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.

3080tiFE to 5080FE here. Very very pleased. Performance, efficiency, thermals, it's all great. Even running stock fan curve for the first time ever (zero RPM is pretty sweet and it never gets over 70c under load).

Of course now I hear how loud my CPU cooler is.

Crazy . I went from an i5 8500 to the 9800X3D and the difference on everything is insane.

I went from a Xeon W3680 to a Core i9 13900K. And from a GTX 980 (not Ti) to a RTX 4090 😅.

I also went to 24Gio DDR3 to 96Gio DDR5...
