Just replace the CPU with a GPU silly 🥰🥰
Like duh 😂
This is kind of possible but it takes too long to explain. IBM Cell was one failed attempt at it.
The more you buy, the more you save ~
exactly. you have money for 5090, but not for CPU upgrade lol

I think you missed the joke.
Anyway, I remember Intel trying to go the other way with Larrabee trying to use stripped-down x86 cores to create a GPU. It was interesting, but predictably was very inefficient for GPU tasks. So I'm curious WHY they put the money into it. I'm not going to just assume there was no purpose whatsoever based on my limited computer experience.
What a world we live in where we are concerned that our GPUs have gotten so good we bottleneck the CPU at 4K high refresh rate. I remember when getting 1080p60 was the dream for high end hardware.
its still is for me on a 2080ti although with DLSS i can go up to 1440p.
@@stephenmeinhold5452 Yh Alan Wake 2 can barely run at 1080P on my 4090 with raytracing on lol.
my 3900x lacks in 4k in some areas believe it or not
@@Veganarchy-Zetetic You know that this is due to developer's laziness to optimize the game, right?
@@LordKosmux I would say it has a lot to do with Ray Tracing.
VR needs more power. Always. My 4090 isn't good enough for high resolution headsets in graphic intense games. The new headsets on the horizon with 3800x3800 resolution per eye will easily chew through the power of the next few generations of GPUs.
Real
Who in their right mind would develop a game that NEEDS something faster than a 4090 to be good.
If VR needs that much power, VR games need to go for several thousand dollars each to make a profit with current tech.
One can hope that next gen consoles and NVidia 6000 series mid range cards get to that level
Hopefully, there are tricks like frame generation and higher resolution where you are looking that help.
@@mattzun6779 Not official games. But the UEVR mod allows you to play non VR UE games in VR mode. Imagine running the latest UE5 games at about 6k resolution, aiming for 90FPS stable. My 3080 couldn`t even run simple games like Talos Principle 2 at a playable quality or frame rate. Best I got was a blurry mess equivalent to 720p at low settings at about 80ish FPS. This is why I am waiting for the 5080/90 so I can finally play those UE games in VR.
Yea and tons of games can do higher render scaling, and the 4090 is not strong enough 4k max 8k Render at 144hz+
@@mattzun6779 I personally would hope games will be scalable enough to use all the power from the lower end up to the ultra high end.
32" 4K/240hz OLED displays would be an obvious target for the 5090.
8k 120hz/144hz
even a 5090 wouldn't be able to push 4k 240fps... unless u only playing cs and LoL lmao so I seriously see no point in looking at those displays yet. 1440p still makes way more sense for high refresh rates.
That's all well and good, but I've just gotten a 4k 240hz monitor, I have a 4090 and 5900X, and even games from 2015 are CPU bottlenecked, 240hz should never be a target. Making 8k gaming doable seems to be what it'll be targeting, we don't need better GPUs for 4k right now.
@@GatsuRage Well the more FPS the better. 4K looks way better than 1440P, and OLED is better than any display in the market.
@GatsuRage I get 180-220 in cod Vanguard with my 4090 at.4k max no dlss. But yea the 5090 won't be able to do cyberpunk 2077 max 4k 240 and other similar games. But easier games for sure.

