The 5090 isn’t terrible, it’s literally the most powerful gaming GPU on the market bar none by a large margin.
People are just idiots and love to parrot out of context nonsense because they’re outraged about the price.

It is a good GPU
But the price is wht hurts it. Even actual “bad” GPUs would not be as bad if their price reflected their performance

5090 is the best GPU on the market, but is it the best value, no!

I’m currently running a dual 4090 FE/5090 FE which was a dual 3090 FE/4090 FE for two years until I got the 5090 on launch day at MSRP $2K US. Not as big of leap overall as the 3090 to 4090 but the 5090 is a still a solid jump, at least at 4k and VR.
The issues are troublesome, no way to be sure how widespread they are but I’m thinking with all of the 5090 posts I’ve seen digging the card overall, I don’t think they are. A lot of saltiness over the 5000s because of pricing and launch availability and that’s certainly tainted the perception of the 5000s, particularly the 5090.
With everything being controversial these days, you just have to judge things by yourself. Social media and tech influencers are becoming more and more opinionated so you have to filter much, if not most of it out, otherwise no would buy anything these days.

5000 series drivers have been garbage, hopefully they can turn it around and the drivers are better.

Blah, I will likely never own **90 GPU and I’m perfectly fine. In fact I don’t think I’ll ever own **80 or **70. Shit costs too much for diminishing returns.

Y’all are just jealous of my BITCHIN’ rx590.

Price, performance per watt and the possibility of a burned connector isn’t worth it for me to switch. Maybe next gen if they solve the issues with power balancing of the power delivery

30 to 40 was a big step up, 40 to 50 not so much.
30 to 40:
* Double-frame gen to increase smoothness (not actual fps)
* Massive jump in perf/watt
* Improvements in terms of reliability (aside from 12VHPWR). Remember 3060 Ti issues? 3090 double sided VRAM?
* More VRAM on most (sorry 4060) mid and hi-end card
40 to 50:
* Multi-frame gen, which is mostly pointless aside from very high refresh rate hi-res monitors
* Practically the same perf/watt
* 12VHPWR is the same crappy connector, if not worse on the 5090 (thanks to additional 125W power draw)
* Same VRAM lol

I got the 3090 last week and feel great.

Me trying to buy a used 3080/3080ti or 3090 only to see everyone wanting ridiculous prices for a well-used card released 4+ years ago…

I mean I really enjoy my 5090, but I upgraded from a 3090. The performance boost is unreal. Did I pay too much? Msrp but it still felt like a bit much. But, I get to give my 3090 to my son, and I don’t foresee buying another gpu until I start seeing degraded performance again.
