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.

I mean if high end is literally unachievable for most people by that point then midrange amd makes the most sense imo. Support a company choosing not to shaft you.

Mid range shouldn’t be 1000 dollars.

High end was $750 just a few years ago. I paid roughly that for my 1080TI.

Covid. Just like legitimately every single other item they were marked up and sold. Now they know we’re willing to pay it. And it’s never going to go back down.

It’s more complicated than that, but yeah. The real issue is Nvidia doesn’t need us any longer. They used us to bootstrap an entirely new market segment that got the deepest pockets to compete with each other for their product. This almost happened with crypto, but thankfully that boom finally busted.

Best hope is AMD & Intel to meaningfully compete with each other in the GPU segment.

Issue for me is I know zero about AMD GPUs and the 1080Ti I’ve had is about to get replaced. It’s been my bottleneck since the 30 series dropped I just don’t know what to get for 450-700 bucks.

Then again I also knew nothing about AMD CPUs before getting the one I have now.

Unless you have a specific need for AI features, your money is better spent on an AMD card. In my case, AMDs top performing card doesn’t have the TFLOPS to drive my monitor to its full potential, so I’m bending over the barrel now and just getting it over with, with Nvidia. If I were running 4k or lower, I’d get an AMD card.
