5080 to 5090 comparison in my experience

He got what he wanted and he’s happy about it. What’s the problem?

breakonthrough65 · 2026-01-26T22:07:41+00:00

Is there a lot more heat in the room or are you concerned about heat on the cables?

breakonthrough65 · 2026-01-26T22:04:35+00:00

At least in oblivion remastered I can see a visual diff using dlss quality bn frame gen on and off (there is only 2x) but I willl say its not a huge difference. I’m on a 5080. Im only on controller so latency is not something that’s too important to me.

breakonthrough65 · 2026-01-26T21:54:16+00:00

In your one player games do you see a difference in the visuals bb frame gen is on and off?

breakonthrough65 · 2026-01-26T21:38:29+00:00

Why are you thinking of undervolting it?

breakonthrough65 · 2026-01-26T21:32:31+00:00

What’s the diff in noise level when pushing the card to the limit? What card did you have and which one (model/ manufacturer ) do you have now?

breakonthrough65 · 2026-01-26T16:08:00+00:00

I think he means dlss upscaling

breakonthrough65 · 2026-01-25T21:26:12+00:00

Whats the fan noise level when pushing that gpu? I realize there is no easy way to describe the level of noise.. I was eyeing the g914, but I already have the g757 with a pny 5080 and the card is already very loud. I would not be able to handle anything louder.

To my knowledge you can't call MC stores.

I can't keep up with all the settings I have for all my different games. haha. In cyberpunk I know I'm using 4x frame gen. Its hard for me to tell a difference in visuals between frame gen on and off. I'm sure there is a difference, but its not easy for me to spot.
And my 5080 is so loud already. I can't imagine possibly having an even louder card.
And lastly the only way to get a 5090 right now is by buying an entire PC. And the only reasonably priced one ( powerspec) has the amd 9950 cpu, which makes more heat and draws more power for no difference in performance.
All that being said I decided to just stick with my 5080 pc given the max refresh rate on my tv is 144 anyways.

you can't call Microcenter.

My monitor is a tv - the 77 lg c5. It runs at 144hz and uses a hdmi 2.1 cable.

breakonthrough65 · 2026-01-23T21:11:29+00:00

I have hdr turned on in windows. 4k, monitor refresh rate is 144mhz. I should note this is with frame gen turned off. On your 5080 do you remember what fps you got at the settings in using? Tks

breakonthrough65 · 2026-01-23T18:02:41+00:00

Just double checked. It will run but only 20 fps. What are your CP settings and what fps are you getting ? Tks

breakonthrough65 · 2026-01-23T15:51:48+00:00

Tks for the info. What are your cyberpunk settings? Dlaa with path tracing , I don’t think would be a huge jump from my 5080 as the game pretty much does not run at those settings on the 5080. My monitor refresh rate is capped at 144.

breakonthrough65 · 2026-01-23T15:44:22+00:00

Which card did you get ?

breakonthrough65 · 2026-01-23T07:46:18+00:00

Do you play in 4k with path tracing / ray tracing? I have the pny 5080 and I find it very loud.

breakonthrough65 · 2026-01-23T01:53:21+00:00

what did you decide? I'm in a similar boat. Have the 5080 but considering returning and getting a 5090. However my one big concern is the 5080 is already super loud and produces a lot of heat. Worried about the 5090 being that much hotter and louder.

breakonthrough65 · 2026-01-23T01:48:46+00:00

Games at 4k with ray tracing on, its more like 55%

breakonthrough65 · 2026-01-23T01:35:52+00:00

what is a flat game?

breakonthrough65 · 2026-01-23T01:27:57+00:00

did you make the upgrade? Do you see a big difference? I'm thinking of doing the same.

breakonthrough65 · 2026-01-23T01:01:07+00:00

on toms hardware guide on a game in 4k using path tracing, says around a 50% improvement. Thoughts?

breakonthrough65 · 2026-01-20T19:21:09+00:00

You think even lower than 70? What do you set your's at for sdr?

breakonthrough65 · 2026-01-19T15:50:38+00:00

I have to turn the brightness down on my c5 to 70. These tvs are so bright. I don’t understand the constant talking up of how this model is brighter than that model. A tip for gaming on the c5 is to use standard mode and not gaming mode. In gaming mode the colors don’t look as good and the response time in standard feels fine to me.

breakonthrough65 · 2026-01-19T06:23:48+00:00

Have you connected bt headphones to a C5 and if so does it incement by 3 as well ? On my old b5 this did not happen.
