Discussion Nvidia Blackwell in Q1-2025

[Panino Manino]

Nvidia is so insatiable greedy.

Jensen at Computex:

I got a fun drinking game for ya... drink every time he says "AI"

Leo at Kitguru sums it up in the first 3mins or so of his video. They don't care. Jensen brought up the 5060 on stage along with a laptop and talked about AI/DLSS and that the AI guessed 9/10 pixels and talked for about 2mins on the gaming front. Only about AI generated graphics. 10 years in the making!

Some 5060 review. As expected it's 4060ti level

All for $400 USD.

Memory bandwidth properly improved on both the 5060Ti and 5060. And core count increase (vs 4000 series) is at least 'ok', as compared to the 70 and 80 cards not seeing much increase. Its just the willful VRAM sabotage...

Then it wouldn't be $299.

(6060 btw I will predict will be... 9 GB)

With 3G gddr7 chips soon they will have a lot options, this talk about 8GB is so boring just do not buy 8GB card and be done

No, I won't be done with it. I'm going to laugh at any mega-minded contrarian who pays more than $400 in the year 2025 for the privilege to find the "right" settings on an 8GB card.

It seems that Nvidia fixed the power issues on the mobile Blackwell series:

There's technically MSRP 5060 cards... but yeah, they are all conveniently OOS.

There is a model available at $319.

There is no special setting all games just work 99% work without any difference, it`s just greed and money grab from fake journalist today they push narative majority want to see in their hate of AI and what not

GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Laptop vs. RTX 5070 Laptop - The successors to the RTX 4070 Laptop in review

Notebookcheck review of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Laptop and RTX 5070 Laptop.

NBC compared the 5070 Ti Laptop to the 5070 Laptop... the Ti is quite a bit faster. Granted it was 85 W versus 115 too.

It is also a 192 bit part vs. 128, and there are also 25W of Dynamic boost so it's more 140W vs 85W.

Hmm.. the Supers might actually come out this year. And maybe a respin for higher GPU clocks, albeit at higher power draw?

 

[GodisanAtheist]

Feels like the 5xxx only just finished releasing and ramping up to some sort of normal availability and the 5080 Super is already in the works?!
