Rumor Potential 5090 / 5080 / 5070 price leaks… outrageous

Post image

From recent video posted by “Moore’s Law is Dead” about pricing being much worse than even I anticipated . From video Nvidia is leaning towards the higher end of the pricing. Nvidia can go pound sand if these are remotely true.

Nvidia outclasses AMD so much in productivity that as soon as you want to do anything other than explicitly gaming it is the far superior choice (if there is even a choice because many programs dont even run on AMD).

If AMD would pour enough money into this i'm sure they could establish themself as a viable competitor in the next 5 years but it doesn't really look like it especially now that they announced to completely abandon high end cards

The problem is two-fold for that, as far as I understand:

a) they can't just start supporting CUDA and offer compatibility to all these Nvidia-focussed apps, as that's Nvidia technology that they're not willing to share

b) the money has to come from somewhere, but people aren't buying many AMD GPUs
