Quick Update: I just noticed that the RTX5080 FE doesn't use LM and the cooler is indeed a bit different from what GN said. I misunderstood this in Nvidias communication
I think you mean "from what GN said, it is indeed a bit different" - if so you could use a comma between "different" and "from", as right now the meaning is ambiguous and could also mean that GN said something that turned out to be incorrect :)
So you would buy a gpu that is 12% slower and has slower memory and none of the new AI stuff for the exact same price ?😂 I get people don’t like the 5080 but that’s just a stupid statement. Unless u can get a 4080 super for 800$ (you can’t) then the 5080 is the next best thing
@ if is available for MSRP. And it will most likely not be. FE will be very limited and sell fast. We will see tomorrow but I expect that most of available ones will be 1150+ with few MSRP placeholder which will be out of stock for months, some of them will never be available. Is this first GPU launch for you? Btw - all you get is these 12% and MFG. Faster memory? That's part of these 12%, it will not be faster tomorrow because of the new memory type. All "new AI" stuff is supported by last gen except MFG but even 2x is barely usable, from reviews I didn't get impression that something changed with 3x/4x. Even on 5090 with much higher base framerates it was so-so. So yes, if new cards end up being $200 more anyone smart will save that money by buying 4080s.
@@Frankguligan256depends normally the 5080 is going to cost more than the traditionally reduced prices of the prior gen, I mean if you want to buy a 5070ti for 5080 prices you do you
I like how hardware unboxed put it. Frame Gen doesn't increase performance, it makes visual smoother. That's a good distinction to make that I think should be widely adopted.
US$829 after rebates and before VAT in Germany (March 2024) seems like daylight robbery nowadays for a 4080; especially as the 1× fake frames are enough for me and the AI bubble kinda is already bursting.
@ Nope, the 40 series cards are already pretty much gone, Nvidia discontinued them last month, all the stock seems to be gone and you can pretty much only get them from 3rd party scalpers.
Everything is relative. Sure, 10% faster than 4080 super is very lackluster, but its gonna be 110% faster than my 3070, so why should i really care? If the 5080 was faster than it is it would also cost more. Its already at a good price to performance. And yeah, no shit, if you have a 4000-series you obviously shouldnt upgrade.
I did the exact same thing at the exact same price in August 2023. Legendary purchase. If you have hotspot issues, I highly recommend repasting with PTM7950.
Awesome. I got my SAPPHIRE Pulse 7900xtx in October, open box from MC for 764.00 Drove 200 miles round trip and I will say it was worth it. I have a feeling the XTX is going to be sought after and go up in price after it's all said and done.
Why is that a problem? Like, it has the same price as the 4080/4080S had, and its 10/15% better, I dont see any problem here. Great buy if u have a 4070 series card or older gen.
@@CoffeeGameMovieI don't disagree , but I think it should have had the price taken down to $899 at most to make up for the very low uplift - as a new generation. Unless they are planning on launching the 60 series in 18 months time , where the real gen uplifts will be found.
I probably have to accept there will never be another 1080ti and buy something :( edit: looking at all these charts, I think convinced myself to "I'd rather buy 7900xtx instead of rewarding Nvidia 5xxx generation"
Thats me! Will prob be pulling trigger on the 5090 and just play everything maxed out without any worries. Going forward I might just sell every generation instead of waiting 8 years like I did with my 1080ti so that my parts still have decent value and can save more when buying the next generation.
You should wait for the 9070XT benchmarks. So far, from the leaks, it looks like it's a bit slower in performance to the 5080 in raster and 5070 level in RT. It'll probably be good value if it's 549.
I have the feeling that the Nvidia consumer graphics card "team" is no longer a desirable position in the company. It's all about A.I. now. So the best talent is directed in that direction and what we as consumers see is the best efforts of a "B" team that's understaffed, ignored, and demoralized.
@ When they go 100% it will probably crash, lol Data centers are different from A.I. A.I needs more memory that actual raw GPU power anymore. We've had plenty of A.I power, we don't have enough memory for the data storage size for the models. Theres a reason why Nvidia's got a 96Gbs cards coming out. I'm pretty sure their rack mounts are in the terabytes of memory size now.
maybe you want to upgrade from a 30 or a 20 series card or equivalent, the 5080 is roughly the same price as the 4080S was which of course you cannot find anywhere at the release price now
Since the 40 series is no longer made this would be the only nvidia option. That being said, if you're playing anything 1440p and below the only "reasonable" answer for the top tier is 7900xtx.
Ofcourse people will buy them at msrp? They are decently priced for the performance. Sure, if it was 30% faster than the 4080 super it would be awesome, until you realise it would ATLEAST cost 1200usd instead of 1000usd. Im almost happy that the performance is lackluster, because that increases my chances of getting one at MSRP.
Looks like the leaks about 5090 being the best case scenario for generational uplift are becoming true. At this rate 5070 Ti and 5070 are going to be even worse in value.
There is a reason they dropped the MSRP $50 from 40 series...They will probably be 10%-15% better than the 40 series counterpart, which is completely ridiculous! Nvidia decided to stay with the same node they used for the 40 series and they are trying to use Multi Frame-gen to make up the difference...
@@brucepreston3927other than the 5070ti and lower, those msrps are fake, their is only 1 msrp card from msi,asus while all they're other cards start at +$200 from msrp, that means they'll have 1 -5 msrp pieces, while all their other cards will have the majority of the stock, so 99/100 will pay at least $200 more than m s r p
@@brucepreston3927 The MSRP on the founders cards doesn't matter that much, since it appears all the AIB cards are gonna be a lot more expensive this time around, and good luck getting an FE card, I have a feeling they're going to be out of stock all the time.
When the best case value for money means linear scaling vs the "theoretical MSRP" the 5000 series seems a little screwed. Maybe Nvidia will be more aggressive in the midrange since that is where AMD is competing. But there isn't much room between the 4070ti super and 5080. Mark my words, looking at the 5070 it will need some aggressive clocks to surpass the 4070 super.
