Not what HWU said. It’s on the same Nanometer process as 40 series.

Same process, different architecture.

If that’s the case then they’ve done an Intel when AMD were lagging behind in the CPU game.

There ain’t any uber high end competition tbf.

If rumours are true then Overclockers will have single digit number of cards at launch. Retailers aren’t expecting it to be any better for the first 3 months either.

I’ll be keeping an eye on 4090 prices. I did originally plan a 50xx build to go with the new monitor, but I’m not spending 4-5k to play cod 😂😂😂 maybe if there were an abundance of great games to enjoy, but there isn’t.

There will definitely be a slew of 4080’s and 4090’s for sale as people try to get some money together in the hope of getting a new one.

Can confirm, they actually don’t know how many they’re being allocated yet 😬

Absolutely underwhelmed by the 50 series. My 3070 soldiers on.

If playing at 1440P anything less than a 9800X3D will see CPU throttling

I need to get my trusty old 12700k replaced as it beginning to show its age, particularly in iRacing.

Tbf the current cards offer more than enough at 1440p. A 5090 is only really needed for high fps at 4k, even then it’s all down to the frame gen.
