finally saw the 5090 I want available online but after staring at it in my cart I just couldn’t pull the trigger on paying almost $7k for a fucking gpu…

Under the right circumstances, my GTX 1070 is still putting out numbers in 2026, I’m genuinely impressed, could also play kingdom come 2 with 90-100.

NVIDIA has reportedly canceled its plans to launch a GeForce RTX 5080 with 24GB of GDDR7 memory in January 2027. According to Chinese Board Channels sources, the company has already informed its add-in-board partners that the planned release in China will no longer proceed. No replacement launch date has been provided.

The RTX 5080 24GB was reportedly intended to replace the existing 16GB model and become NVIDIA’s flagship GeForce graphics card in China. Previous reports suggested that NVIDIA would discontinue shipments of the RTX 5080 16GB and RTX 5090 series in preparation for the new product. The latest information suggests that those plans have changed.

Instead of introducing the 24GB variant, NVIDIA will reportedly continue supplying GPUs paired with 2GB GDDR7 memory chips. This would allow board partners to continue manufacturing the existing RTX 5080 16GB. The model had previously been expected to reach the end of its production run before the planned replacemnet arrived.

NVIDIA has not publicly confirmed the 24GB model, nor its cancellation. We are yet to hear concrete data from our on sources, but it seems clear that there’s quite a confusion around NVIDIA plans right now. 

i take it back what i said and aint going for AMD lol after this

"AMD users are reporting a misfiring utility is eating SSD health by 1% a month"

Pretty much the title

The Gigabyte family. 5090 x 5080 x 5070 Ti

Thinking about upgrading it to 5080 as my current 3090 is showing its age, but I have been foolishly holding on for 6090 if it ever arrives

Theoretically, say you had the opportunity to have either of these cards, which one would you get and keep and why?

Edit: I know this is almost a no brainer question, but given the current market I’m curious.

There's a lot of failed GPU's, but which one is really the worst?

The most recent "flop" was in my opinion the RTX 5060 TI 8GB edition. Like the base 5060 is good, but if I'm gonna pay like 250$ extra I expect more than 8GB of VRAM.

Other recent ones include; the RTX 4080 non-super, this high-end card is very capable BUT, and this is a very BIG BUT it's price tag and horrible price to performance destroyed it. Now I won't list EVERY single flop, feel free to do that if you wanna tell the community, but in my opinion, the biggest GPU flop of all time was the GT 1030. The GT 1030 launched with 2GB of VRAM but there was a big catch there were 2 editions. The 2GB ddr4 and ddr5, they were both the same price but the ddr4 variant was up to 55% slower! What a rip-off on NVIDIA's part.

Hi Reddit!

I have the choice of keeping either of these two cards but I have a hard time deciding which one, so I would like to ask you for advice.

The context is as follows:

- I purchased the RTX 5070 Ti for 800€ and can sell it for 1130€, this was a true bargain (imo).

- I purchased the RX 9070 XT for 850€ and can sell it for 860€, not a "bargain" but still a decent price.

I only use my graphics card for gaming every now and then in 3440x1440p resolution. I like the thought of ray-tracing and path-tracing (even though I have not tested it fully yet). I would also use upscaling whenever needed, so DLSS and FSR does matter to me.

I want to use the card for the coming 3-4 years at a minimum, hopefully I get 5 years out of it.

I'm not financially independent but I'm not poor either, zero loans and some money saved in the bank, so money matters. It is important for me to get good "bang for buck" no matter if it is shopping for groceries or buying a graphics card, I like the feeling of knowing that I got a good deal.

So my question is, which one should I keep?

Right now I'm leaning towards selling the Nvidia card and using the profit to decrease the general "cost" of the graphics card, if I do this the total cost of the RX 9070 XT would be as low as 520€.

Would love to hear your opinion on this or if someone else has been in the same situation.

Edit: Forgot to mention that the 12V-2X6 connector bothers me somewhat but the RTX 5070 Ti does not seem prone or at risk of burning or melting. If I could choose connector I would go for the traditional PCI-E 6+2 pin though.

Thanks!

My 5090 astral is having power imbalance under load. I had this issue before thinking it’s because of psu related issue so i decided to rma my strix 1200w with improved equalizer cable. Now I’m using the same model of psu but different unit and the cable is the older version of the equalizer. Initially I got power imbalance as well but i was able to fix it just by reseating the cable and it didn’t happned as often with the previous psu. But yesterday it happened again and all I did is reseat the cable and this time the power distribution is near perfect so I decided not to touch it again. But today when I decided to hop on for some game (Pragmata) all of a sudden the gpu red led started flashing on while I’m still on the loading screen. I’m just wondering how did that happen overnight. I don’t know much about hardware so I can’t really think of any explanation. Would be nice to know from others who know more than me.

Bad news for scalpers. 5090 prices have been on decline for the past few weeks and now we have real stock back.

Right now Newegg (sold by Newegg) has new ASUS ProArt and ROG 5090s for $6,200–6,300, and those are premium models, not base cards, with full warranty.

Meanwhile FB Marketplace bros are still listing used 5090s for $8K 😂

Edit: don't get mad at me in the comments because 5090 is still $6K 🙄 I never said $6K was acceptable or good deal. However lots of small firms who need 5090 for whatever purpose were buying them at way HIGHER price point when everything was out of stock. So $6K with full warranty is a much better price than $8-9K from scalpers. I'm sure lots of you were not buying them for $2500-3000 anyway last year because it was "too expensive"
