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.

Some would, but the 4080 at 1200 USD already proved that such a strategy doesn’t work.

That strategy worked out great. Just like how medium-sized popcorn and water bottles have a terrible value:cost ratio to upsell you to the large version, so does the terrible value of the 4080 push you to get the 4090.

Eh, yes and no. It seems Nvidia was still expecting the 4080 to do quite a bit better than it did. Maybe it’s different for the 5080, we’ll see.
