bahahhaa, Linus and Steve as Zoolander and Hansel were PERFECT 🤣🤣

[PaulDickson]

I love that you reviewed every other channels review of the RTX5090, actually preferred that rather than watch 6 videos about the same thing :)

[dustinsonger]

that ending was absolutely perfect Paul

[HGRlD]

So glad that the 5090 is well priced for AI, but for some reason I believe GeForce is a gaming series of GPUs and I can't recall when gamers asked for any of this AI crap.

[zCaptnZero]

"Mum and Dad are fighting". Love it, you cheeky bastard.

[jjbinks]

I wish AMD could do to NVIDIA what they've done to INTEL

[jasonhemphill]

Imagine paying $2000+ dollars and not even getting the full die.

Nvidia has lost their minds.

[aaronparsons]

"Mom and Dad are fighting again" boy that feels so true

[Dozer]

*Cries in 1080TI* I know he's no longer he youngest or fastest kid on the block, but I still love him for who he is, okay?!

[thisguy]

If only 0.08% of the gaming market is buying a 5090 or 4090 and the rest are being purchased in bulk by the AI market, then shareholders are being misled. Nvidia has already been fined for this during the mining bubble but with such a weak monetary penalty, they'll continue duping customers and investors alike.

[earvinarp]

The hard truth is that, if you are just a gamer, you absolutely do not need this thing.

[danieln.]

that's what happens when there's no competition.

[toddabbott]

The 5090 is an over priced space heater. The performance is fine, but 99% of the people out there don't need it. You have to play AAA titles that focus on next generation graphics and you need to run it at 4k minimum with ray tracing on. This is such a narrow group of hard core gamers with money to burn. Personally I would like to see hard caps at 125w for CPUs and 250w for GPUs and instead of just cranking up the power to get more performance they might actually work on making it more efficient instead.

[TheOriginalFaxon]

Quoting princess bride in the intro is the kind of hard truths i came here for Paul, thank you

[legendaryxmotherboard]

Don't worry, Paul told me in secret he is on the same side of the beef you're on.

[jonathanwessner]

My problem with the $2000 price for a 5090 is the FACT that Nvidia told their investors that $1200 of the price is JUST profits.

[STKReacts]

I feel like the 50 series will go down as the TRUE (Ti/Super) variants of the 40 my mind....LOL

[Hobbesever]

remember when the 3090 Ti was selling for under $1000 when the 4090 was released. They are still charging $2400 for the soon "obsolete" 4090

[Armedlegally]

3k for a damn video card that will surely be replaced in video card wars in a year....NO NO NO! Why are we playing this game. I certainly can afford it but This shouldn't be tolerated !

[michaeljohn]

The hard truth about the RTX 5090 is that whether it's good or bad...I can't afford it
