I made a video that's working here.

Anyone have a 5080 FE and knows if it needs a sag bracket? I’m hoping to not have to get one because I have bottom mounted fans and it would be more difficult to support. I’m new to the bigger GPU’s even though the FE is quite slim. Thanks !

Why don’t just give a 12v-2x6 cable instead

The whole lineup so far, price differences, and performance reviews are confusing as hell! I’m going into my 3rd year of college for software engineering and use unreal engine a LOT for game dev.

i’ve been running a GTX 1060 6gb with 16gb ddr4 and an i7 8700k for years, but i’ve finally come to terms with the fact that it’s time for an upgrade! At this point i’ll be doing the GPU, PSU, and RAM. My issue though is that the whole new lineup is so damn confusing. At the moment i’m torn between the 5080 and waiting for 5070/ti. Here in new zealand they are about $1.5k USD for the 5080, or $3k USD for the 5090 making the latter out of my price range unfortunately.

I used to stay very up to date with the latest hardware news up until a build my PC a few years ago, but haven’t kept up much since and now i’m in shock at how much info there is, so i’ve come to you guys for help. thanks!!

Hi guys, I'm looking for photo of real size comparison 1080 vs 2080 vs 3090 vs 4090 vs 5090 RTX cards. All in one photo. Can you help me?

Hey everyone I think it’s time to upgrade my 3060TI. Was looking into a 5070 or is that over kill for my specs?

My specs

Gigabyte H470I Aorus Pro AX Intel

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10600K CPU

64GB ram

EVGA 3060 TI FTW

Thanks for taking the time to read my post!

it initially told me the delivery date was 4 months out but i noticed I have an email saying it will be before the 4th of february is this an automated useless email or an updated delivery date?

So I'm still running the legendary 1080 t.i but like all legends, it's finally time for the new generations to take over.

I currently found a ProArt RTX 4080 super 16gb for $2,000 my currency (as currently there's shortage of 4080/4090 series, every store is out of stock)

My question is, should i go ahead with this 4080 or wait for the announcement of the 5070 T.I?

Currently it seems like the 4080 super is going to be the better card but a lot of opinions/videos state that DLSS 4 is a game changer but i hear that nvidia will upgrade 40 series with DLSS4 anyhow.

So in your expert opinion, what should i do? - 4080 or 5070 t.i

I cant seem to figure it out, the exact dimensions, ive seen some people have had issues with their 5080s and 5090s fitting in hyte y70 cases, well not really "not fitting" but not being "compatible" for 1 reason or another.

I am by no means an expert at building pcs obv and would like to have as few issues as possible when i recieve the 5090 for my rig and fitting it into the new case.

I have also never fit liquid cooling so any tips on that would be great, currently my 9800x3d has a peerless assassin air cooler

my planned aib cooler is the corsair h150i to go with my corsair fans and I like its look/screen.

Im looking at all the websites and none of them mention the founders edition. All of them have the 3rd party manufacturer that say sold out yet it doesn’t show the founders edition. I just want to know if they only sell one wave of FE cards and then leave it to the 3rd manufacturers. I know that all the 5090 are sold out.

I thought I'd share some observations and tips from my experiences the past few launches, including succeeding at getting an order in with Best Buy for a 5090. This is going to be long and uninteresting unless you are really trying to catch a founder's edition.

The standard tips are real: be logged in, have your location saved, have credit card saved. You will have no chance without these.

People seem to have equal success with BB mobil app and PC, I succeeded on PC.

Join a discord. I joined Falcodrin discord, highly recommend. Here's why: the stock alerts I had set up with several different systems all alerted me within a second of the "add to cart" button going yellow. The discord alerts were "5090 drop coming soon!" a minute BEFORE the button turns yellow.

When the drop is about to start, refresh the product page ONE time. The button will turn yellow BEFORE the product is actually available. In the past, the product would actually be available first, which meant bots had time to add the cards to their cart before any human even saw a yellow button, not anymore.

So now, if you are there and ready, your first few clicks of the "add to cart" button actually throw an "out of stock" error. That means you are early. Close that error and click again as quickly as you can until you join the queue.

If you are in good shape still, you will very soon (<1 minute for me) be asked to validate your account using a code to you mobile or email. I think mobile is faster and I used the mobile->windows link so I just copied and pasted the number in really fast.

Now it will look for stock "near you" (designated to go to your region) for a minute or two, and if all is well you will be kicked to your cart to pay, which you should do very fast by typing in your CVV.

This is anecdotal, but I haven't heard of anyone being in the queue long and winning this time around. There aren't very many to win, so you are either fast/lucky enough to win right off the bat, or you wait in a queue for 10 minutes for no reason.

Best of luck to you all. Never pay a scalper.

