Re: Nvidia RTX 50xx
The 4090 didn't get a Super or a TI so I doubt the 5090 will. The 4060 had a Ti, the 4070 had a Super, Ti, and Ti Super and the 4080 got a Super. When the 4080 got a Super the memory amount stayed the same so I think the same with happen with any 5080 revision. Well I am right so far about no 5090 ...