16:35 - Wait, what ? How is a next gen card that delivers barealy any perf improvement "fine" at the same price the previous card was going for ? Isn't the idea behind technological progress to get significantly more for the same price vs last gen or get the same perf at a significantly lower price ? This is barely a refresh-type of upgrade. If we believe that +10% uplift is fine for +10% higher price, then with each gen we are going to get more and more expensive cards but the price/performance metric is going to stay the same. How is that "fine" ? o_O
Generally because chip technologies are bringing less and less relative improvement every generation, and in this specific case because it's on (more or less) the same node as last generation. They're using X% more silicon consuming X% more power to get X% higher performance. 'Whee'.
ровно то же самое я говорю уже давно, примерно с выхода 3000 серии. единственный правильный пример работы этого вашего "технического прогресса" - это выход Паскалей, когда 1080ти стоила дешевле 980ти и была лучше во всем. а полный издец начался с выхода 2000 серии, когда дурачье схавало лучики и начало его пиарить, тем самым поставив крест на гетеросексуальных гтх-картах! все еще жду выход карты 1690 супер ти. или обновленную серию 2000-х карт: гтх 2065 или гтх 2085)

The PCIe connection is most probably the problem. There are really two things that can cause problems, the length of the signal path and signal contamination depending on the extra connector between the PCIe riser and the actual graphics card. That connector is a lot smaller than the PCIe connector on the motherboard. The pins are tiny and packed closer together. this means the signal quality is likely to suffer. But it's probably also very dependent on the signal quality of the PCIe slot on the motherboard. So these problems might be more common when using some certain make and model of motherboards. So the PCIe "raiser" on the FE cards can be a problem, and it might be different between cards. And the PCIe signal quality of the motherboard might be causing these problems. Someone will surely figure out what is really causing the problems.
I had a similar issue like this on my X79 system when PCIe 3.0 was beta qualified for my Sabertooth board. It took a few BIOS revisions to my the HD7970 play nice, especially when I picked up another one for Crossfire a few months later. PCIe 2.0 was a stability option to use but eventually a few BIOS updates later it worked as expected. Hopefully that's all that is needed here.
Jensen needs to prioritize their higher margin and cash cow AI chips production so they greatly reduce gpu production and raised prices to make up for that reduction...
4080 Super Boost or 4080 Super+ kinda like the 650 Ti Boost. This thing also has the same performance as the 4090 D which should have been called 4080 Ti.
Anyone who got a 4090 near MSRP a couple years ago apparently got something of a deal. What a GPU market. Poor 10 series hangers-on waiting to upgrade and now starting to be between a rock and a hard place.
I can't believe I got a 4090 for $1600 by accident. Seems like a great deal. If I found a 5090 for $2000, and nothing more, I would consider it but even at MSRP 5000 series looks meh.
7900xtx bad for streaming av1 sucks and on twitch this is worst. XTX consums more and bad techs but in raster this is the best GPU for the perf and price.
If I recall correctly, I beleive he got some prop used on sets.. Like some kind of golden head.. Blurry memory sorry Edit: Yeah it was on a video 2y ago!
Bad cooling performance might be due to a cheaper cooler being used, e.g. vapor chamber vs copper plate like they did with the GTX 1080 FE and GTX 1070 FE. And yeah having PCIe Gen 5 running through a flimsy ribbon cable and tiny connector right next to a 100°C heat source is terrifying. Even if it works now, what happens if the tiny contacts start degrading after constant heat cycles?
Thanks for the hint for solving the PCIe Issue. I just got a gigabyte rtx 5080 gaming oc. And it was not work on my Asus ROG X870e motherboard. Changing to the PCI to Gen4 make it run. But the mobo is started to running in a loop showing different Q-Code in the range 30-70. :-| Expect there will pop something up on the internet in the upcoming days if it is related to the RTX 5080.
Been using my base 4080 for 2 years now and am very happy with it. Got it for 980 usd equivalent before taxes. It was 1800 SGD after conversion (1350 USD after 29% taxes)
4080 was terrible price/performance but it was perfect tdp/performance for me, got it late 2023 when the price dropped to MSRP undervolted and capped to 144hz it's usually 200-250W, only CP2077 goes to 270-280W so pretty happy with it 4080S never was 999 in Europe anyway, it was 1150-1250 so pretty much equal to 4080 1199 MSRP and what I paid for mine

In a 4080 + 7800x3d vs a 7800x3d and 5080 situation yes, youll see the same imrpovement. Just dont compare to his 1% because its different due to his R7 9800x3d

Your graphs are very nicely done. That must have taken a lot of work.
@SansAppellation My bad, what I mean is he did the review in Ultra Wide. So if you watch it on an Ultra Wide monitor it takes up the whole monitor instead of having borders on the side like Linus's review.
@@mycosys The 5090 AIB cards will be £2500 or so, you watch. There's no way that's going to be good value, I'm waiting until AMD's next flagship. Nvidia is taking the piss honestly.
@@mirarid Nvidia is taking the piss? Do you not understand that the whole reason why nvidia has been able to do this is because AMD has been terrible on the gpu side they cant even get their drivers right lol
I'm learning that one just can't upgrade with every new generation, and one has to choose very carefully when to upgrade. The RTX40x0 cards featured a new node, and was a great choice in terms of performance per watt. The Intel 13th gen was a good CPU, whilst the current issue is disappointing. Based on DerBauers review, I bought a Inno3D water cooled 4090, and now that seems like a good choice. Super quiet obviously and not a day of trouble.
No surprise that the partner cards built the "normal" way have less issues with PCIe 5 signal integrity than the FE which pretty much has riser built in as you said. And PCIe 5 is way more sensitive to signal integrity, just see how much more expensive/better built are the PCIe 5 risers and U.2 drive adapters vs PCIe 4 or even PCIe 3 ones.
Thanks for the review! Very interesting that the 5th gen PCI-E is causing so many issues. Seems strange that nvidia went for it considering how little there was to gain, but I guess every percentage unit counts when you're doing a minimal performance gain generation. I wasn't expecting there to be this level of issues from the beginning with it, more down the line as the connections and screws get more lax over time etc. Less than two minutes in, and I noticed that you're comparing different cards for % gains (4080 STRIX / 4080 Aorus). I don't think that's very representative, and it seems weirdly lazy to do that. Maybe we'll see later on that both of those cards perform exactly the same? - Edit: no we didn't. Also, there are a lot of unnecessary "NVIDIA FE" texts on the Cyberpunk RT + PT, and SW Outlaws 4K Max charts. Maybe an idea you were playing with but forgot to remove due to being in a hurry? :) Again, thank you for the review and for sharing the struggles, those do matter a lot for anyone considering purchasing these.