@@darkdraconis it's a song bruh
@@professorJorge11 it's a joke brah
Let me teach you, professor. There's this thing called DLDSR. You can render games at 1440p and 1620p, mantain high af FPS and still get a much better and crispy clean graphics on your 1080p. Sure, a 4090 user (or even a 5090 user) could do with a 1440p monitor, but your analogy is entirely wrong in this case as there is a use for those GPUs with a 1080p monitor.
@@CeceliPS3 I have a Radeon 7600. There's no DLSS, it's FSR2
As a 4K/120 gamer I can promise you that we're still GPU limited with the 4090. I often have to compromise on AAA games by enabling DLSS 3 or lower settings, and sometimes just hit 60 FPS. At the same time, I do think upscaling is changing our requirements and expectations, so I hope the silicon can be optimized around that. We don't necessarily need more pixel shader performance if we assume upscaling. The die space is better spent on other features.
I can think of one title you would be fully GPU limited on that card is Cyberpunk 2077 path tracing mode.. and that game is an outlier and also extremely CPU heavy, I'm CPU bottlenecked on that title in certain areas on a 4070s so I'd get your card looked at because something wrong there.
And to max out high end VR headsets these days a 6090 is probably not enough...
@EmblemParade - What CPU and RAM are you running? CPU and RAM has a lot to do with it as well. - but I also agree with @starkr3ality - 4090 @ 4k 120 should be running fine on all AAA games with a couple of exceptions being Cyberpunk or Microsoft Flight Sim - A 4090 should be maxing out all AAA @4Kx120hz. You have got to be hitting a CPU Bottleneck and that is why your having to lower graphics settings to get your desired results. Again this is mostly assumption at this point as I have no idea what CPU or RAM your running but this is what makes sense in my mind with what you stated in your post.
@@ghostofreality1222 Look at benchmarks from HardwareUnboxed, GamersNexus, and others, and see that you are very far from the mark. I have a 5800X3D and high-end DDR4 RAM. I'm not saying that I'm not having a great time with this setup, but forget about ultra settings AAA at 4K without the help of DLSS. The 4090 is great, but 4K is a lot of pixels.
@@StarkR3ality cyberpunk is no longer an outlier...Alan wake 2 made sure of that. I am guessing helllblade 2 further confirm that.
Diminishing returns at this point. Games are unoptimized that's the only reason why these ridiculously stupid specs are needed.

This was somehow very hard to read/understand, but I got it at the end of the day.
What if they get smaller instead? A GPU the size of your smartphone. And the price of a house.
I'll only consider the 5090 if it puts my house at risk of burning down. If it can't do that then its not powerful enough.
Nvidia Power Plug Engineer: "Hold my half caf soy milk grande carmel macchiato."
I'm an overheating enthusiast myself and would like to see products that carry risk of spontaneous human combustion.
Easy, just put steel wool on it while playing
Just get a 14900ks then your good to go
it will be more efficient than a 4090, which can powercapped at 70% and running at 98% performance.. meaning a 5090 will be able to run at itsnfull potential at lower than 300w. stock power is too much power already
the 4090 is still hugely gpu limited in games like MSFS2020 in VR, and i expect 2024 to be utterly devastating in VR - and i'm all for it. We get closer and closer to Star Trek computer simulations every year.
Visually yeah a single flagship videocard is getting closer and closer when it comes to rasterization. But the holodeck virtual npc's have GTP-5 or higher level AI, the physics simulations are orders of magnitudes more realistic and computationally demanding, true pathtracing without the need for any denoising, ultra realistic animations. Latency is also an issue with these LLM responses. So you'd need an entire futuristic datacenter's worth of power with futuristic networking that provides exponentially quicker responses, so even a single flagship videocard from 2045 wouldn't be enough.
Actually the cpu is definitely the bottle neck when using a 4090 in MSFS VR, in my experience . I have a 7800x3d and a 4090 using a Vive pro 2 on highest settings and no matter what graphical setting I change it makes little difference in frame rate, but if I lower traffic I get a huge boost, which is all CPU based calculations. Very Poor CPU optimization unfortunately.

Il ride my 4070 Super until next gen consoles drop. Thats when the jump to ai NPU's for gaming and other new features will push me to upgrade. Honestly its overkill for 1440p in the games i play at the moment.
There is always a bottleneck in a pc depending on the resolution and game settings. Doesn't matter if it's a $400 pc or a $4000 pc.
Not exactly if your hardware pars together fine the bottleneck can be the software and not the hardware.
thats why I aim for a monitor bottleneck
Such a dumb argument, there is a difference between something BARELY hindering performance of another part vs a HUGE hinderance.
Alex said especially with RT it'll be CPU bound, because of the BVH workload. But what the next generation could offer is moving the BVH maintenance to the GPU alleviating a whole bunch of CPU work.
Npu s will also come to rescure either on gpus or cpus
@@Hi-levels I don't think that has anything to do with RT's BVH workload, the only thing an NPU could do better is AI denoising, but nvidia already has dedicated hardware to do that on RT cards, and I'm pretty sure an NPU would introduce too much latency for realtime denoising as a separate piece of hardware.
RT is so GPU intensive that I don't see how it could CPU limit games.
If I activate RT in games, CPU load tends to lower because GPU is struggling.
I have i5 and 3080
50%, 70%, or even double the power of 4090, as long as it's not melting it's connector it's fine by me

Until it does triple 4K at 240Hz without DLSS or frame generation, there's always room for more. :) Whether there's enough of a market for that outside of the sim-racing and flight-sim niches, I don' tknow, but I'd buy one.

