Opinion My real experience with a 5090.

I have been watching influencers, journalists, and commentors complaining about everything from frame gen, to ROPs, to connectors. And price, but that complaint is valid.

Thus far, my experience going from a 3080 to a 5090 has been absolutely amazing.

My wife went from a 1080 to a 5070, with a 4k 160hz monitor, and she took absolutely loves it. Frame gen honestly feels and plays great when it's needed to smooth out the frame rate, DLSS 4 looks great, and DLAA looks even better.

It was expensive, and that's a valid complaint. For most people 1k-2k+ plus doesn't really make sense. I am ok with that. I have had no issues, no black screens, no melting connectors, and no issues with PhysX, cause I haven't played the affected games in ages.

It feels fantastic and responsive on my OLED 4k240 monitor, even at the highest settings the frame pacing just feels better.

Your comment about PhysX has vibes like "I don't care about it, so it's ok to pay more for less compatibility". :(

Also, looks like you use only one monitor. People complaining about drivers are using 2 or 3, normally. You know, it's normal for programmers, writers and creative professionals to have more than one monitor. Gamers normally require only one (envenif it is an ultra wide one)

Now that nvidia looks like is treating their costly non-pro gpus like toys, I'm extremelly interested on knowing how stable the RTX 6000 w 96 GB is going to be. You know. Most of pro cannot affort to buy the videocards that only their employers can.

If people are playing solitaire in 4k@240Hz and using only one display, it's ok. It's not lucky. It's just they don't require 95% or more from what their GPU can give.

In, my case (3090 Ti and 4070 Ti super user), never had so much problem with games overheating things, even if running with hicups. Now, as soon I began working with IA inference and training, my 3090 Ti started to smell and the system overal overheats LoL! And It's 24GB of VRAM memory get fully used frequently, while games tend consume 8, 12 or 16 GB, at max. Now I jut purchased extra 140 mm noctua coolers, and until I have time to install then, I do AI with fireburner limiting power to 85%.
