Q: Is 5090 the model or the price?
A: Yes.

[fortissimum-citreum]

So ... how many 5090s do i have to buy until i start saving money?

[nd_Directorate]

Oh gee...8GB again for the low variants and just 12 GB for the mid....that´s so predictably pathetic

[baltogames]

Gotta pump out those GPUs while people are still willing to pay used-car prices for computer components!

[traversharty]

5090 = Paper launch at an astronomical premium.

[DagobertX]

Can't wait for the RTX 5090, which will be 10kg heavier, doubled in size, eats 1000Wh and will make the room cozy warm in the winter without proper heating. But at least it will be packed with AI processor units so we can have four times more of the fake frames!

[Tea_]

And the 50 series will also be double the price of the 40 series huh! LoL I miss the days of the top tier gpu's were $500-600! LoL

[kcmsterpce]

Weather was getting nice. Hadn't snowed since January.
Now, an inch has dumped on my front lawn. I switched to summer tires three days ago.

[AtomskTheGreat]

according to that wccftech screenshot nvidia is still planning to release 5000-series models with just 8gb? really? are they trying to pull that "1080p-gaming" bullshit again?

[steampunkstar_raisin]

That animated Mona Lisa is creepy as hell. #creepyai

[dge]

They are still clinging on to 8gb vram, YIKES!

[TigerTT]

I guess I'll hold onto my EVGA GTX 1080 for abit longer lol.

[NegativeROG]

"Copulate"- I always thought that's what they did at the police station, and why the building has so few windows.

[janas]

5090 with 2 hpower connection cables to catch fire😂

[ShimejiiGaming]

Fresh week of tech news :D 5090 would honestly be surprised if it launched before they could extract more money from their 4000 series.

AI stuff is pretty creepy though.

[spoots]

I assume the 5080 performs exactly the same as the 4090D so Nvidia could sell it to Chinese customers, but with extra RT cores because the US government doesn't care about that

[vsvitrix]

Wasn't epecting the Fear and Hunger reference 14 seconds into the video but here we are.

[marcusbrown]

It's nice to know CEO's of tech companies, played CP2077, and took inspiration from it, and all are vying for AI and control dominance.

[joeroggenbeck]

If we could just be satisfied with past gen hardware, only early adopters will suffer the price hikes, crap drivers and unpatched games. I have more games than time and never miss waiting a year to play some new title. Your PC builds go easier, the BIOs are all fixed, and crash issues all documented. Save your money folks. I don't need AI to tell me what to do.

[jackielinde]

Paul, I think you're getting this all wrong. See, I would scrub my hard disks AFTER the drive was dismantled. Why? It's much easier to get that wire brush in all the nooks and crannies once the drive is taken apart. Can't do that while the drive is still in one piece and hiding inside the computer case.

Also, The same flaw exists for SSD's, since it doesn't take apart the circuit boards. But a 2011 Jetta TDI and a pair of jumper cables should take care of that pesky problem for you.