Battlemage will do this.
@@fcukugimmeausername You are clearly out of your mind
8k 144hz will come out soon definitely need more power. Never enough.
64k even
Parallelism is badly needed in many game engines, and modern consumer CPUs really need more cores. Single core performance uplift is too small to keep up anymore. More game engines need to adopt the strategy of running tasks in parallel, instead of just using a render thread, lighting thread, logic thread etc. Easier said than done, but it is the only real way forward.
Ampere didn't have price cuts of any kind, it maintained the price hikes of Turing.
I mean, 4k120 has to be on the table for most games. Even 4k90, throw on some DLAA, call it good. Aside from totally broken PC ports I feel like we're still GPU limited 99% of the time, especially if you have something like a 7800x3D.
depends what res like you've said, but a lot of the games alex mentioned and others, I'm bottlenecked on a 5800x3d with a 4070 super at 1440p in a lot of modern titles, which is crazy right?
For me, only use case for 90 class and even 80 class GPU's is if you're going to be using 4K and ray tracing in every title available. When you're getting GPU's like the 4090 that are doubling performance gen on gen, and then you get a what? 20% increase in perf going from a 5800x3d to the 7800x3d.
CPU's cannot keep up and it's really starting to show.

I will just use DLDSR + DLAA on a 4k 120 Hz TV/monitor. CPU won't be the limiting factor, and I'm always getting graphical upgrade.

@@ZackSNetworksame but 4080
never going to happen in the next 3 years. RT takes about 100x more computational power than rasterization does & most RT relies on rasterization as a base. Expect Blackwell to only be 20%-30% faster than a RTX 4090 at most. unless Blackwell comes out with a massive 224 R.O.P.'s ore more it isn't going to be that fast.
dlss set to dlaa is where it's at though imo. Better than TA AA native resolution.
Will the i9 14900k be able to work well with a 5090 even at 35000 watts?
GPUs are getting faster at a pace that CPUs can't quite keep up with. I have an RTX 3090 paired with a Ryzen 7 5800X 3D and in games with heavy ray tracing like Spider Man Remastered, my 3090 is CPU limited even at 1440p and to some degree at 4K. I am itching a CPU upgrade right now way more than a GPU upgrade, my 3090 is still fine. I am looking to upgrade to a 9800X 3D when it comes out.
Stupid methods of rendering that move too much data around, need to rebuilt complex data structures all the time, ...
It sounds like the game engines aren't designed 'properly'... Can't the (RTX) GPU handle most of the processing necessary for high quality ray tracing? I didn't realize that even with RTX that Ray Tracing was most often restricted by CPU performance! Isn't the GPU supposed to be doing all the additional Ray Tracing processing?
@@StreetPreacherr There is a lot of intermediate steps that need a lot of CPU, in case of raytracing it seems the spatial subdivision is one of them for example. Uncompressed assets, assets with excessive detail, poor code parallelism... are other examples of causes of bottlenecks in general.
That’s because the Ampere GPU’s handled data weird. The 4070 Super is way faster than a 3090 in 1080p and faster in 1440p as well.
Spider-Man is a very specific game, it is heavily CPU-limited (but with high fps, not like DD2), but it is an exception. It is hard to find visible CPU-bottlenecks in most games in 4k, with 4090 and top CPU (or even new mid or smth like 5800X3D).
If we're talking about RT I think it heavily differ from game to game. It's very CPU demanding in S-M:R or especially Hogwart's Legacy, but not at all in CP2077.
I would honestly not mind if it would be too fast or even more power efficient with the new architecture, because I would mainly use the card like that for rendering purposes.
The thing I'd be hoping for on a RTX 5090 would be two 8 pin power connectors and a return to more sane power consumption. More/faster VRAM would be nice too as I feel that that has been the RTX 4090's bottleneck, especially at 4K.
Other grab bag of features would be the return of nvLink/SLI support to scale up via multi-GPU and integrating some Thunderbolt 5 controllers. It'd be nice to be able to plug a USB-C monitor directly into the GPU without external cabling and get full USB support on the display and other peripherals connected to it. Similarly with Thunderbolt 5, it'd be clever to include a mode where you could use the GPU externally for a laptop without the need for a Thunderbolt bridge board in an external chassis. Literally just the card, power supply and a power switch to turn it on. The PCIe slot connector would go unused.
My RTX 4090 GPU usage percentage is all over the place in 4K and in the Pimax Crystal (2x4K) with an i9-12900k.
It never stays at 99% or even 98%.
It usually varies from 100% to 80% constantly in 4K.
My RTX 3080 usually stayed at 99% to 98% in 4K.
In GPU-Z I’m now limited by Voltage and the limiting factor line is always blue instead of green. Even when I overclock my P-Cores to 52 and E-Cores to 40.
My next PC upgrade may need to be the 14900ks.
"Hi guys exclamation point"
LOL Dafuq! That was hilarious.
Considering the 5090 will be $1700 at least, it needs to be twice as fast as the 4090 to be worth it.
Rumor is it's 70%.
twice? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
70% raw performance improvement, along with a better version of frame gen to boost frame rates even more than the 40 series version would be worth it.
that's a weird argument.
I don't think so, it likely will be above $2000 due to them using the same node as Ada and Hopper, their data center B100 is already twice as large as the H100 in order to have a decent performance uplift on the same node, so twice as large on the same node should mean twice as expensive, especially when they still aren't using chiplets yet.
if the 5090 is bottlenecked by current market cpus like the ryzen 9 79503xd or the i7 14700k / 14900k which cpu would bottleneck the 5090 the least

