Yeah but how much will 5080/5070 be price jacked haha
And I want to build soon! And ill need a waterblock!
FYI if you are looking to buy this, this specific card doesn't have a dedicated WB that would fit it as far as I'm aware. Wasn't able to find anything straight-cut online about whether a reference-sized WB would fit this and I'm assuming this isn't 1:1 to a reference PCB.
Jacked up to $9090…
All specs excluding the 5090 look underwhelming and absolutely not worth the money for a small incremental increase in performance. Nvidia is cucking us all. They only significantly increased the power of the highest priced card.
And 5090 sucks 550watt. If you don't go bankrupt buying it you'll definitely go bankrupt paying the electricity bills.
are you able to share the source? I'm thinking to sell my 4090 before the launch of the 5000 series card
January: 16 GB RTX 5080 ($1700ish, hopefully cheaper), 32 GB RTX 5090 ($3400ish, not worth it for gaming)
February: 18 GB RTX 5070, maybe 24 GB RTX 5080 (3GB GDDR7 chips)
March: 12 GB RTX 5060
Possible at this stage that RTX 5080 will launch with 24 GB after the entire line-up has been effectively delayed 3 months due to enterprise Blackwell design issue and related chip demand.
$1700 RRP on the 5080 is a pipe dream. And if even if it were to happen, if the 5080 performs considerably better than the 4080 there'd be such high demand at that price that the RRP would be unobtainium and we'd see retail prices over 2k.
Intel and AMD are basically all launching in the same time frame, and attacking the midrange. The 5080 is basically half the chip size of the 5090 - but probably 60-67% of the performance - to account for the fact that consumers cannot afford these silicon prices, and that intense level of competition that will exist in the sub-$800 USD market.
There's every possibility a 16 GB RTX 5080 could actually be considerably cheaper, it will just come down to what new hardware features they have that the competitors don't. I'd imagine a 24 GB model would come in at around $100-$150 USD more expensive (before tax & additional logistics/retail overhead).
For example, if NVIDIA have done something with frame generation that removes the latency penalty, that would allow them to price their cards significantly higher if AMD and Intel haven't done similar.
By the time we're into March, enterprise 4nm demand will be winding down and NVIDIA's next enterprise offerings using TSMC 3nm will be announced, which means more and cheaper fab space for consumers. Then over time you're seeing more silicon fab plants open across the world to boost supply again.
It's the 5090 that will have absurd pricing, because of how difficult the chip will be to make, and the performance it will offer for small business, labs, and people crunching AI workloads at home.
yeah, but then the drama is delay, shortage and rrp is low + rocket high price from retailers …
HODL!!!
How long? I need a new PC and want to pull the pin… now. Or just HODL for GPUs?
5000 series are just weeks away.
Computer Parts Land also had this card listed for $1579. Fake sale price at Scorptec.
I was a HODL’er but I caved and have been enjoying my upgraded graphics since early February 2024.
Prices haven’t moved that much since I got it.
nVIDIA is and will take you for every dollar in your wallet, while paywalling the performance to cards it can charge a premium for.
It's more that the production cost of the silicon isn't shifting because of all the demand for AI acceleration at the enterprise level, so retail stock levels stay low and price levels stay high despite lukewarm consumer demand. At this point they've actually stopped producing anything for consumers but the smallest chip in the line-up (AD107), and the 4090 and 4080-related chips (AD102 and AD103) have been gone for a while now.
Overall consumer pricing can't remain like this without consequences, so don't subscribe or pay for crappy AI services and it will eventually crash back to earth a bit. NVIDIA will remain fine as a company because production volumes will continue to increase over the next few years, but we - as consumers - will see the greatest benefits.
Throw in Intel and AMD line-ups launching at the same time - now both with capable AI acceleration and RT functionality - and you've got a recipe for an amazing mid-range battle. It'll get even more competitive again when the enterprise demand shifts over to TSMC 3nm in H2 2025.
At this point just hodl, the price isn't that much better given time from launch and the new cards will have at least one value king and that card is almost guaranteed to have more performance than this card.
and then 6000 series out, then 7000, 8000, and 9000s.
At the absolute latest, NVIDIA will be showing off the 5000 series at CES, which is the first week of January (their keynote date and time has already been announced).
You'll see the 5090 and 5080 launch 2-3 weeks after that. Originally it was all supposed to be about September-October, but enterprise design and demand issues created a delay. The comments saying to wait are justified when it's 8-9 weeks away in this price bracket.
When is cyber Monday? Today?
2nd of December, but you'll see some Black Friday sales kicking off later this week despite the day itself being the 29th.
These prices … So glad I picked up a 6800xt when they're were clearing out at $800. NVIDIA can shove that pricing where the sun don't shine.
you are better off with $1100k 4070ti, its gets all the DLSS 3.0 +, its great for VR, ray tracing
i have 6800xt and its a great card for 1440p but not if you want to use RT, or any other fancy stuff
i dont get 4080 cards, they are marginally better then 4070ti s in 4k, in 2k its 20 fps which is not noticeable at all
why would you buy this card? for 4 k gaming and you cant afford 4090? then why just not game in 2k for what you dont need this card
HODL! RTX 5000 series less than a month to go (in the new year)
