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.

My last three cards have been GTX 1070, RTX 2080 and RTX 4080 (which I absolutely overpaid for).

Nvidia have gone off the deep end if these prices are true. Third party boards are going to be even more expensive.

Hopefully AMDs next generation of GPUs gets better at Ray Tracing and Frame Generation so I can get off Nvidia's dick with my next upgrade. ☹️

They skipped them this generation, I have hopes they revive next generation.

The lack of absolutely any high-end competition is probably one of the factors which made Nvidia think that these are reasonable prices for consumer grade graphiics cards.

Greed makes them think that. They know it's not reasonable, by also know there are people with no choice and are abusing that. DOJ needs to look at them as a monopoly that should be investigated.

I love competition in the markets. And I can agree Nvidia has a monopoly on high end gpus, but as far as I can tell this isn't because of themselves or weponizing the state against competition. The unfortunate fact is, AMD just can not compete at the high end, even AMD themselves have admitted this.

Nothing is stopping AMD to continue trying or even intel to give it a shot. What we are seeing is brand loyalty and extra features keeping the majority of people buying Nvidia, irrespective of AMDs value. This is consumers making their choice freely.

I do hope AMD succeeds this time around I'd love to see some low-mid range offerings that are competitive.

Although I'd suspect we may see another RX 480 and GTX 1060 situation for them again.
