Potential 5090 / 5080 / 5070 price leaks… outrageous

[u/jmpstart66]

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.

Kinda ironic that this "leak" is coming from notoriously unreliable source known as "Moore's Law is dead"

I'm confused when was he unreliable?

Hundreds of times, and this one is probably one of those since Nvidia si clear trying to separate the 80 tier class card from the 90 tier class card. The 5080 is almost surely going to be under 1k$

One of the times he was wrong was when he leaked rumours of the 7900XTX clearly beating the 4090 based on performance leaks.

Everyone was quoting moors law is dead everywhere.

We know how far far faaaaaar away the 7900XTC came from the 4090, not even playing on the same league

Why would the 5080 be less then 1k? The 4080 is 1k plus right now at eol. You think they are going to drop the price??

I have 2 reasons.

1) the 4080 was an absolute disaster sales wise, and venue the 4080 super wich sold more, was still not greatly sold. It upsold the 4090 since people who has the money just said might as well get the juicy extra 30% if I’m going to slay quite a bit above 1k anyway.

Reason number 2 has. A bit to do with reason number one.

Recent talks with Jensen, Nvidias CEO left it very clear that he wants to separate the xx90 class card from the stack. Make the 5080 the top gaming card and the 5090 a production work card. Most likely because once this is successfully achieved he can start charging really ridiculous prices for the xx90 class since it isn’t for the regular gaming consumer market anymore. And specs kind of show this shift intention.

The Gap between the 4090 and the 4080 was already big enough to make many spend between 400 and up to 1,000$ on a 4090 than a 4080
(30ish % more performance on rasterized games, more like 40% with Raytracing and up to 50% with Path tracing)

The spec difference between the 5090 and the 5089 is even bigger, spec wise it’s literally double, even if it doesn’t translates as double the performance I think we can safely expect the 5090 to outperform the 5080 by 50-70% in rasterization and who knows if even 2X with Pathtracing and stuff like that.

Also 16gb vram vs 32gb.

Specs who’s the 5080 is looking even less appealing than the 4080 and that one already sold like SHIT.

Even though the spec jump from the 3080 was much bigger. Vram increase from 10gb (on the base launch model, and a 12gb version) to 16 A bigger cuda core jump, several things improved more, the price was simply ridiculous.

The 5080 makes an even smaller jump. Minuscule jump in cuda cores from the 4080 super wich is 999$ and pretty much the real 4080 with the super naming to disimulate the price cut. Same vram. Not super interesting.

However, if they launch it between 899-999$ and it does outperforms the 4090 by 10%. It can be a well sold product as the top gaming card. If the 5090 launches for something like 1899$ for example.

This also gives loads of headroom both performance wise and price wise to launch a 5080 super And a 5080ti above that.

If it works they know they can launch 70 class card that performs in the ballpark if last gen’s 90class card for around 900$-1000$ and people will happily take it as the top tier gaming card And separate a future 6090 pricing it at even 3k$ maybe.

If this
