100% this is basically a 4090Ti.

It is scaled up very closely for power/performance/cost. It is a step up, but doesn’t really seem like a new architecture. Not super promising for the rest of the lineup unless they change that fps/$ ratio.

I don't think anyone will be upgrading from 4000 series. Absolutely no the jump we saw from 2000 to 3000 series like some people where hoping.

After a 2 year wait, rather disappointing.
 
MSRP is going to be loose with the 'recommended' in Canada for sure. So the actual price jump to get a 5090 is going to be insane.

I'm far more interested in seeing what AMD has to offer on their release.
Especially if FSR4 has the visual quality improvements coupled with the FPS boost that was demoed, and the prices are better of course.
 
HWC review. Key point is that if you are running a riser cable, you should manually set the GEN value before popping the 5090 in your built. Mike came across crashes and BSOD when using a GEN 3 or 4 riser cable while leaving the GEN setting to Auto in BIOS. Other than that, the FPS difference using PCI-E GEN 3 and 4 aren't too bad unlike Intel Battlemage.

What do you do then if you update the bios? I'd assume auto is the default.
