These must have been sitting in a warehouse for a bit because there's no way they'd be penny-pinching and not support PCIE Gen 5 nor DisplayPort 2.0 on a $1600 piece of hardware.
- RobLach 4y agoWhich makes the release of the 3090 Ti earlier in the year pretty consumer hostile.
- gjsman-1000 4y agoPCIe Gen 5? Please, they've already announced PCIe Gen 7, NVIDIA is so behind. /s But seriously, unless you need PCIe Gen 5 or have a 240hz monitor, it's not that huge of a deal. Yes, it's a $1600 card, but what are you going to do? Buy AMD (which presumably won't have quite as good performance), or wait until next year?
- RobLach 4y agoIt's possible you'll need Gen 5 over the lifespan of this card as storage takes up more and more lanes. That this card takes 2x as many as necessary to save a fraction of a dollar doesn't make much sense unless these things were far enough in the production timeline... which means these were being produced for a while now. Same for DisplayPort 2.0. These benchmarks show games exceeding 120fps at 4K already. Displays that support those higher rates and resolutions will be common in 5-6 years. It's more of a question of "why not?" rather than "does it need it" at this price point.
