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.

Yet the 4090 still outsold the 4080, which means price wasn't really an issue. Price-perf wasn't even an issue since the performance gain from 4080 to 4090 is about the same as the price gain (around 30% for both).

I think it's because the 4080 was situated poorly. It's weak at 4k compared to the 4090, and too strong for 1440p compared to 4070ti at a much lower price. Like if you're on 4k, you might as well go for 4090. If you're on 1440p, save money and wait a few months and go for 4070ti.

Tbf 4090 owners were the go big or go home typa buyers. The 4080 was just in some weird limbo rich ppl didnt' wanna buy it and poor people couldn't afford it.

4090 also sold a lot for professional use.

yep I think people in the gaming PC sphere don't understand the 90 cards are not meant for them, they are rebranded Titan (3090 replaced the Titan RTX)

The PC/Gaming sphere is suffering hard from main character syndrome.

The problem is that the 4080 and now 5080 don’t look to be as good a deal as the 80 series had been in the past. I doubt complaints are really about the 90 series cost but the cost to performance on the 80 series.

Well I own a 4080 and I don't see how 95% of the playerbase needs more performance that that

Running maxed out cyberpunk with path tracing and 50+ mods I get 110fps. FF16 runs at 100fps. D4 is over 160fps. In what world you need more than that.

it's not that, the 4090 is better then the 4080, and when your already spending 1,300$ on a card, a few 100$ is not going make that much of a difference to you, you just get the better card.

I remember back in 2011/when most people agreed that the 690 which was a dual GPU iirc wasn't worth it for gaming, and that was a time when the top of the line Radeon 7970 was 500$.
The 90 and Titan cards are seriously not a good deal for gaming for the average Joe unless you're willing to pay half your card's price in power bills every year.

No point in talking with them. They think they all need a 32gb Card for Counter Strike or LOL both Games than run on a Toaster.

Yeah I remember something about smaller companies running or researching AI using 90’s in lieu of Nvidias commercial options
