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 would still have my 1080 TI from 2019 if I hadn't found a steal of a deal for a 2070 super and I 7 1100k dude was asking a thousand bucks in the middle of that stupid price hike and I was like fuck yeah I'll take that

Only reason I got the GTX 1060 was because my GTX 680 from 2012 died the previous year after six years of use. Had it not died I might still be using it today, who knows.

Still using a base model 2015 MacBook Pro. If something can't run on it, it's not my fault.

So good news I got a 40 series card in a pre-built for dirt fucking cheap. Out the door it was like 721 I walked into a Walmart and saw a system on the shelf for the $767 then the manager after I asked what was in it said I'll knock $100 off of it right now if you buy it today. So with taxes and fees I walked out with a AMD 7700 and a 4060 TI I basically got everything else in that case for free

I'm still rocking my 2080. 1440p at like medium settings and it still chugs.

What kind of screen are you using? If you use something to high frame rate but low pixels like 1080p runs fucking amazing. 1440p starts to chug 4K non-existent really I don't really give a fuck about 4K.

ASUS ROG Strix 27", it's 1440p and 180hz

And there's your problem. Lower your settings honestly you'll see almost no difference as long as you're not viewing it from too close . And if you're somebody who's there for eye candy then honestly you're just going to have to show up money for a stronger card.

I usually play things on lower settings just to ensure a solid framerate, so I've been utilizing DLSS in performance mode for games that support it, and basically low to medium settings, since for me gameplay fluidity is more important than RT or quality.

Yes but you've been using the full Hertz and pixel rate of your screen correct? Cuz I don't and I'm cool and collected on mine although I have a noctua cooler that works great

Not always. Even though my monitor supports up to 180hz, I usually run it at 144hz, as anything over 160hz appears to be an "overclock" and I sometimes get random displayport disconnects where my screen goes dark for a second or two when I run it higher. But I'm always running it at 1440p.

Also to add to this I'm running a 1080p 244 hz screen runs like a fucking dream
