Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series Blackwell reviews

I mean, is that something y'all are interested in seeing more of?

I'll benchmark my 4090 and a 5090 n my i7-3930k if you want, after I get a 5090 :D

It would be interesting IMO. Don't want to waste your time if it's too much trouble but I bet many modern games will run fine on that CPU if you're good with 30-60fps. My brother is currently playing Cyberpunk on a 3770K. Perfectly playable at medium settings.

I was CPU limited on Broadwell-E back on 3080 in 4K.
You could probably play some games on it but there's not a lot of reasons to test it with a 5090 IMO.
From the results we have it looks like even 9800X3D is barely able to keep up even in native 4K.

Oh yea the 6700XT is massively CPU limited by the 3770K in that system. It would purely be a 3930k review in 2025. Which is interesting but it sounds like a lot of work for something so esoteric.

Do you have actual source for this thought? All the reviews I've seen have gained what you'd expect from OC (both factory and otherwise), which suggest is not CPU limited on topend consumer CPUs like 9800X3D at 4K

Yes. It's the results of benchmarks we have. As I've said.

Here's a fresh example:

Monster Hunter Wilds Benchmarks

Am 28. Februar erscheint Monster Hunter Wilds. Schon jetzt gibt es ein kostenloses Benchmark-Tool, perfekt für einen Community-Benchmark.

This one is CPU limited in native 4K for me on my 4090+5900X. Not for the whole benchmark but for a solid part, like 50% or so.
They are testing it in 4K with DLSS-Q which in my case was CPU limited at like 80% of the run.
Note the +15% gains 5090 shows on 4090 on 9800X3D there.

I'm pretty sure that a vast majority of modern games will have similar issues if the benchmark run isn't tested and selected properly to be fully GPU limited.
You will still have "gains" because the run isn't 100% CPU limited but they will be low because it is CPU limited to some degree.

The string of unexplained behavior continues. In PassMark, the 4090 is 18% faster than the 5090! The 5080 can't exceed the 4070Ti!!

Didn't Nvidia say that any app using tensor cores would have to be recompiled to see performance improvements? Could the same be said for straight CUDA applications as well?
 

The more it burns, the more you buy. The more you buy, the more you save!

Is this a common thing for the 5090?

Interesting.

Can't wait to see the 5070 benches. I'd love to see something around 4070Ti speed for less than 4070 power consumption and price.
 
Since MSRP announcement, 10% tariffs have been applied, so everything under $825 will be hitting to AIB / nvidia profits. (And can be so considered as better deal.)
This of course matters only in U.S.
Europe should stay unaffected, unless AIBs will use U.S. tariffs as reason to raise prices also on this side of the pond.

I want to see scalpers try to make a profit on the already inflated price. I really hope they stand out in the cold for hours only to get stuck with overpriced cards they can't resell. If scalping is going to happen it's better for the retailers to do it than some rando on eBay. Retailers aren't going to be in a rush to reduce prices when demand falls though.

It will be a miracle if they don't.

Of course they will.
I mean, even though a euro is generally worth a fair bit more than a dollar, EUR retail price MUST remain fixed at USD x 1.1.

Because uhh oh yeah VAT, and we gotta support the average US consumer who has less disposable income thanks to the Gini coefficient hellscape they're maintaining in lieu of a society.
