The first salvo of RTX 50 series GPU will arrive in January, with pricing starting at $549 for the RTX 5070 and topping out at an eye-watering $1,999 for the flagship RTX 5090. In between those are the $749 RTX 5070 Ti and $999 RTX 5080. Laptop variants of the desktop GPUs will follow in March, with pricing there starting at $1,299 for 5070-equipped PCs.
They claim the 5070 gives 4090 performance for $549. that lower end of the 50 series line up looks nice.
That “4090 performance” includes the new frame generation where only a quarter of all frames is rendered. It’s borderline false advertising.
It’s called upcycling if the frame is generated then the kids have to mine less virgin frames from the mines. Before this breakthrough we were rendering so many frames the landfills were completely full.
At much higher power consumption
The 5070 is rated at 250 wats vs the 4090 at 450 wats.