Thankfully AMD have opened a door for us with X3D. CPUs finally start becoming useful for gaming with ultra high speed memory (e.g on-die cache).
The CPU side is interesting cause CPU limitations seem to be universal to all modern CPU. Like pretty much every major release will either run perfectly fine on the now iconic 3600 or if it's struggling on that it's struggling on everything. Havinh a faster CPU with more threads seem to not make much of a difference at this point. Most modern CPU don't look in any inherent danger of being underpowered for the job. It's just game developers struggling to get to grips with the multithreading and that affects all modern CPUs pretty much just as badly.
*It's just game developers struggling to get to grips with the multithreading..."*
No, it's just that ever since the Great Consolization of 2008 all AAA games have been designed and coded for console HW.

Cyberpunk 2077 with path tracing in VR using VorpX/Luke Ross with a render resolution of ~10000x5000 at 90+ Hz would probably break the 5090 Ti Egregious Super too. Maybe when 8090 TiTi Super Duper comes around.
I wonder if an ASIC on the GPU would be able to compile shaders on the fly, provided a new API is exposed for that.
I use an RTX 3090 right now and I would actually be interested in upgrading if they would start making mini versions of GPU's again. The 40XX series (and AMD's 7900 series) are all gigantic and since I build ITX rigs, they're just not interesting to me. But imagine if they used the smaller processor nodes to keep the performance the same and instead used the node advantage to shrink GPU's. One can dream.
Part of the reason why I went with the NR200 for my first itx build. I still remember seeing someone with a 4090 in theirs lol makes my 3080 ftw3 look tiny
i play dcs and msfs2020 with a 12900k and 4090 in VR and i can get the fps i want and then it's all a matter of turning knobs for how much visual quality you want and visual quality makes you gpu limited so .... for me a 5090 would probably help
Lazy optimization,makes hardware upgrades a must,look at mgsv fox engine can run on old cpus
Once you hit certain quality-experience performance thresholds in gaming, it doesn't matter & becomes overkill for the sake of giggles. It only matters to professional bench markers & internet braggarts.