Hi Roman, i read your post mentioning you are working on new RTX 5090 waterblocks both for the Asus and Nvidia reference PCBs. Can you bring the gap over the Vram down to 0.5mm to reduce thermal resistence? GDDR7 seem to scale exceptionally well, i guess keeping them at ambient temp could give them an additional boost. Bye.
I bought a gigabyte 5080 gaminc oc and... crash after crash on valorant (that is the game i basically play)! The most i managed to do was a deathmatch... I updated MB bios, installed fresh drivers from nvidia; even re-installed valorant 2 times! Then i remembered i saw this video concerning gen 5 PCIe issues... Just watched your video again! Will check bios config... Very frustrating!
The reviews for the 5080 are if anything making the 7900xt and xtx look good by comparison. At least in anything that doesn't involve a bunch of ray tracing.
The 5080 is literally the worst generational performance improvement of the last decade... maybe even the last 2 decades. The performance is in line with what would be expected of a 70 class gpu. So instead of increasing the price, nvidia shifted the performance tiers again. The 5080 is actually slower than the 4090... For the first time in the last decade the new 80 class cannot beat the previous gen flagship. This is 70 class performance. This is a 600$ GPU for 1000$. I've seen multiple reviews now where even the 7900XTX in some titles actually beats the 5080. That is the 5080 getting smashed by the PREVIOUS GENERATION flagship of the competitor... I would be ashamed if I put out a product this bad for this much money. I'm actually surprised Nvidia hasn't already "unlaunched" this product. Multi framegen is a joke as a feature. On the high end, you don't really need it, on the low end, the use is limited because most of the time your base framerate is too low. There has literally never been a larger gap between the 80 class and flagship gpu. For 1000$ this card should be avoided at all cost
The RTX 5080/5090 will be gone a few minutes after launch as thousands of scalpers would be buying them by the thousands and selling them for $5K+ each
People often compare this to the previous gen, and say it's not worth upgrading... big surprise. However if you were to recommend a High End (1440p) gaming card right now for a completely new build, which would you recommend? The 5080 doesn't seem a bad purchase today, especially if the new frame gen and other features get good support in the future.
Another great review, and another nail in the coffin for PCIe 5 having any use or benefit whatsoever on consumer platforms. All it does is drive up prices. Yay, my box has a higher number on it, and my SSD can wow me with benchmark numbers with zero real world benefit, wooo! Such wow, much excite. Just another sign of how the tech industry has been slowing down in the past decade or so (which, to be clear, isn't a bad thing it's just how things go as technologies mature and markets saturate), and how desperate they are to force a continuation of their previous levels of growth. This, crypto, NFTs, VR, AR, AI, none of it is the panacea that the industry wants or wanted them to be. And no new idea will be.
I encourage you guys to watch frame chasers video he put up today. Blackwell overclocks way better than ada. With less voltage it goes to 3300 mhz and shows almost 4090 oc performance once you do so. Take everything with a grain of salt. Blackwell is better architecture, faster clock speeds, faster ram, and faster bus speeds. firmware hasn't been optimized yet, but when it does, it's gonna be much better than these entry tests that are base tests.
Uhuh and how much of the population that buys these GPUs bothers with extreme OCing ? And as the other guy said, wonder what could be the reason for having such large headroom, definitely not for a Super refresh 12 months later.
Yeah they removed the hotspot sensor in the 50 series for some reason, so right now the software is picking up a null signal. Should be an update to remove that metric from 50 series cards soon (it's in beta)
I upgraded to a 4070Ti Super when my old 1080 could barely run FF16, a game I had been looking forward to for a while. I felt a bit of buyer's remorse in the last month or two, thinking maybe I should have been patient and waited for the 5000 series. Nowadays, I don't feel so bad lol
i would hypothesize that this is caused by the weird built-in pcie "adapter" that plugs in to the pcb. whether its a physical contact/seating issue, internal pcb flexion, or just the break in the traces for the connector...something is degrading the signal integrity
If the starting fps isn’t at a playable level then multi frame generation isn’t going to fix that. Frame generation is the equivalent of resolution upscaling but for frame rate so you can consistently hit the display’s refresh rate when it doesn’t have VRR.
Honestly, I'm almost glad it's not so much of an improvement. As somebody who's looking to upgrade from my hot and loud 3080Ti to 5000 series, it seems like I won't have a ton of competition from people looking to upgrade from their 4000 series cards - and that should hopefully keep the prices down somewhat. Not holding my breath for picking on up at MSRP any time soon, but I can dream.
Same situation for me. MY 3080 Ti is already gone, so I need one of these one way or another, but I'm not paying over MSRP, and I'm sure as heck not paying over what the 4080 Super was at $999. The 5080 is not impressive.
14:59 360 and 575 watts is with the vram, and both cards don't have the same amount. So you can't do this simple division You have to substract memory power first
Looking to upgrade from a 1060 and my local microcenter has had people camping for 4 days now. It's the day before launch. All I can do is be prepared and fight like hell. lol
For me who use GPUs for AI workloads, the only advantage of this new gen is the 32GB VRAM of 5090 vs 24GB from 4090. And that’s about it. I’ll be sticking with my 4090, maybe I’ll upgrade in the next gen if they offer something with real value.
how can you justify price increases based on pure performance gains? Where are the days of generational improvements at the same/marginally higher price?
I have 2070s. I was going to build new rig with 5080... Going to re-evaluate my options and wait for amd. Let's hope they deliver!!! I have my doubts with them too 😢 don't want to spend on 5090
In neighboring stores, the price of the 4080 and super versions has jumped to $1750, and judging by rumors, they will charge $2500+ for the 5080. It seems to me that it is now cheaper to come to the USA, buy a video card and go back than to buy it in local stores.
@@Slizzo82 There are monitor sites that track prices. They show that the price jump occurred within a week after the presentation of new video cards, approximately the date from 01/13/2025
To be able split 8x 5.0 for graphics card and 8x 4.0 for fast NIC on AM5 was only reason for me to buy. May be models from AIB partners will be better.
In that side by side comparison at 13:30 are those max power readings right???? 855w for the 5080 and 2057w for the 5090????? WTF, tell me those are some sort or sofware error and not real transient spikes.... Or maybe I'm misinterpreting the readings and that is not the actual power drawn.
