New Nvidia RTX 5000 series looks decent. Prices are lower than I expected, but still, a xx70 card should not be anywhere near $549. Such is life in the 2020s, I suppose. Either way, I'm still buying AMD because I cannot stand Nvidia. - ThreadSky

We've already got 50 series? Surely there hasn't been that much improvement on the 40 series or (at a stretch) the 30 series. They're treating these GPUs like yearly FIFA's at this point.

Apparently the 5070 achieves 4090 performance, but that's with all the AI enhanced features turned on. I have a feeling that raw performance won't be quite as strong. Still, I think it could be a good choice for those looking to upgrade from their 1000 series and below Nvidia cards, price aside.

I suppose, but I guess I'd prefer raw power over some A.I bollocks, hence I'd probably pick up a top range 30 series over the latest. But that's just me 🤷🏻

You're a rare breed these days because everyone seems to love the direction these cards are heading with AI. Just ends up giving excuses to Devs to release unoptimised slop and say that DLSS is needed imo.

Good news at least is that the older cards will end up dropping in price now.

I certainly feel like a rare breed, Everything's becoming more "A.I enabled" recently and it just feels like an excuse for things to stop innovating and release as you put "Unoptimised slop"

More recent games in particular seem incredibly Unoptimised, probably why I'm so comfortable playing Fallout 4 or Minecraft etc.
