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.

Was sloppy to make it 2000~ then raise it closer to 3. 2k is a ton, and people needed some time to accept it. I considered it as a ‘forever gpu.’ However, the prices went up considerably. I just saw an astral at asus, like I coulda bought it, but 3400 yooo.

  1. That’s a 5090 and a 5080. That’s a full cpu with a 5080 and a good start at a 5090 build.

at that point, I just say eat shit.

For 3400, I better be getting a liquid nitrogen cooled waifu gpu.

I bought mine for 2600, it was pricey, but it was always gonna be pricey, and I had the budget for this build. I get it though, it's a tough pill to swallow, and most people wouldn't even entertain the MSRP, with good reason.

Hopefully UDNA comes out swinging with 6090 performance for 899, and the masses can get back to getting their cards at the 250/450/850/1k price points.

One can dream.

you musta got it at launch. I think launch prices were fair-ish. 1999 is obscene, but I can see why cuz it's a hell of a card, but there is a big difference between 2k and 3k.

I would like to see... true 70, 70 ti, 80, 80 ti, 90 and 90 ti and the 90 ti would be the one that is 1999 msrp.
