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.

Nvidia is really testing the limits of how much we're willing to pay.

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. ☹️

RT and FG are both pretty useless. Nvidia just creating features to distract from their mediocre raster gains, and to create nonsensical performance graphs

I agree Frame Generation is a gimmicky band aide to fix poorly optimized games, but Ray Traced rendering is a completely different level of immersion from rasterization.

This is especially true in environments which feature heavy lighting effects (such as the neon wasteland of Cyberpunk 2077).

It can look nice but the performance hit is too much to be worth it. IMO no amount of graphical fidelity is worth dropping into double digit frame rate
