Is 5090 the card model number or the price?
- Uh it is both, for convenience, TLDR 5090
- This joke is the millennial version of boomers asking if something is free when it doesn't scan.
  
  Braindead take
Doesn't matter, I couldn't afford a 5090 anyway.
- going by trend, I don't think my apartment could fit a 5090
  
  On the plus side you no longer need heating.
  
  You'd need a separate apartment just to keep it from sagging...
- Nvidia doesn't care. Their margins will be high enough, and there will be enough buyers that they'll be able to print money at whatever absurd price point they choose.
  
  It's gonna be over $2,000. (Uneducated caveman ignorant guess)
- I got my 3080 and I plan on keeping using it for a good while still.
- I got lucky and scored a 4090 at a discount on launch day. I think I'll just hang onto it for a few more generations. It still has plenty of power to run everything at 4K 120Hz especially with DLSS Balanced, (except Indiana Jones; that game is extremely demanding), which I use anyway cause IMO it looks better than AA.
Oh no, I'm sure no one could've guessed the names...
- 32GB is news. It confirms either a 512 or (more likely) 256 bit bus, which would be a significant drop from the 384 bit on the 4090.
  I'm sure the increased perf of G7 would fully offset that, but this means without some larger caches it will be difficult for this to be a massive performance jump from last gen.
  Unless they're going 512 bit, in which case ignore all that and wow is this a monster.
  
  More likely a 256 bit bus? Not with the monster of a card the 5090 would be. 256 bit on that massive of a card would be ridiculous. The card is set to draw 600 watts.
Knowing Nvidia's exorbitant pricing, I think I'll keep Intel's Arc B580 in my wishlist.
- They need a Steamdeck type list of games that will actually run on it though.
Allegedly, the 5090 would have 32GB and the 5080 16GB, I don't see much room for the 5060 to have more than 8GB if the 5070 itself has 12GB?
I would have loved to see the 5080 with 24GB, the 5070 with 16GB and the 5060 with 12GB (at least). And for the 5060 to drop the 128 bit bus...
- I would have loved to see the 5080 with 24GB
  They wouldn't do this because it would undercut their 5090 sales.
  
  Sales and probably pricing itself. With a gap this large, the price of the 5090 might be more than twice as high as that of the 5080 and people would still buy it.
- A 5060 with 8gb will have Intel wringing their hands with glee. Whatever performance gains the ($300-350) 5060 GPU has (and I don't doubt they'll be notable) will be choked off by an 8gb framebuffer. They might do a 16gb clamshell like they did with the 4060ti but like you said, where does that leave the 12gb 70 card?
This is why I love Zotac. We'll, not this reason, but it adds to the small pile of smiles they've given me.
That being said I'm skipping this Nvidia gen and might break for AMD next. My 3090 is still trucking fine and I feel like Nvidia has lost their value after the debacles of the 40 series.
- skipping nvidia since gtx750ti, AMD all the way up
- Did you hear about the news that AMD is skipping out on "high-end" market segment next generation? No real concrete numbers to this statement. I have heard speculation that they plan on making cards just as powerful as last gen except with better ray tracing and CHEAPER.
  
  I have heard this, and to be honest, I don't think I need the highest power GPU anymore. I mostly got the 3090 for VR and I seldom use my kit anymore. Upper-mid range AMD might be the answer for me.
- AMD is by far the price-per-unit-performance leader. Same is true on the CPU side. Intel and Nvidia aren't even on the chart tbh.
- You should think about selling it TBH. 3090 prices are shooting up like crazy, and may be at a peak, because they are the last affordable card to self host LLMs.
  
  Can’t you run LLMs on 4090/5090 maybe 5080? Basically any Nvidia card with 24GB+ of VRAM?
  
  Never even thought of that, is there a good website to sell a GPU on or is it pretty much just eBay?
  I just don't play games like I used to, just videos now. Poor thing hardly gets any use.
I just want one to self host a 70B LLM model for fuck's sake. I don't want to be forced to take out a god damned mortgage/personal loan to buy one.
- Damn, they require like 50GB vram, that's nuts.
- I picked up a pair of old Tesla P40s. Right now I'm running a Q4 quant of Qwen 2.5 72B that fits in the combined 48GB of VRAM with 12k context. They aren't as fast as newer consumer cards, but it generates as fast as I can read while costing less than a used 3080.
  
  interesting. They are cooled passively, right? What's your case and cooling setup?
- Qwen 2.5 32B is where it's at now. 24GB is affordable, and it fits perfectly.
  Otherwise, stay on the lookout for AMD Strix Halo, which can reportedly allocate up to 96GB on its IGP, and you can run faster backends like vllm or exllama.
  
  What's up with Qwen that makes it better than anything else?
- You might just want to use Kaggle tbh
  
  Never heard of it.
