RTX 5090 buyers may need 500W just to cover GPU power consumption.
I put off building in the 30 series because it was just too expensive for what you are getting in the mid tier. Same with the 40 series but worse. I can't imagine it will be better with the 50 series.
The pricing will definitely be worse than 40 series. Especially for the 5050 and 5060 series (on a relative basis).
They are making mad money on enterprise GPUs for the "AI" bubble, value and mid-range consumer GPUs exist solely to limit potential future competition from AMD and Intel.
I think you will be show totally correct; at the same time, I'm like..
Worse??!?! HOW COULD IT GET WORSE?!??!?!
What price and performance are you expecting from a mid-range gpu?
I'm not a good metric to judge from. I've had work machines with 20k in GPU and have built personal systems from $450 to $5k. I need GPU for work, but also game. I own my own buisness, so its on me to either buy or rent the GPU I need. In the 20 series, I was more than happy to pony up for what I was getting. There was real value in those cards
Its about price-to-performance issues with Nvidia and this generation; how the industry went from gouging us because crypto, to now the industry gouging us because AI. You just aren't getting what you are paying for with this cards, unless you go to the 90' skews. So I've always been biased to team green because I get double duty from them.
But now?
NOTHING in Nvidias screams price-to-performance king. I will not be building my next PC with double duty/ work in mind. I'll just rent what I need for work and switch over to team red (likely) for this next generation. I'm over team green and its shenanigans.
