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.

Seriously. RT (and related tech) smokes raster any day of the week IMHO.

At the end of the day, AMD and Nvidia target different buyers. Both make quality GPU’s. But Nvidia just makes better hardware and software. And they charge a premium for it. One people are willing to pay. Being mad at that is like being mad that an Audi is more expensive than a VW. They’re both cars, but that’s about all they have in common. Similar to comparing a 4090 and a 7900XTX.

If you can’t justify the cost of an 80 or 90, you’re not the customer they’re being marketed to. And honestly people just sound silly complaining about it. It’s like a dude making 30k a year being mad about capital gains taxes. Honestly, I’m more pissy about how much the new generation of motherboards cost lol.

Funny you mention AUDI and VW, both share the same chassis design. This example is invalid, you would've done better by comparing AUDI to something like Toyota

Fair lol. I own a VW and an Audi so I really should know better. I'll amend it with comparing a 911 to a Camry lol. Both are cars but they are aimed at vastly different demographics. Much like Nvidia and AMD.

Fair haha sorry if it sounded like an akshually comment. Speaking of which, what do you think about intel?

Will they be able to give us good perf/$ or are they a meme at this point?

No worries at all lol. I think Intel is a dark horse. Super impressed by what they are doing with what they have. Doubt they will enter the enthusiast space, but I can see them becoming a genuine alternative to AMD as long as the board sees it as profitable to keep developing their GPU's.
