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.

      VR enthusiasts can put it to use. The higher end headsets have resolutions of over 5000 x 5000 pixels per eye.

      You are basically rendering the entire game twice, once for each eye, and the resolution is like eight times as many pixels compared to your typical 1080p game

      No one should, video graphics haven’t progressed that far. Only the lack of optimisation has.

        You’re missing a major audience willing to pay $2k for these cards, people wanting to run large AI language models locally.

          I’m willing, but unable :'(

          Someday I’ll be able to run something cool like that Deepseek v3 model or something. Probably when they figure out how to run them well in regular RAM, I have a shit ton of that at my disposal. Stupid VRAM. (Maybe they’ll start coming out with GPUs with slotted VRAM lol)

      I’m staying on 1440p deliberately. My 3080 is still perfectly fine for a few more years, at least current console gen.

        I’ve ditched my gaming PC and am currently playing my favorite game (Kingdom Come Deliverance) on an old laptop. Which means I can’t go higher than 800x480.
        And honestly, the immersion works. After a couple minutes I don’t notice it anymore.

        You’re not wrong. I just recently upgraded my whole machine going from a 3090 to a 4090 on 1440p and basically can’t tell the difference.