I’m in the process of building a new PC. I recently bought a lightly used 4090 FE for $1400 but for some reason, I find myself trying to get a 5090 🙄

For context, I’m coming from an RX 5700 XT / Ryzen 9 3900X set up and am planning to upgrade to a 4090 / Ryzen 7 9800X3D. I play on an Ultrawide 3440x1440 144 Hz monitor that I’m planning to keep for at least a couple more years. I mostly play story-driven single player games.

While waiting for the rest of the components to arrive, I find myself trying to already upgrade to a 5090 before even trying out the 4090. Since I waited so long to upgrade, I kinda want to get all the bells and whistles and be good for a while. Can you please talk me out of it and convince me that the 4090 will be good for at least 5 years? My wallet depends on it 🫠

Edit: new CPU

Also what price do they sell them for over there? Around the 1300E mark?

I tested it in several games on my RTX 4070 Ti at 4K resolution with DLSS scaling enabled. My brother noticed similar performance boost on RTX 4080 after updating FG and Streamline files in some games.

Here are the example results from Horizon Forbidden West, 4K DLSS P Transformer Preset K, settings Very high, enabled FG.

Original FG 3.5.10, original Streamline 2.2.1: 113.9 FPS

New FG 310.1.0, original Streamline 2.2.1: 133.2 FPS

New FG 310.1.0, new Streamline 2.7.2: 143.0 FPS

https://imgsli.com/MzQ1Mjc1/0/2

Streamline 2.7.2 can be downloaded from here or files can be copied from another game, e. g. Cyberpunk 2077 2.21.

Streamline .dll files are located in the game directory (files with names starting from sl.). Unreal Engine games have files in a different directory than the .exe file, e.g. Jedi Survivor\Engine\Plugins\Runtime\Nvidia\Streamline\Binaries\Thirdparty\Win64.

When updating Streamline, always copy file sl.pcl.dll even if it wasn't originally in the game directory.

Games (tested by me) compatible with new Streamline:

• Black Myth Wukong
• Senua's Saga Hellblade II
• Ghost of Tsushima
• Jedi Survivor
• Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered
• Horizon Forbidden West
• LEGO Horizon Adventures

Important

Some of games (e.g. Witcher 3 NG) uses old version of Streamline and it can't be replaced due to incompatibility.

Make a copy of the original files before replacing them.

Don't modify files in multiplayer games.

Even though it’s on the list of games that support Dlss override it says unsupported in the app has anyone encountered this

Since this update is quite new, all previous content on youtube/reddit is now kinda “outdated”. Im struggling to get more than 60 FPS even with DLSS set to ultra performance. Am i missing something?

Have i misread this or is there now potential for us to pay even more after we've already pre-ordered?

" Fair Price on your pre-order price

If the price drops, we'll refund you the difference at the time of shipping.
If the price increases, we’ll notify you in advance—you can choose to accept or cancel your order.

When will the cards be launching internationally, and whats the cheapest way to buy them in Finland? Will it be cheaper buying from Germany for example? The taxes in finland are ass and I'm wondering if its better not to buy it imported.

I’m running a Ryzen 9 9950X which doesn’t have any hardware acceleration for H.265 422 10-bit. I usually make proxies for a smooth editing experience.

Hi all,

I just installed the MSI RTX 5080 Suprim into my Rig. I completely uninstalled the old drivers with DDU in safe mode before installing new ones.

Somehow my primary monitor is changed everytime I install the new 572.16 driver. The displayport cables are correct in the GPU, and the primary monitor is also right without installing the GPU drivers. XD

Does anyone lese has this issue? Also my mouse freezes sometimes on desktop. RIP GPU or driver issue?

Hello everyone, I'll try to explain what is concerning me these days.
I have already all parts (9800x3d, 64gb ram, 2+2+4TB ssd/nvme etc...) for a build I'm planning to do for a 5090. In my worst expectations I thought that 5090 would realistically be available up late february/early march, but talking with people working in logistic that like me are waiting for new nvidia gpu's, they were told that at the very best big stocks of 5080 and 5090 will come only by late april in europe with a reasonable accessibility only by summer 🤦🏻‍♂️
now, this is what I've been told, so nothing carved on stone of course, but considering I have a certain urgency to complete the build and finally install the pc in my new apartment, do you think would be wiser
A) wait up to the summer to get a 5090
B) get a 4080 soon and carry on with that until 60xx release?

I don't think MGF will ever be added to 40xx (at least not in official way) but I don't really care of ray tracing since I use PT only for photomode of cyberpunk.
What I'm looking for is to play at 3840x1600 on most recent demanding AAA up to 120fps on dlss4 perf + FG since I'll use this pc on a LG C4. Do you think 4080 is the right choice?
4090 is out of discussion because can't be found anywhere and 2nd hand 4090 are >2000€

Let me know your opinions.
Luckly I can afford a 5090, so please avoid comments like 50xx overpriced, you're not paying for real frames etc... I know already that 5090 is a waste of money anyhow, but I don't think can go on much longer with my 2080ti.