Yep. PCVR is where these overkill cards will shine.
What are they going to do after the 9090 comes out will it be the 10k90
Probably go back to small number like how AMD did it with their HD7970 > RX 290 > RX 390 etc..
I mean with power GPU power comes more scope to add VFX, textures, higher resolutions, frames, VR etc.
Honestly maybe a slight increase in performance from a 4090 but with much more efficiency would be awesome. Imagine 4090 level performance at only 200 watts for example, it would be crazy!

high end VR-oriented features? not melting?
Improvements are probably gonna be modest, both in software and in hardware.
More interpolated frames is not bad, but it's in the marginal gains category.
I see a couple of fronts where they could make progress, though most of this probably won't come with Blackwell.
Generated predicated frames. Instead of interpolating real frames, the next is simply predicated. This get's rid of the latency issue.
A more integrated neural rendering approach.
Lot's deep learning powered NPCs in games.
At this point, graphics cards are a side-hustle for NVidia's primary business: AI infratructure.
The problem is x86, no matter how low level your API is, you still have to run everything through the CPU due to how the PCI bus works. Basically we would need a bypass of some sort akin to what AGP did.
That's why we need an ARM/Risk architecture as soon as possible.
maybe not if the GPU of the 5090 is used to take AI calculations from the CPU, like it did with PhysX. It could well max out the htz of 1080p and 1440p, but 4k is getting to 144hz
Ehat i want is a 240hz 4k CRT
CPUs only bottleneck at low resolution/high refresh rates. Just means that when it's time to upgrade the CPU, I won't have to worry about updating the GPU (future proofing).

People getting GPU limited in 95% of their games: ...
The same people getting CPU limited in the remaining 5%, of which only 1% actually results in a sub 100fps framerate: OH NO I'M CPU BOTTLENECKED!!
There are ways to spend the GPU extra power, like on monitors of higher resolution and refresh rate. And if you care much about a specific game where CPU bottleneck is a thing, then invest more in CPU and less in GPU. Not hard, giving high tier GPUs cost multiples of high tier CPUs.
Yeah pretty much. CPU rarely bottlenecks unless you're playing an RTS.
Not to mention that 4090 and 5090 are 4k cards, even older cpus rarely bottleneck the 4090 on 4k.
Rich is a gem.
Imstead of Silicon why not opt for Graphite
I think it's too hard to tell.
On 4k probably not, lower res though, maybe
But next gen of cpus is also looking great.
Who'd by a 5090 to play in less than 4k?
@@GabrielPassarelliG Probably no one i would say.
I really doubt it on 4k. 4090 is pretty much the bottleneck in 4k even if you have an older cpu.
Just get a G9 57" monitor or any other 4K+ monitor. You'll instantly be GPU bound again.
I love questions like this because they assume on some level that large companies (Nvidia, AMD, Microsoft, Intel etc) wouldn't be thinking about bottlenecks or be actively working on developing new ways to utilize cutting edge hardware.

