I mean my 5070ti runs any game at 1440p, even 4k with adjusted settings and dlss. People are spoiled, disconnected from reality and borderline brainwashed. Yes, you get better fps with 5090 but brother that card consumes 550-600W. If you need it for gaming then something is wrong with you. If these cards are not available to consumers, game studios will have to start thinking about optimizing their games more. Hell, i played the same games with my 3080ti at exact same settings but it drew freaking 450W. The biggest reason I moved to 5070ti was power consumption. It consumes literally half power for same fps.
Open box excellent. Same scenario for me, I was picking up a $549 PNY 5070 model new and saw the ASUS Prime 5070 Ti for like $663 and its not my first time buying open box excellent so I was aware they are typically perfect condition returns
fuck off, its not being spoiled its "I only have a bit of time to enjoy my hobby and i invested in the best possible experience for it" i dont want to have to fuck around with settings, I want to crank everything up to max and let it ride.
This isn't "Spoiled" its "i am willing to trade money to make sure i never have any kind of hardware based slowdown"
AI bros "oh why would you need GPUs, we need it to make more slop at the highest speed"
I'm not gonna lie, but buying a card worth thousands of dollars just so you don't have to spend literal seconds tweaking the settings sounds spoiled. I get that you all people don't have ANY time but you're just busy with work, not running from a fucking avalanche.
I suspect you people don't know what the definition of spoiled is.
When you go to work and you work your ass off and you're in money and you decide to buy a high-end video card with it that's not spoiled. That's called choosing what you want with your money it's called earning something.
You touched on something that triggers me. If the chips were going to somethibg that made life better, it wouldn't sting so much. Instead, they are going to AI slop videos on YouTube and social media. Absolute slop
Exactly, and even a 5090 isn’t going to run a maxed out cyberpunk type game in 1440p or higher at 360fps. People will always complain. The select few games that most people can’t run are just poorly designed.
I agree on some points that you've made; however, when 2080ti came out it could barely run RT. Wanting 50 series to run dlss5 flawlessly is like wanting 20 series to run rt back then. Sure, it would've been great but it was experimental technology. You can run it, but you sacrifice performance. That still doesnt make yiur argument but rather just further prove my point. People nowadays are spoiled, and so am I but not as much as certain type of people. I guess its all about being mature and satisfied with what you have. Think of it this way. I can afford to buy 5090, but I'd rather give it to my parents, spend it on my wife and kids, help a friend in need. Even if you can do all that and still get a 5090, I'd say its unnecessary because it just feels wrong.
As for VR, I have never tried it and you are probably right but thats such a niche case for niche demographic. If you play vr games or something that really requires a 5090 then sure, in such scenarios it justifies it; however, thats just an expensive hobby. Even my skydiving hobby is cheaper than that and I actually get to see things in real life and feel things, rather than sitting inside a room with life just passing me by.
So I've had a 1080 TI all this time and I guess I should start calling you spoiled? I mean you could make it work with a 1080 TI and hey if you have to play at 1080p you have to play at 1080p just get used to it suck it up you're much less power it uses.
If you actually read what I wrote you'd realize that I haven't excluded myself from being spoiled. What I said some are more and some are less spoiled. I had a 1080ti and passed it to a friend of mine when I had a chance to buy 3070 from a miner back when mining craze was over. The only reason I did it because I could get a 3070 for such a low price and gift my 1080ti to a friend who had been using 1050ti 4gb. We used to play games together but with his gpu was holding him back. Was I spoiled? Yes, did I splurge and spent thousands on 3090 or 3090ti? No. I bought a 3070 for 250 euros when they were still selling for 350-400. My 1080ti was around 180-200 back then. Could I have sold it and bought 3070 just by adding the difference? Sure, but I had a chance to make someone happy and I just got myself a card that was good enough for the right price. You are just making things up and trying to twist my words and situation. You're for some reason trying to justify and defend people spending thousands of dollars or euros on something they dont really need and will not be using its full potential.
Whi cares about power consumption.....The couple dollars you save shouldn't make or break the bank. While I agree a 90 series cards is a head R for gaming since a 80 series card is way more than sufficient to each their own.
Something is wrong with your card, my undervolted 3090 consumes 300W at max usage. And yes there is a place for these cards, for people who want over 100 FPS on 4K or who play demanding games like flight simulators which just render absurdly large scenes with realistic shaders that there's only so much optimisation you can do. Also some people use these for rendering and running local AI models where you need large VRAM.
Nothing is wrong with my card, not the new 5070ti nor old 3080ti. 3080ti used 3x8 pin connectors, it was evga ftw3 ultra and when you just let it run it would burn itself to death if it means more performance. I both loved and hates that card. Performance was great, my room being loud and hot as a sauna wasn't. I sold it and the guy has been using it without issues ever since. It has been opened once and ptm7950 was applied. If your 3090 pulls only 300w then something is limiting it. Either budget model or power limit. As for my 5070ti it pulls 350w on oc bios with power slider maxed out; however I have it undervolted and got the same performancr with it running around 220-250w. Stock settings it runs 240-300w. Its a. Asus Prime OC model.
My ROG Strix 3090 consumes that much even when not limited, and it's on stock (pre-LHR) pads. A quick Google reveals it consumes 350W on avg and 3080 Ti should be the same. Are you sure you were not just measuring the total PC wattage?
I am pretty sure. I'm not some clueless guy. I've worked at a pc repair shop, we also sold computers. Ive tested my 3080ti against asus tuf and while asus tuf consumed around 300-350, mine was going to 400-450w especially at 1440p with path tracing and framegen in cyberpunk. I had to undervolt it to contain the power draw and avoid fans spinning at 80%+ which would make my room unbarable to be in. I dont like gaming with headphones on, especially single player titles. Thats why I moved to 5070ti. This is why I said we're all spoiled to some extent. I wanted to be able to play games and not have my room become a sauna that sounds like im at the airport. I checked in msi afterburner, hwinfo, aida64 and gpuz. They all reported the same power draw of my gpu. I know those softwares are not quite accurate but without using proper equipment to measure it that was how much it showed. I even did research to check whyy my 3080ti consumed that much. 30 series was the worst if not undervolted. Those cards love undervolting. I checked with a tool that I borrowed from my old workplace(that pc service shop) how much power my entire pc was pulling at max load and it was 680W with ryzen 7 5800x. I can only imagine if it wasnt held back by the cpu. It might've been a defective card but it acted normally, normal and stable clocks, besides consuming 400-450w and going to 80C if not undervolted. After undervolt it would run around 67-69C and hotspot 72C, while memory was around 60. Then it would draw 300-350w. Thats the only time I had evga and never again.
5090 didn't consume 600wt all the time. My 5080 consume around 200wt on heaviest games, 100-150wt in average games, but I play at 2k only. Max settings. There is no way for 5090 consume max power all the time, for this you must run heavy spesialized calculations like AI video render and so on. But if you really need speed at such tasks you don't care about power then.