I also had a poblem with some 8x pcix gpus like 4060 ti... that was not recognized by the mb when in bios the lanes was set to auto. I had to set it to 8x + 8x to get it recognised ... The coincidence is that it was an amd am5 mobo.
MFG never overlaps with any actual benefit on the Venn diagram. I feel like people are just confused and it really shouldn't be a variable in any consideration or benchmark.
surprise surprise, the Motherboards vendors lied about Gen5 support. While technically it can do, but the traces are to long and causing signal loss. We saw the same problem with Gen4. The higher the bandwidth, the shorter those traces have to be. I bet any ITX would be okay though :)
@@WayStedYouthis was my prediction as well they under engineered the shit out of the card but the external extremities are bleeding edge and potentially barely tested especially pie 5.0 tech I mean good on the pcb and electrical engineers designing something like this but holy hell these cards have numerous weak points for consumers to deal with…
Quick question for anyone who knows. IF the GPU TDP is 500W are we really dissipating 500W of heat? I don't think that can be true. If it were true the card would be totally inefficient. If I understand correctly the heat dissipated by the card cannot be 500W it must be lower if the card is actually using some of the power to actually do the work. So the heat that is dissipated is waste heat from it being inefficient. So how much power is it actually using to do work and how much power is just wasted as heat?
SOOOO happy i bought a 4090. Got 2 years of the worlds best card, and now i get at least 2 more years of the world's 2nd best card and all for 1400 which isn't bad spread over 4-5 years.
NVIDIA fai. The proof is in the fact the partner cards don’t have the problem. I can see the future. I seen a lot of 50 series founders failing prematurely due to the pcb extension slot.
The crashes remind me of when i bought a 7900xt, oh boy that thing had issues on launch everything from bluescreens, no display output, to not being detected in device manager.
It seems nvidia love to have troubles with cables, and lthus complicate things that always worked. I guess they never heard the: "if its working, dont try to fix it". Good thing theres not a lot of stock for this crap, that way less people will have this issues. Thank you for your honest opinion!
What's going on Nvidia's buggy drivers for RTX 5000 series? Jay had problems. GN couldn't get Cyberpunk to run. Paul's Hardware problems were so bad that they didn't even have testing, just metareview of other channel reviews.
Is the 50 series more optimized towards the Transformer DLSS model? Because on my 4090 Transformer uses more power compared to CNN, worth about one step on the quality slider in CP77. So Transformer Performance eats about the power of CNN Quality.
@b127_1 Whatever happens under the hood, the new model uses as much power as the old model at 1 step higher quality. And the new model currently introduces very serious (dithering?) noise in some parts.
it seems that there is no specific optimisation for the Transformer model. And the new model is about 4-5% slower than the older one. at least it looks better.
@@mariuspuiu9555 Whether it looks better had to be compared based on its performance/power usage. Currently it seems to me like I have to compare Transformer to CNN by pushing CNN's quality slider 1 step higher!?
The problem is you _can't_ get 4080 supers anymore. They're all well over MSRP because stock has dried up, and even _used_ cards are still going for new MSRP or higher which is ridiculous. If you wanted this performance at this price you needed to already buy the 4080s or hope you can get a 5080 for MSRP like that's going to happen.
@der8auer-en Having the same motherboard (X870E Hero) and seeing you having Bios 9945 in yours. Can't find that bios and never saw it on Asus support page for the mb. What is it? Some kind of "special" bios?
Can't wait untill they start making it blatant and just release cards with the same exact performance as a previous iteration but tack on a mystery technology that you don't need or more fake frames.
Hopefully the price don’t increase next gen again or less performance gain think is gg to gaming now isn’t that same no more like before just going to keep my 4090 for ever
so what i have been thinking is what if the connection between the pci and board of the 4080 has some drop out. and with them makeing the bus lower than the 5090 is what is causing it. cause if the 5090 is not having an issue but the 5080 is haveing issues then what has changed everything is their but the bus speed.
Quick Update: I just noticed that the RTX5080 FE doesn't use LM and the cooler is indeed a bit different from what GN said. I misunderstood this in Nvidias communication
FYI GN isn’t always accurate
I think you mean "from what GN said, it is indeed a bit different" - if so you could use a comma between "different" and "from", as right now the meaning is ambiguous and could also mean that GN said something that turned out to be incorrect :)
I doubt gn would say it's not liquid metal and open it to check before declaring such a statement
@@itsuadmanSteve explicitly said the 5080 doesn't have LM, and that it has some changes on the cooler, OP is probably just missing a comma there.
So can you confirm that moving to PCIe 4.0 has made it fully stable, or did you see issues at 4.0 too?
Nvidia has already taken care of that "you can just buy 4080s instead" advice and removed them from the market a month ago.
There are a couple on Amazon for insane prices.

That's a good distinction to make that I think should be widely adopted.
considering the variety of reviews and games w/in those reviews, I would agree for the most part.
In fact, it can make performance worse if you cap FPS to your monitors max (like 120 or 165, not so much for 240 models).

US$829 after rebates and before VAT in Germany (March 2024) seems like daylight robbery nowadays for a 4080; especially as the 1× fake frames are enough for me and the AI bubble kinda is already bursting.
Its more smart to buy after 5xxx series launch.
4080S seems great value atm

1) availability
2) tariffs
@ Nope, the 40 series cards are already pretty much gone, Nvidia discontinued them last month, all the stock seems to be gone and you can pretty much only get them from 3rd party scalpers.
Thumbs up for honest reviews. I'm definitely having second thoughts on 5080 after seeing the data today. It just doesn't seem so great.
This gen looks like a big skip. Without a node shrink or real architectural overhaul the gains are just not here, 5090 included.
Depends what you are coming from. Lol awkward. If you have a 4080 or 4080s this card was never for you anyway. Lol
Roman and gamers nexus do some of the best reviews and both are not impressed at all.
Don't worry, Jensen said the 5070 is the fast card.
Everything is relative. Sure, 10% faster than 4080 super is very lackluster, but its gonna be 110% faster than my 3070, so why should i really care? If the 5080 was faster than it is it would also cost more. Its already at a good price to performance. And yeah, no shit, if you have a 4000-series you obviously shouldnt upgrade.
