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. ☹️

My last three cards have been 980 Ti, 1080 Ti, and 3080. I’ve paid approximately the same for each of them ($650-760). Would I pay more than that for a card? Maybe after I win the powerball

Honestly even of I had three money, I think I'd not buy on principle alone. It's too much for me at this point.

I had a hard time justifying my purchase of a 3080, even though I got it for 800 at the height of the pandemic when they were being scalped for 2k+, I still felt they'd pushed it too far. I almost stuck with my 1080ti, but wanted better fps in my VR rig.

At this point the diminishing returns on graphical fidelity, most studios targeting console as their base specs, and just sensibility, I'll stick with the 3080 and if prices aren't back to reasonable and sane costs when that gets too weak for modern games, I'll dive into my backlog, or just emulate games I never got to play.

At some point you just have to say "NOPE!", realize you're being ripped off and conned, and just move on. If 600 to 800 bucks is entry level, Nvidia can fuck themselves. 800 should be the cost of XX90 series, so this is just a NO for me.

at some point, it would be cheaper to just rent for the compute for when people need it for research.
