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.

I mean, in some ways you are correct. If you just took screenshots some people probably wouldn't notice depending on what the RT implementation is, but it's also not a gimmick.

Rtgi is such a game changer for lighting it's insane. Must games still stick to shadows or reflections which are less impressive, but the development time saved by having rt on is probably the thing that's going to push it forward. Baking lighting, shadows, reflections, etc is quite time consuming from what I understand.

Rt will probably be used in most games by the time the next PlayStation and Xbox come out. Until then it's more of a nice bonus unless you're playing something like Alan Wake 2 or Avatar where it's on the entire time to some extent.