Just picked up a 7900xtx open box from microcenter for $720. Looks like that was a deal. Passed 30+ people camping out for 5000 series
I did the exact same thing at the exact same price in August 2023. Legendary purchase. If you have hotspot issues, I highly recommend repasting with PTM7950.
Micro Center is the GOAT
Xtx still has issues with some game engines..
@@GlennsHardWired 7900 XTX is my first AMD GPU and most stable GPU I ever owned.
Awesome. I got my SAPPHIRE Pulse 7900xtx in October, open box from MC for 764.00 Drove 200 miles round trip and I will say it was worth it.
I have a feeling the XTX is going to be sought after and go up in price after it's all said and done.
this is why they discontinued the older 40x0 sereis cards to force us to buy this crap
crap is right
Why is that a problem? Like, it has the same price as the 4080/4080S had, and its 10/15% better, I dont see any problem here. Great buy if u have a 4070 series card or older gen.
@@CoffeeGameMovie because those older 40x0 cards would be more than 10-15% cheaper new.
@ cause it’s a new generation not a ti launch and it’s garbage
@@CoffeeGameMovieI don't disagree , but I think it should have had the price taken down to $899 at most to make up for the very low uplift - as a new generation. Unless they are planning on launching the 60 series in 18 months time , where the real gen uplifts will be found.
The PCIe 5 issues are very interesting. Well done for investigating those in detail.
I probably have to accept there will never be another 1080ti and buy something :(
edit: looking at all these charts, I think convinced myself to "I'd rather buy 7900xtx instead of rewarding Nvidia 5xxx generation"
Thats me! Will prob be pulling trigger on the 5090 and just play everything maxed out without any worries. Going forward I might just sell every generation instead of waiting 8 years like I did with my 1080ti so that my parts still have decent value and can save more when buying the next generation.
@@saiyaman9000 No, that isnt you.
You should wait for the 9070XT benchmarks. So far, from the leaks, it looks like it's a bit slower in performance to the 5080 in raster and 5070 level in RT. It'll probably be good value if it's 549.

@@TheDeeGeeNL dude there are only a few titles requiring RT and everything else is literally rasterization, I wouldn't call it a dying breed...
I have the feeling that the Nvidia consumer graphics card "team" is no longer a desirable position in the company. It's all about A.I. now. So the best talent is directed in that direction and what we as consumers see is the best efforts of a "B" team that's understaffed, ignored, and demoralized.
Compared to 2019, AI now accounts for 78% (from 25%) of Nvidia's revenue while gaming only 17% (from 53%).

Nvidia will learn later one day.
Do you think data center profits are going anywhere? lol I'd put that much in ai too if I was the cutting edge tech leader atm
@ When they go 100% it will probably crash, lol Data centers are different from A.I. A.I needs more memory that actual raw GPU power anymore. We've had plenty of A.I power, we don't have enough memory for the data storage size for the models. Theres a reason why Nvidia's got a 96Gbs cards coming out. I'm pretty sure their rack mounts are in the terabytes of memory size now.
I hope that Deepseek will make them reconsider
I hope scalpers get these cards and get stuck with them because I can't see people even wanting to buy these at msrp 😂😂😂
maybe you want to upgrade from a 30 or a 20 series card or equivalent, the 5080 is roughly the same price as the 4080S was which of course you cannot find anywhere at the release price now
Since the 40 series is no longer made this would be the only nvidia option. That being said, if you're playing anything 1440p and below the only "reasonable" answer for the top tier is 7900xtx.
Ofcourse people will buy them at msrp? They are decently priced for the performance. Sure, if it was 30% faster than the 4080 super it would be awesome, until you realise it would ATLEAST cost 1200usd instead of 1000usd. Im almost happy that the performance is lackluster, because that increases my chances of getting one at MSRP.
@@garypinholster1962 thats delusional. DLSS is still extremely worth it at 1440p.
Super easy to sell it to EU for big profit.
Looks like the leaks about 5090 being the best case scenario for generational uplift are becoming true. At this rate 5070 Ti and 5070 are going to be even worse in value.
1day Review too on 5070.. says all
There is a reason they dropped the MSRP $50 from 40 series...They will probably be 10%-15% better than the 40 series counterpart, which is completely ridiculous! Nvidia decided to stay with the same node they used for the 40 series and they are trying to use Multi Frame-gen to make up the difference...
@@brucepreston3927other than the 5070ti and lower, those msrps are fake, their is only 1 msrp card from msi,asus while all they're other cards start at +$200 from msrp, that means they'll have 1 -5 msrp pieces, while all their other cards will have the majority of the stock,
so 99/100 will pay at least $200 more than m s r p
@@brucepreston3927 The MSRP on the founders cards doesn't matter that much, since it appears all the AIB cards are gonna be a lot more expensive this time around, and good luck getting an FE card, I have a feeling they're going to be out of stock all the time.
When the best case value for money means linear scaling vs the "theoretical MSRP" the 5000 series seems a little screwed.
Maybe Nvidia will be more aggressive in the midrange since that is where AMD is competing. But there isn't much room between the 4070ti super and 5080.
Mark my words, looking at the 5070 it will need some aggressive clocks to surpass the 4070 super.
16:35 - Wait, what ? How is a next gen card that delivers barealy any perf improvement "fine" at the same price the previous card was going for ? Isn't the idea behind technological progress to get significantly more for the same price vs last gen or get the same perf at a significantly lower price ? This is barely a refresh-type of upgrade. If we believe that +10% uplift is fine for +10% higher price, then with each gen we are going to get more and more expensive cards but the price/performance metric is going to stay the same. How is that "fine" ? o_O
Generally because chip technologies are bringing less and less relative improvement every generation, and in this specific case because it's on (more or less) the same node as last generation. They're using X% more silicon consuming X% more power to get X% higher performance. 'Whee'.
@@RN1441 Only because these companies are chasing the next bubble instead of throwing large amounts of capital at innovation.
Nvidia has milked each generation more and more over time. Being super rich is not enough for CEOs these days. They want unlimited money.

Thanks!💯
We finally got the 4080 Ti.
