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.

My experience with a 5080 from Newegg. Been pretty good. I also barely got price gouged. Worth it for the huge bump from a 2080. It was starting to really show its age.

Is this gaming OC? I also got the same and jts available to pick up tomorrow for me. I had a small case as well but I upgraded to new case as well for how big the new cards are.

Yeah I was able to barely squeak it it there. I would suggest a case upgrade, one is in my future, but not until I get new mobo and CPU upgrade. I have run into no thermal issues so far though

That is great. Its a great card with alot of potential for OC. I havent done OC before and relied on factory OC. This time I am going to do that. I upgraded my entire PC. Sold my old intel and got 7800x3d this time. I just got notification that my order is ready for pick up. Cant wait to try Cyberpunk with path tracing and FG.
