Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series product value

Ehhm.. it's an interesting question but I'm not sure if this is gonna lead to a satisfactory outcome. Unlike reusing some older card you happen to have lying around.
But ok if you check Nvidia's CUDA compatibility list that model number should have compute capability up to version 2.1 or 3.5 (as there are Fermi and Kepler versions of that card supposedly).
And driver support ends with 475.14.
A Pascal based GT1010 or 1030 shouldn't cost much more but supports all the way to 6.1 as well as still being supported by the latest Nvidia drivers. Might be a more sensible expense.
I could use an older card (and I guess it would be the same for a lot of people) but having a quite high end card (for the time) dedicated to just Physx is a bit much
I never thought about the driver side of things would for example having a rtx5070 with the latest driver and a gt710 with PhysX-9.13.0604-SystemSoftware-Legacy driver installed be enough to use that combo ?
or if not a gtx 9000 series card or later and NVIDIA PhysX System Software installed

You would definitely want a card supported by the same driver as your main card which means that anything older than Maxwell is out and if you plan on using the card for more than just playing the games now then you'd probably make a cut at Turing even - which means something like GTX 1630 or RTX 3050 I'd say.
One of the best looks at DLSS4 so far and my limited personal testing confirms his findings.
The most noticeable flaw I saw in DLSS4 in Witcher 3 (driver override) was the disocclusion around Geralt. I'm suspect this is less of a problem at super high FPS but with base FPS around 45-60 it's definitely noticeable. Still better about this than any other upscaling solution I tested. Even the old way model was better than any other solution available in that game.
Something funny is that I mostly only see the disocclusion artifacting around Geralt's head, maybe since that's where my eyes rest. If there was increased quality around that small area of the screen, maybe it would have an outsized impact on my perception of the image quality.
Looks like Nvidia was caught selling 5090s with missing ROPs. As if the margins aren’t juicy enough, they’re still cutting corners everywhere. Horrible power connector design which represents a serious regression from the 3090ti. Now they’re selling incomplete hardware.
I mean, this is just ridiculous.

The driver doesn't have some ROP count list in it to read from. The driver provides a path for GPU-Z to ask from the GPU
Would the BIOS have to be configured differently to allow for the deactivation of functional units? I'm trying to understand what is different (hardware or software) with these cards, so I can understand how something like this could happen. I don't know how this is done. For all I know they could scrape off the ROPs with a beltsander.
BIOS could play a part, we know they got final BIOSes at really late date too.
If the BIOS is different on these "defective" cards, how could the AIBs not notice?
Is this the worst GPU launch in a long time? It feels like it to me.
-Dropped support for 32 bit physx
-Missing Rops
-The worst gen on gen increase in a long time
-Fake MSRPs
-Bad Availability at launch
-Power connector design flaws
-Reports of GPUs going up in flames
-Bad performance per dollar improvements gen on gen.
I feel like there are quite a few I’m missing.
Fantastic video. Between the DLSS4 upgrade and the rocky launch Nvidia is making it real easy for people to skip the 50 series.
This is the best analysis of upscaling IQ I’ve seen. Tim’s coverage of FSR 4 will be must watch TV. I wish he included more shots of native/DLAA though.
that's terrible. From hiding the heat generated in the warmest part of the GPU -afaik there is no way to know via sensor which is the inner temp of the central part of the GPU-, to GPUs on fire and so on and so forth.
I was just waiting for the RTX 5060 to be launched and see how much VRAM it has and so on, just out of curiosity, but now I'm just not that hyped.

I'm seeing 5070ti's in stock at 3 stores down here in aus, looks to be about 4 models all above msrp. Not sure if it price or the defects are the reason, there are 5080's instock aswell and again the ones instock are massively over msrp.
Yep, and they're all priced higher than what you could get a 4080 Super for up until very recently. After taking off local tax and converting, we're talking $1050 - $1150USD for a 5070Ti. The 5080's in stock are $1500 - $1650USD. Terrible value and no one should buy at these price gouge prices.

I'm seeing 5080's costing more than my 4090 did ($2750 aud), the dollar was around 64 u.s cents at the time so that can't be the reason as it's around that still. There is a zotac 5090 and keep in mind they are a budget brand on ple for $6600 aud and the cooler is a pretty budget one. So uh yeh that's quite an interesting price lol.