The PCIe connection is most probably the problem. There are really two things that can cause problems, the length of the signal path and signal contamination depending on the extra connector between the PCIe riser and the actual graphics card. That connector is a lot smaller than the PCIe connector on the motherboard. The pins are tiny and packed closer together. this means the signal quality is likely to suffer. But it's probably also very dependent on the signal quality of the PCIe slot on the motherboard. So these problems might be more common when using some certain make and model of motherboards. So the PCIe "raiser" on the FE cards can be a problem, and it might be different between cards. And the PCIe signal quality of the motherboard might be causing these problems. Someone will surely figure out what is really causing the problems.
I had a similar issue like this on my X79 system when PCIe 3.0 was beta qualified for my Sabertooth board. It took a few BIOS revisions to my the HD7970 play nice, especially when I picked up another one for Crossfire a few months later. PCIe 2.0 was a stability option to use but eventually a few BIOS updates later it worked as expected. Hopefully that's all that is needed here.
If you want to go the extra mile, you can use the PCIe adapter from the 5090 on the 5080 (if they are the same) to see if the issue persists.
Jensen needs to prioritize their higher margin and cash cow AI chips production so they greatly reduce gpu production and raised prices to make up for that reduction...
It does not even deserve to be called a Ti
4080 Super Boost or 4080 Super+ kinda like the 650 Ti Boost. This thing also has the same performance as the 4090 D which should have been called 4080 Ti.
its 4080 MFG edition
Anyone who got a 4090 near MSRP a couple years ago apparently got something of a deal. What a GPU market. Poor 10 series hangers-on waiting to upgrade and now starting to be between a rock and a hard place.
They had their chance to upgrade and chose not to
Going from 10 series to any 40 or 50 series is a huge upgrade
I can't believe I got a 4090 for $1600 by accident. Seems like a great deal. If I found a 5090 for $2000, and nothing more, I would consider it but even at MSRP 5000 series looks meh.
Great review, again!!! Thank you!

Bad cooling performance might be due to a cheaper cooler being used, e.g. vapor chamber vs copper plate like they did with the GTX 1080 FE and GTX 1070 FE.
And yeah having PCIe Gen 5 running through a flimsy ribbon cable and tiny connector right next to a 100°C heat source is terrifying. Even if it works now, what happens if the tiny contacts start degrading after constant heat cycles?
Possible damage during transport to the internal “riser” for the PCI-E issue?
Thanks for the hint for solving the PCIe Issue. I just got a gigabyte rtx 5080 gaming oc. And it was not work on my Asus ROG X870e motherboard. Changing to the PCI to Gen4 make it run.
But the mobo is started to running in a loop showing different Q-Code in the range 30-70. :-| Expect there will pop something up on the internet in the upcoming days if it is related to the RTX 5080.
Been using my base 4080 for 2 years now and am very happy with it.
Got it for 980 usd equivalent before taxes.
It was 1800 SGD after conversion (1350 USD after 29% taxes)
4080 was terrible price/performance but it was perfect tdp/performance for me, got it late 2023 when the price dropped to MSRP

I'm learning that one just can't upgrade with every new generation, and one has to choose very carefully when to upgrade. The RTX40x0 cards featured a new node, and was a great choice in terms of performance per watt. The Intel 13th gen was a good CPU, whilst the current issue is disappointing. Based on DerBauers review, I bought a Inno3D water cooled 4090, and now that seems like a good choice. Super quiet obviously and not a day of trouble.
Well I am glad you learned that lesson, now remember you need to apply that to EVERYTHING in life.
The grass is not always greener on the other side.
You have to skip a generation if you are always going high end. If you buy every generation, your gains aren't worth it.
Yes and the 4090 is so efficient. I could upgrade but the efficiency on the 50 series just isnt there. My setup pulls such little power and heat
Been upgrading from flagship to flagship for decades. The RTX50 is the first time Im not bothering, its pure nonsense.
No surprise that the partner cards built the "normal" way have less issues with PCIe 5 signal integrity than the FE which pretty much has riser built in as you said. And PCIe 5 is way more sensitive to signal integrity, just see how much more expensive/better built are the PCIe 5 risers and U.2 drive adapters vs PCIe 4 or even PCIe 3 ones.
Thanks for the review!
Very interesting that the 5th gen PCI-E is causing so many issues. Seems strange that nvidia went for it considering how little there was to gain, but I guess every percentage unit counts when you're doing a minimal performance gain generation. I wasn't expecting there to be this level of issues from the beginning with it, more down the line as the connections and screws get more lax over time etc.
Less than two minutes in, and I noticed that you're comparing different cards for % gains (4080 STRIX / 4080 Aorus). I don't think that's very representative, and it seems weirdly lazy to do that. Maybe we'll see later on that both of those cards perform exactly the same? - Edit: no we didn't.
Also, there are a lot of unnecessary "NVIDIA FE" texts on the Cyberpunk RT + PT, and SW Outlaws 4K Max charts. Maybe an idea you were playing with but forgot to remove due to being in a hurry? :)
Again, thank you for the review and for sharing the struggles, those do matter a lot for anyone considering purchasing these.
Yeah I remember Jay's 5090 review video. There was a comment about pcie signalling and the 2nd pcb
Great video,We appreciate all your hard work !! Can you do also 1080p? more interest in pubg low settings
Hi Roman, i read your post mentioning you are working on new RTX 5090 waterblocks both for the Asus and Nvidia reference PCBs. Can you bring the gap over the Vram down to 0.5mm to reduce thermal resistence? GDDR7 seem to scale exceptionally well, i guess keeping them at ambient temp could give them an additional boost. Bye.
After buying my 4080S last Dec, this is great. 😅
I bought a gigabyte 5080 gaminc oc and... crash after crash on valorant (that is the game i basically play)! The most i managed to do was a deathmatch... I updated MB bios, installed fresh drivers from nvidia; even re-installed valorant 2 times! Then i remembered i saw this video concerning gen 5 PCIe issues... Just watched your video again! Will check bios config... Very frustrating!
I've got the same problem with Gainward phantom 5080. Freezing and crashing while gaming. Switching to pcie4 didn't help in my case
Thanks for the real review 👍
The reviews for the 5080 are if anything making the 7900xt and xtx look good by comparison. At least in anything that doesn't involve a bunch of ray tracing.
too late for that i started lookin for one after a few reviews the 7900 xtx around price and more
The 5080 is literally the worst generational performance improvement of the last decade... maybe even the last 2 decades. The performance is in line with what would be expected of a 70 class gpu. So instead of increasing the price, nvidia shifted the performance tiers again.