If they rush a 2024 launch, I will wonder more about 4090 owners needing to upgrade. Normally, there is some big, melts your PC (no pun) game that calls for the upgrade, but the only one I can see that might gain from a 5090 is Stalker 2. I would have thought a mid-2025 would have been better.
Frame-gen is not a solution. It is a work-around. Those with a 5090 won't have to use it.
I think you mean shouldnt have to use it
DLSS is magic in a lot of cases. I’ve played many games now that look better under DLSS quality with sharpening at 100%.
Frame gen is specifically designed to boost performance in cpu limited games. Has little to do with lack of graphics performance.
@@numlock9653 it is not little. Asset quality is on the GPU. With frame-gen you can have those higher assets render at a lower frame-rate and have frame-gen fill in the gap.
@@numlock9653 every game I've played the GPU is 99% and the CPU is down around 30%. When it is the other way around the game is not made correctly.
The current 4080 and 4090 are already bottlenecked by current cpu’s, hyper threading and e cores are total bs
The thing of expecting the game developer to code DX12 code to the CPU to handle GPU tasks better has an issue. 1 major one right now of right now DX12 is a wrapper but to code for what they are talking about the wrapper will have to change and the change will mean limited CPU support. Even in the same SKU might not be supported if they do it wrong and remove to much of the wrapper to get to the CPU to say to let the GPU do GPU to itself not GPU to CPU to call the GPU thing.
There are so many ways it can be messed up there is a reason why the API was made. Yes not using it is quicker just coding for the CPU whiich is part of what DX12 will allow you to do is a thing. It is a think i think was made for the datacenter not the consumer. Like .net games it contains both data center parts and consumer parts. In the data center you know the CPU model in every server as you can go look it up to know what to put into the code. For games you have literally millions of possiable CPUs that might be in the system. So saying the game will only work on this gen of CPUs not the next not the before for this one will kill the game after that gen of CPU is no longer sold. So good idea good for the server market bad for the consumer market.
Now the part you go through the DX12 wrapper for is slower than it allowing you direct access to the hardware. How much slower? 1 to 100 cycles slower which isn't that much when you figure in the CPU is usually doing nothing waiting on another part of data to be sent to it. This part is used as the code doesn't have to be for that CPU but any x86 CPU. Yes there is a slow down but with all APIs you have a slow down.
The RTX 5090 will most likely be bottlenecked by the coding not the CPU. When in a pure GPU load the RTX 5090 will most likely be bottleneck by the PCI gen 4 x16 speed not the CPU. Better coding is needed but easily readable by humans coding is what is taught in schools. So the compiler used doesn't always make the objective best binary output. What is used like you know is the binary output that basically is a go there do this file.
I have no idea why they are talking about 1080p, it is a GPU designed and designed for 4k or more and in those resolutions it is very clear that it will not have problems with current generation processors even with its mid-range whether it is 7600 or I5, hi From Venezuela !!
Any performance gain from cpu, and gpu is always a gain. Now old age questions, how much people willing to pay for that little or a lot of gain?
Nice conversations, but did they really answer the question? I think the user was asking that how can the most powerful consumer graphics card money can buy really enhance gaming experiences when we also need equally powerful CPU performance to make this happen which often causes choking on the GPU? I mean I can name a plethora of things video games are lacking today that REALLY need improvements to improve experiences compared to what we have had for the past decade or two, with some being physics in real-time(this will always need improvements), real-time water physics(this is EXTREMELY held back and limited because of limitations in CPU calculations), 3-D volumetric special effects(I believe this is GPU focused and CPU focused) as well as robotic NPC's that suck you out of immersion(this is heavily CPU needed as well), so point being we can have these powerful GPU's but if video game experiences don't improve we are stuck with the same mediocre gameplay with shiny polished graphics at 556 FPS. Also VR, to me at least, IS the absolute FUTURE OF GAMING, being able to actually transport yourself into these incredible worlds, and that requires much more powerful hardware both GPU and CPU. My hope though is that solutions are found to fix these concerns and allow developers to have more fun creating games and not be limited constantly by hardware. PS5 was really exciting when it released because of the way they saw SSD's bottlenecking a lot of freedom for developers, and they found a solution that even pushed outwards into the PC SSD market as well since most PC SSD's at that time weren't hitting speeds PS5 was because of I/O throughput issues. My hope is Cerny and his amazing team come up with bottleneck solutions for improving CPU performance, allowing more efficient multithread performance in games that will stretch out into the industry and become standard you know? And I imagine Ai will also assist in numerous ways with improving performance, user experience and helping developers make games more polished and advanced. SO exciting to think about...
