It scores a 60, because it's really an RTX 5060.
Edit: I checked the 5080 review, and it scored a 70. The 5090 scored 80. I'm detecting a pattern.

Or be like many of us, I'm still rocking my RX 5600XT and playing my steam backlog instead, it will take me decades to play everything, I've decided to exit the race.
Totally agree, at least from when I started gaming
2000 = 32mb is fine
2002 = 64mb is fine
2003 = 128mb
2004 = 256mb
2005 = 512mb
2008 = 1gb
2012 = 2gb
2014 = 4gb
2016 = 8gb
2021 = 10/12gb
2024 = 16gb
I fail to see why, though it does track, but it's insane to think about that by 2027 32gb is likely to be standard
As for costs in 2001 I bought a Geforce 2 GTS for $300 a top level card its getting insane, I won't spend more than $500 on a gpu and hence my exit from the race, its excessive

Lolol. At least you feel very comfortable being completely wrong. Almost impressive.

No, man. Nvidia wouldn't lie to us! They said 5070 is equal to a 4090!

An unusually high score for such a lacklustre, mediocre product which was launched with such fanfare.
A score of 50 is more than enough. Generous, dare I say.

Man, $550 for a entry level, not so impressive GPU now. So glad I took off the green tinted glasses some years ago. Jensen Huang's primary motive is quite clear, and it's only the $$$$. Not passion as it once was. Many of us know his schemes that were starting to transpire around 2018 to present. All those GPU's in bulk that began showing up on the used market from China in recent years, that were almost nowhere to be found in the U.S. at the time of release or years after. It wasn't until the Chinese government started cracking down on mining farms, and tensions with Russia and Ukraine started, that normal consumers were able to find a decent card at a decent price in the U.S. Covid took blame for all that madness though. What a great cover story. Certainly Jensen Huang wasn't exporting tons of GPU's oversees to get filthy rich in the Bitcoin world, he certainly doesn't have high up connections to his homeland. Ahhhhhh we can only speculate

Wow... Hold on. Jensen lied? I didn't see that coming at all. lol
Frame Generation is terrible. It feels floaty. As they try to get more performance out of these lower-end cards the latency gets higher and higher. Better to compare this against the 3090 than the 4090.

I remember sticking one of those Geforce 2 GTS in my Celeron 300MHz OC to 400MHz and watching Unreal start on the 21” Sony monitor I used to have. My jaw dropped. The graphics were incredible and the action smooth like butter. Later I turned one of those Geforce MX into a Quadro card via a resistor re solder and a BIOS flash. It was running ProE very smoothly as well.
Yea. I’m old…
Thanks for the memories!

Ya'll are sheeping if you believe the lie that people seem to be grabbing onto that Frame Gen is bad. It is LITERALLY the best thing to happen to gaming since DLSS. I will bet six months salary that if I put four computer next to each other running four different games, and half are using FG and half are not, you will not be able to tell the difference, not even remotely close. The only time people say they can 'see' the difference is if they pause the game and look at stills back to back. As soon as the human eye can decipher 120+ individual frames a second, get back to me, but until then please stfu. And obviously I am not referring to competitive games, as those won't have Frame Gen as an option anyways, so it's a moot point.

And you fail to understand context. Fake frames are still fake. They might improve smoothness a little bit, they do nothing to actual and real performance.
What you perceive when you play IS actual performance. Always has been, always will be, and they are not fake frames, so please stop band-wagoning on this idea from the clueless.

WTaF is that Aussie RRP. How can it be 2.5x higher than US? I get US price doesn't include tax and ours does include the 10% GST, but that literally insane for what is a trash tier card that has proven once and for all it's a 5060.

No it isn't. Why? Because game-play is not the only use for a graphics card. ACTUAL and REAL performance matters. Tangible improvements are what is expected, not the marginal tweaks NVidia has offered this round.
DLSS4 and FrameGen offer marginal improvements, sure, but they are not a replacement for real, native performance numbers and metrics. End of story.
Lol, so going from 55 to 170 is a 'marginal improvement'? And this is only with single FG, now with Multi-framegen, you're looking at well over 240, so it is an insane increase in performance.
While maybe it can be used for other things, this is a thread where the topic is gaming performance, and FG most definitely should be in the conversation. Native performance is pointless when it comes to gaming, as anyone that isn't a clueless buffoon will enable it when able.

Epic levels of cope, trying to justify how bad these cards are.
GN showed that games turn into a slide show due to 800ms latency due to a lack of VRAM, but don't stop excusing Dear Leader LJM for this scam.