The 5080 is actually slower than the 4090... For the first time in the last decade the new 80 class cannot beat the previous gen flagship. This is 70 class performance. This is a 600$ GPU for 1000$.
I've seen multiple reviews now where even the 7900XTX in some titles actually beats the 5080. That is the 5080 getting smashed by the PREVIOUS GENERATION flagship of the competitor... I would be ashamed if I put out a product this bad for this much money. I'm actually surprised Nvidia hasn't already "unlaunched" this product.
Multi framegen is a joke as a feature. On the high end, you don't really need it, on the low end, the use is limited because most of the time your base framerate is too low.
There has literally never been a larger gap between the 80 class and flagship gpu. For 1000$ this card should be avoided at all cost
Buying a RX 6700 XT made so much sense for me 1 year after launch. It's still a solid mid range card on Linux.
The RTX 5080/5090 will be gone a few minutes after launch as thousands of scalpers would be buying them by the thousands and selling them for $5K+ each
People often compare this to the previous gen, and say it's not worth upgrading... big surprise. However if you were to recommend a High End (1440p) gaming card right now for a completely new build, which would you recommend? The 5080 doesn't seem a bad purchase today, especially if the new frame gen and other features get good support in the future.
Another great review, and another nail in the coffin for PCIe 5 having any use or benefit whatsoever on consumer platforms. All it does is drive up prices. Yay, my box has a higher number on it, and my SSD can wow me with benchmark numbers with zero real world benefit, wooo! Such wow, much excite. Just another sign of how the tech industry has been slowing down in the past decade or so (which, to be clear, isn't a bad thing it's just how things go as technologies mature and markets saturate), and how desperate they are to force a continuation of their previous levels of growth. This, crypto, NFTs, VR, AR, AI, none of it is the panacea that the industry wants or wanted them to be. And no new idea will be.
I encourage you guys to watch frame chasers video he put up today. Blackwell overclocks way better than ada. With less voltage it goes to 3300 mhz and shows almost 4090 oc performance once you do so. Take everything with a grain of salt. Blackwell is better architecture, faster clock speeds, faster ram, and faster bus speeds. firmware hasn't been optimized yet, but when it does, it's gonna be much better than these entry tests that are base tests.
U need to think why they leave that clock headroom in the gpu?
Uhuh and how much of the population that buys these GPUs bothers with extreme OCing ? And as the other guy said, wonder what could be the reason for having such large headroom, definitely not for a Super refresh 12 months later.
Did that hotspot temp say 255C?
Yeah they removed the hotspot sensor in the 50 series for some reason, so right now the software is picking up a null signal. Should be an update to remove that metric from 50 series cards soon (it's in beta)
I upgraded to a 4070Ti Super when my old 1080 could barely run FF16, a game I had been looking forward to for a while. I felt a bit of buyer's remorse in the last month or two, thinking maybe I should have been patient and waited for the 5000 series. Nowadays, I don't feel so bad lol
i would hypothesize that this is caused by the weird built-in pcie "adapter" that plugs in to the pcb. whether its a physical contact/seating issue, internal pcb flexion, or just the break in the traces for the connector...something is degrading the signal integrity
If the starting fps isn’t at a playable level then multi frame generation isn’t going to fix that. Frame generation is the equivalent of resolution upscaling but for frame rate so you can consistently hit the display’s refresh rate when it doesn’t have VRR.
but almost all monitors have gsync or freesync these days
RX 9070 XT for me, depending on price?
Start to seems that 9070XT is good buy at $750…
So lets see…
Because most AIB versions of 5070ti will be close $999…
I hope it will f' up the 5080, but we know AMD, its prob. not gonna kick its ass
I am very happy with my 4090. Not planning on switching anytime soon!
Thankyou for providing PUBG benchmarks! PUBG has a big player base and rarely makes peoples benchmark charts anymore.
Have you tried using an intel setup using pcie5.0? to see if it has the same problems?
Or just not an Asus board...
Honestly, I'm almost glad it's not so much of an improvement. As somebody who's looking to upgrade from my hot and loud 3080Ti to 5000 series, it seems like I won't have a ton of competition from people looking to upgrade from their 4000 series cards - and that should hopefully keep the prices down somewhat. Not holding my breath for picking on up at MSRP any time soon, but I can dream.
Same situation for me. MY 3080 Ti is already gone, so I need one of these one way or another, but I'm not paying over MSRP, and I'm sure as heck not paying over what the 4080 Super was at $999. The 5080 is not impressive.
they arent going to have stock i feel so it will have huge price increases
14:59 360 and 575 watts is with the vram, and both cards don't have the same amount. So you can't do this simple division
You have to substract memory power first
both Bestbuy and Canada computers didn't get any stock here in Canada
Looking to upgrade from a 1060 and my local microcenter has had people camping for 4 days now. It's the day before launch. All I can do is be prepared and fight like hell. lol
11:56 Im pretty sure GN reported theyre not the same and the 80 uses regular paste, not liquid metal
You are 100% correct!
For me who use GPUs for AI workloads, the only advantage of this new gen is the 32GB VRAM of 5090 vs 24GB from 4090. And that’s about it. I’ll be sticking with my 4090, maybe I’ll upgrade in the next gen if they offer something with real value.
how can you justify price increases based on pure performance gains? Where are the days of generational improvements at the same/marginally higher price?
I have 2070s. I was going to build new rig with 5080... Going to re-evaluate my options and wait for amd. Let's hope they deliver!!! I have my doubts with them too 😢 don't want to spend on 5090
Interesting...so I want to see if AIB cards have this gen 5 pcie issues... could be the FE design of the pcie slot
This gen of Nvidia GPU's is pretty much a joke, but their fanbase will probably defend and buy them anyway, sadly.
In neighboring stores, the price of the 4080 and super versions has jumped to $1750, and judging by rumors, they will charge $2500+ for the 5080. It seems to me that it is now cheaper to come to the USA, buy a video card and go back than to buy it in local stores.
4080 super has been out of production for months now, that's why their prices have climbed steadily since that happened.
@@Slizzo82 There are monitor sites that track prices. They show that the price jump occurred within a week after the presentation of new video cards, approximately the date from 01/13/2025
To be able split 8x 5.0 for graphics card and 8x 4.0 for fast NIC on AM5 was only reason for me to buy. May be models from AIB partners will be better.
