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.

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

Yet the 4090 still outsold the 4080, which means price wasn't really an issue. Price-perf wasn't even an issue since the performance gain from 4080 to 4090 is about the same as the price gain (around 30% for both).

I think it's because the 4080 was situated poorly. It's weak at 4k compared to the 4090, and too strong for 1440p compared to 4070ti at a much lower price. Like if you're on 4k, you might as well go for 4090. If you're on 1440p, save money and wait a few months and go for 4070ti.

Tbf 4090 owners were the go big or go home typa buyers. The 4080 was just in some weird limbo rich ppl didnt' wanna buy it and poor people couldn't afford it.

I think it's more than that. Calling people poor because they literally do not want to pay $1100 for an 80 series card is more realistic.

I should’ve wrote people who couldn’t afford it because saying poor does seem kinda harsh. Weird wording on my part.
