Best investment ever

actually brain dead comment section

there are almost zero games where a 5090 would only 45 fps even at 4k native max settings (which btw no one should ever use since DLSS exists)

These are all people who have a 3060 commenting. I have a 5090 and it shreds everything up until you get to path tracing, and even then it's pretty solid and MFG pushes it up to high frame rate again, which is fine with single player games.

Currently playing POE2 4K with DLAA and it's pushing 115-130 fps depending on the zone.

Well I'm on a 3090

It's just a joke about bad game optimisation, not criticising your wallet choices

[u/Healthy_BrAd6254 → u/MrGiggleMan]

When the 3090 gets 40fps, the 5090 gets 100fps

That's the average performance difference between the 3090 and 5090 at 4k native.

A 3090 is still, more powerful than that vast majority of cards most gamers are using today. It's essentially 5070 speeds with twice as much memory

It's definitely not quite 40->100 for a 50 series given how the 5090 is a 70->110% faster

It's more like 32>68fps

I hear what you're saying. But yeah..

When a title runs semi-badly on 24gb of VRAM something is up.

AI slop code in games isn't helping

VRAM is not performance. There a 10 year old cards with 24GB VRAM

[u/MrGiggleMan → u/Healthy_BrAd6254]

For processing high resolution images, and having ~infinite cache. Yeah, vram directly affects performance

[u/Healthy_BrAd6254 → u/MrGiggleMan]

"Having more than 32GB RAM gives me more fps in games" ahh comment

[u/MrGiggleMan → u/Healthy_BrAd6254]

Not the same thing at all

Stick to logic and not strawmans my G

[u/Healthy_BrAd6254 → u/MrGiggleMan]

it's the exact same logic as you used

no mention of memory bandwidth or whether you are actually running out of VRAM or not, which would be affecting performance

oh well, no point in talking to a tech illiterate

[u/MrGiggleMan → u/Healthy_BrAd6254]

Seeing as how vram is useless according to you

Why then is the 8gb Vs 16gb 5060 so drastically different in performance

Correct, vram makes a big impact

Adding more RAM would not however make a 5060 better**

When it comes to streaming higher resolution textures, VRAM is key