In that side by side comparison at 13:30 are those max power readings right???? 855w for the 5080 and 2057w for the 5090????? WTF, tell me those are some sort or sofware error and not real transient spikes.... Or maybe I'm misinterpreting the readings and that is not the actual power drawn.
I also had a poblem with some 8x pcix gpus like 4060 ti... that was not recognized by the mb when in bios the lanes was set to auto. I had to set it to 8x + 8x to get it recognised ... The coincidence is that it was an amd am5 mobo.
MFG never overlaps with any actual benefit on the Venn diagram. I feel like people are just confused and it really shouldn't be a variable in any consideration or benchmark.
Wo genau kommen die 389 Watt Stromverbrauch beim Cyberpunk Raster Test her? Die 7900XTX zieht auf Stock nur 350, 389 ist doch PL+15%, nicht Stock.
surprise surprise, the Motherboards vendors lied about Gen5 support. While technically it can do, but the traces are to long and causing signal loss. We saw the same problem with Gen4. The higher the bandwidth, the shorter those traces have to be. I bet any ITX would be okay though :)
Knowing nvidia its their multiple pcb acting like a shoddy pcie riser causing this
@@WayStedYouthis was my prediction as well they under engineered the shit out of the card but the external extremities are bleeding edge and potentially barely tested especially pie 5.0 tech I mean good on the pcb and electrical engineers designing something like this but holy hell these cards have numerous weak points for consumers to deal with…
ITX would be okay, but a lot of cases feature a sandwhich layout and thus a riser. You can get around it using a retimer card, but expensive.
@@WayStedYou that is part of it. But really its the motherboard at fault with the traces already past 4 inches. Which is the maximum length it can be.
Quick question for anyone who knows. IF the GPU TDP is 500W are we really dissipating 500W of heat? I don't think that can be true. If it were true the card would be totally inefficient. If I understand correctly the heat dissipated by the card cannot be 500W it must be lower if the card is actually using some of the power to actually do the work. So the heat that is dissipated is waste heat from it being inefficient. So how much power is it actually using to do work and how much power is just wasted as heat?
I already know before the launch, 5080 is just a 5070 rename, Nvidia "Unlaunch" the real 5080 again.
great video! thank you :)
So rtx 5000 is just a refresh gen? Seems fine if someone upgrades from something old (if for unscalped price of course)
I thought for sure this would be the generation I upgrade my 1080 ti, but I still don't see a need to with these results.
"you can get" I hear you say it, but I spent 5 hours at microcenter to realize the manager let people camp in tents despite saying he wouldn't.
Is the latency significantly lower on newer PCIE gens? Or is it mostly just throughput that's increasing?
SOOOO happy i bought a 4090. Got 2 years of the worlds best card, and now i get at least 2 more years of the world's 2nd best card and all for 1400 which isn't bad spread over 4-5 years.
NVIDIA fai. The proof is in the fact the partner cards don’t have the problem. I can see the future. I seen a lot of 50 series founders failing prematurely due to the pcb extension slot.
The crashes remind me of when i bought a 7900xt, oh boy that thing had issues on launch everything from bluescreens, no display output, to not being detected in device manager.
It seems nvidia love to have troubles with cables, and lthus complicate things that always worked. I guess they never heard the: "if its working, dont try to fix it".
Good thing theres not a lot of stock for this crap, that way less people will have this issues.
Thank you for your honest opinion!
What's going on Nvidia's buggy drivers for RTX 5000 series? Jay had problems. GN couldn't get Cyberpunk to run. Paul's Hardware problems were so bad that they didn't even have testing, just metareview of other channel reviews.
how bad are the vram temps going to be on the 5090 fe inside of a case. typically we see better temps on an open air test bench right?
Ngreedia has removed/blocked access to the vram hotspot temp so programs cant read it.
These cards could have been made with a firmware update. All they had to do was allow a little more room to OC the 40 series cards.
Is there still a 2% performance hit using Pcie 4 on the RTX 5080 or is it lower/higher?
Is the 50 series more optimized towards the Transformer DLSS model? Because on my 4090 Transformer uses more power compared to CNN, worth about one step on the quality slider in CP77. So Transformer Performance eats about the power of CNN Quality.
I wouldn't be surprised if the new model simply uses the tensor hardware more.
@b127_1 Whatever happens under the hood, the new model uses as much power as the old model at 1 step higher quality. And the new model currently introduces very serious (dithering?) noise in some parts.
it seems that there is no specific optimisation for the Transformer model. And the new model is about 4-5% slower than the older one. at least it looks better.
@@mariuspuiu9555 Whether it looks better had to be compared based on its performance/power usage. Currently it seems to me like I have to compare Transformer to CNN by pushing CNN's quality slider 1 step higher!?
Transformer uses a different part of the card than CNN does. That is why you see the difference in power
The problem is you _can't_ get 4080 supers anymore. They're all well over MSRP because stock has dried up, and even _used_ cards are still going for new MSRP or higher which is ridiculous. If you wanted this performance at this price you needed to already buy the 4080s or hope you can get a 5080 for MSRP like that's going to happen.
Is RTX5080 actually 40% faster than RTX3080 or RTX5080 has worse price/performance ratio than 4 years old card?
@der8auer-en
Having the same motherboard (X870E Hero) and seeing you having Bios 9945 in yours. Can't find that bios and never saw it on Asus support page for the mb. What is it? Some kind of "special" bios?
Hey Derbaur. Will you be testing Spider-Man 2? It comes out on PC tomorrow.
Can't wait untill they start making it blatant and just release cards with the same exact performance as a previous iteration but tack on a mystery technology that you don't need or more fake frames.
Damn it, maybe next gen will be worth buying
Hopefully the price don’t increase next gen again or less performance gain think is gg to gaming now isn’t that same no more like before just going to keep my 4090 for ever
so what i have been thinking is what if the connection between the pci and board of the 4080 has some drop out. and with them makeing the bus lower than the 5090 is what is causing it. cause if the 5090 is not having an issue but the 5080 is haveing issues then what has changed everything is their but the bus speed.
Is this the first time x80 class is outperformed by previous generation's x90/titan class of product?
I recently built my first pc keeping in mind the rtx 5000 for 4k gaming, should i still go with this?
