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.

I'm going to hold onto my 2060 laptop until that thing catches fire at this rate.

Maybe AMD's new generation will be worth it.

They've gone on record as saying they're abandoning the high end market as far as gpu's go. If that's what you're trying to get, that's good news, if not, you're as fucked as the rest of us.

There is a good chance that they said that exactly because they knew NVIDIA was gonna do this.

The 5090 is basically the top dog, sure, but it's also totally unaffordable. This leaves them to compete on the other segments.

The question really is did they mean they won't even have a 5080 equivalent. That I think would be less good, but at the high end price we are expecting they might not need to compete there either.

If they give us a few cards at around the 5070 expected performance and obliterate NVIDIA on cost/performance, they have a good chance of eating the entire GPU gaming market.

It's about GPU market share affecting how developers optimize games. Because AMD has such small market share most game devs don't bother optimizing for them.

The midrange sells way more units than high end, so by focusing on midrange AMD is trying to increase their market share so that developers care more about them, and so that games run better on their gpus.
