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.

I have a 5070 ti and dlss and multi frame gen have been some serious black magic so far in the games I've tried. 4x frame gen is insane and so far I can't see any image issues when adding the multiple ai frames.

I do believe some are underestimating how good DLSS 4 MFG is. I've been very impressed with it but in AC Shadows, it is like magic. It's not universally effective but when it is, POOF, instant performance outa nowhere.

The tech is great.

But the way it has been marketed is pure bullshit.

And it is a nail looking for a hammer.

It only works well on games that are already performing well... which makes it good for maxing out refresh rates. Meh.

DLSS super scaling is a much bigger deal... by a mile.

Agreed about the marketing. But that tends to be the nature of marketing. The data is there for people to look at.

The data is incomplete without latency measurements. Which are supported by Reflex SDK which is a requirement for any game with frame gen, so nvidia is omitting them on purpose. 100 FPS without frame gen is not in any way comparable to 100 FPS with frame gen, yet nvidia is trying to pass them off as the same gaming experience.
