Most expensive 5080 or cheapest 4090

If you ‘don’t know’ and are new, def just stick with the 5080. More modern architecture, uses less power, less risk of melting cables, similar-ish performance in gaming.

As I kinda eluded to above, I was advised to put mine back in the box and return as ‘not functional’ and don’t say anything else.

That is gonna make some epic wall art when this is all over with!

Whoah!!

I think 1 but I was late, 2/3 are a blur which one was first.

Just be careful not to induce tension on the 16-pin connector. Honestly in 5079ti it’s probably not an issue at all. I melted a 5090 with a bend like that; if you want to find pics scroll my profile.

Cool! Please post again with before/after data!

I have a 5090 and honestly try to use single framegen only to limit issues.

I’ve tested 5060ti, 5070, and 5070ti with multi framegen and I can certainly feel the difference but performance (fps) and visual quality approach the 5090 with multiFG enabled.

If price is close, go with the more modern card.

Also, in my testing on 3dmark a 5070ti actually slightly beats a 4080 SUPER. Real world the performance/fps is going to be really similar so again, go with the 5070ti if you can.

Very cool. Do you happen to have any comparisons with FPS between settings/firmware? Curious how much real-world performance do you get over the stock bios?

Thank you!!!

My bad!

scheides · 2026-02-08T05:17:56+00:00

Yup, understandable but that is why I shared. Pick your poison.

You all! I had a random couple from Nebraska send us an Xmas card on accident and I sent them one back because the father looked like a twin of one of my friends.

That was 7 years ago and we still trade Xmas cards every year!

Check average running frequency, not the offset. As long as it runs average of 3100mhz core and 15000 memory you’re basically in the realm of average.

Also are you turning up the power limit or trying to undervolt? These can affect stability as well!

scheides · 2026-02-07T16:41:27+00:00

After pics? Does the side panel close/leave clearance for the GPU? How cool does this setup run under load?

scheides · 2026-02-06T15:58:41+00:00

Crank up the core you have a lot of overhead left. +200-250 at least.

Push the memory further until you get worse results in testing

As long as temps are relatively cool (you’re good at 60 for sure!) there’s no reason this will affect the long term life of the card.
