Do you think the RTX 5000 series will launch in 2024 or 2025? Is the RTX 4000 series that bad?

[Hi P]

I been reading that the RTX 4000 series is a scam like the RTX 2000 series

 

And here I am... one of the buyers of the 2080 Ti when it launched, I don't wanna commit that mistake again lol

 

So I am wondering, is the 4000 series really that bad? Are there hopes for the 5000 series to be better?  (price to performance)

RTX 40-series isn't that bad on its own. The cards are legitimately good, they're just waaaay overpriced.

From what I remember, the 4070 and 4080 are the sweet spots, but I could be wrong. If someone reading this knows the actual models worth buying, do enlighten me

 

My take, as someone who recently upgraded from a GTX 1070 to a 2070 Super, is "if money isn't an issue, then buy 40-series if you want it. For us mortals, used 20 or 30-series will be much better value".

 

Graphics cards usually release on I want to say a 2-3 year cycle. We can hope for the next generation to be better, but we won't know until it happens.

Even the 4070 Ti isn't terrible, its trades blows with the 3090 Ti a lot of the time using considerably less electricity.  I got one for an AI upscaler machine as its very competitive there, but again its the price that stings.

I plan to buy a 4k OLED TV and would like to get stable 100+ FPS on most games, which I'm certain my 2080 Ti won't do.

 

if I were to buy a GPU should I go 4070 Ti or 4080?

I tend to play single player games like: Resident Evil, Dead Space, The Witcher, Metro Exodus, etc

It's just really expensive. It's not as bad as the GTX 4xx series where the high end cards overheated like crazy.

The 4070 Ti is limited by its memory bandwidth so I'd probably say 4080, though I went full insanity to a 4090 so I can reduce its power consumption in the summer without losing too much performance.

For the record though, I had a 2080 for a while and for most games around 1440p (or 1080p with DLSS) with temporal upscaling still looks quite nice on a 4K OLED, although having a newer card is better so you can use VRR/G-Sync too make frame rate fluctuations less obvious.

Although 100fps is an ask if you're aiming for native, some games wont do that for me consistently on the 4090 as I think my 5950X becomes the bottleneck.  If had waited I would certainly have gotten a 5800X3D instead.

There is a good chance I'm going to stay with the 4090 two generations instead of the normal 1.  The main thing that was holding me back on the 3080 was VRAM.

It really is a scam though the 4070 ti isnt even a 4070, its a 4060 at best but named 4070 to sell it at 4070 prices, just like with the 1060 3gb which was nothing more than what the 1050 ti should have been.