It is unlikely that even the upcoming Intel Arrow Lake 15900K or AMD Ryzen 9 will be able to keep up with the RTX5090. Intel, in particular, will need to introduce its Novalake (16P core xxE core) with DDR6 RAM to support the RTX5090 ASAP .
This is a non issue at 4k when ryzen 9000 comes out, it is set ti improvw gaming 17,3% across the board
I’m gaming on 7680x2160 samsung g9 57” with 4090 and 7800x3d. I sure hope I can get more fps with the 5090.
games use to be gpu bound, over the past few years, now they are both cpu and gpu, impressive regression in developing games
5090 needs a built in smoke detector above 12VHP cable.
Nvidia is bundling it with a popcorn attachment so if your gpu burns at least you got a snack
I thought about some elegant solution like 12vhpwr port with integrated temperature sensor or some way to sense resistance in the connector. Or make sure the new 12v-2x6 are working as they're supposed to.
There is no problem keeping a gpu bussi with pathtracing. More samples...more bounces...until we reach unbiased territory
Best current pairing for a 5090 will be the 7800x3d. its only like 300 bucks and the am5 platform is gonna be around for a few more years, we'll get a more compatible one at some point in the future, no use wasting the extra 300 on a 7950. or wasting 700 on having to replace an intel board and cpu.
I wish my games will be cpu limited when I get a RTX 5090 to use on my Neo G9 S57 with 7680x2160 @ 240hz😅
So here you have a real usecase.
No, i use VR on ACC and with my 4090 still cant run 100% resolution. I need the 5090
Depends on your target framerate obviously. Also not everyone likes the DLSS reconstruction techniques specifically in motion. A 5080 is probably going to be my upgrade from a 3080.
My 4090 is already CPU limited in basically all games (and very CPU limited in many of my favorite games) but I play at 1440.
I’d be most interested in how much quicker 5090 renders in blender than the 4090. My 3090 still takes forever in highly detailed projects.
Enough now of this, it’s becoming click bait
AAA titles at 4k with rt on will be the sweet target for 5090
I play @1080p and have an i9 13900k and a 3080... I have no issues with any modern game and prob wont for another couple of years at least lol... The 5090 would be insane for me haha...
5090 is useful for flight sim vr on 4k per eye... for fortnite like games that people love on 240hz and on1080p.. they need a less powerfull gpu
We dont even have 4, 5, 6, or 8k displays with the new display port 2.1 standard yet.
They just made a 4k with dp 2.1
A Geforce RTX 3060 is right at home with an old i7-4790 especially when playing games in 4K so a 5090 would be right at home with either a 13th/14th generation i9 or Ryzen 9 7950X/7950X3D.
Black myth wukong and my 8K mini led TV enters chat
I'd love to see less power draw - not gonna happen, lower price - not going to happen, thinner - not gonna happen so that leaves about 4 times the ray tracing performance - probably not gonna happen.
Any games out there that are actually maxing out the 4090 ?
Unless you are using it at 1080p pretty much anything released in the last few years.
When you use DLAA plus ray tracing at 4K in games like CP2077 and Alan Wake, I don't think the CPU will be limiting you. Plus there's the future proof aspect, games tend to get heavier in terms of graphics as a generation goes on, CPU requirements usually stagnate.
Dlaa isn’t the best picture quality objectively, For now cyberpunk ( i think ) you can’t use ray reconstruction without Dlss correct me if I’m wrong
The optical GPU is just around the corner. So is the optical CPU 10K times faster than we have now.
No it’s not, gaming in 4K with Ray Tracing even with DLAA or DLSS is the most beautiful graphics I’ve ever seen and that’s just with my 3090. With a 5090 I can turn off DLSS and go Native and still get spectacular FPS.
CPUs are lightyears ahead against GPUs on 4k res and above (VR).
' 4K screens coming online now... ' rofl as if they haven't already been released by a year or two.
7800x3D is rarely being used above 50-60% in games using the 4090. (at 4k)
I dont think it will bottleneck the 7800x3D when it comes to gaming at all. Will still be an amazing CPU for it.
Yeah I think even Zen 5/9800X3D and the strongest 15th Gen Core i9 will be bottlenecks in a lot of games even at 4K 120Hz or faster. Plus we tend to get a lot of titles unoptimized on the CPU side or where RT eats a lot of CPU time
Put some kind of onboard ARM cores with direct access to the VRAM. Run calculations there.
U know what's gonna happen? Nvidia be like, so guys can't keep with us huh? We gonna design our own CPU! That's _exactly_ what happened to Intel. Apple be like, get you $hit together or we going our own way. Now we have M1/2/3 and soon 4. Watch Intel/AMD stocks TUMBLE when Nvidia announce their own CPU!!! AMD/Intel better get their $hit together.
$2500 for +15% max over 4090.
I think there will be more demanding games that could potentially make the 5090 work 100%. Also, when we think of 4K and the new high refresh rates, then a 5090 has a lot more use case scenarios. At least, with a 3090, I can barely do 60fps in modern games while playing in 4k. I think a 5090 would definitely push it to 120fps before my Ryzen 5900x has any trouble. And it's not even a gaming CPU. Some of the new generation x3D ones from AMD are a lot more powerful than it in games. Obviously, not all games require such powerful GPU, but it will not be more powerful than what we can take advantage of.
