Wondering what the people that were advising to wait for 50 series when 40s came out because nvidia hates even numbers and made the 40ies bad are thinking now.

They could just buy 40’s now? They are probably a little cheaper now as well?

40ies
I can’t help but read this as “forty-ies” instead of “forties” 😂

I intentionally read 100s as “one hundreds” after I first noticed it many years ago. It bugs me, but I can’t stop now.
Maybe for certain AI workloads, absolutely not for any games. Their drivers are already very well optimised, and the raster performance barely changed this generation.
Right, without major architectural changes there’s no reason to expect drivers to make a meaningful performance difference except in fixing particular workloads that are broken. Average performance should not be expected to move much.

40 series Nvidia was still humoring the raster crowd. 50 they are literally providing tools to tell you what your “real” frame rate should be. It’s the same thing companies got burned at the stake for gaming benchmarks. This is what happens when you don’t have enough competition. The industry leader starts selling bullshit quality dives off a cliff.

no shit, it’s a $1600 card vs a $1000 one

Don’t worry it makes up for it in fake frames…

…That are built into the generation pipeline in a way that pads numbers instead of augmenting real frames. It’s dogshit.

So for someone who has a 2080ti, should I go with a 50 series card? If so, would anyone have a recommendation? I don’t need it right away by any means, as I’ll need to save up for an upgrade if I even can. I just know that I will need to replace it as newer games come out.

I’m still rocking a 1060. I need to at least get a 2080ti or 3060ti
Always depends on what you’re doing with that computer. Is your current gamin experience satisfying? Stay with your current setup. If you don’t need it, don’t buy it.

No, that’s the correct reading.
100s is 100 seconds
I’m glad I went ahead and bought a 4080S a few months ago.
Once they hone in the drivers the 5080 will run circles around the 4090.
