NVIDIA RTX 50 SERIES - Technical/General Discussion

2.2k max, but if the 5080 is 1k or more cheaper than maybe go for that instead.

And then when you consider on paper 5070Ti looks only a smidge slower than 5080, maybe that would be even better option if much cheaper still.

 

[Tinek]

Depends entirely on the performance uplift over the 4090 and what new features they're adding.

I don't see myself paying over £2.5k regardless though.

If I had to choose between new GPU for £2.5k+ and new telescope... I don't even like most of the new games as is anyway.

I'd say the correct way to look at it would be the logical way. But, people will buy them anyway, based purely on emotion - that is what the whole modern marketing machine has been created for, after all.

Neighbourhood women beware!!!!

How much is everyone willing to pay for thw 5090? ..

Under £2K, should get a reasonable amount for my 4090, but will come down to what the 5090 offers with it's new AI Rendering mode and DLSS, or if it has another trick up it's sleeve.

Yeah Moon, beware!

There's the time factor added into any Ti variations. In any case 16gb vram is definitely my hard limit. Nvidia are usually annoyingly accurate at including *just* the right amount of vram despite us all wanting more.

If they come up with some total rubbish excuse to lock new tech away from 4090, I'm switching back to AMD just to spite them! ;p After all, there's hardly anything new in Blackwell that is missing from 4000 series.

Let's see some predictions.

5090 £1749
5080 £999

At this price point the 5090 justifies it's big uplift.and more vram with similar margins to the 4090.

5080 customers have now been conditioned to see this as a huge bargain. Easily marketable 4090+ performance for less than grand.

 

[AStaley]

If it's little more than a speed bump over the 4090 I'll be tempted to skip it, I have more than enough tucked away for an entire rebuild and I already know I'm skipping this generation of CPU (AMD/Intel) and quite probably the next releases, so quite happy to skip the 5090 as well if it doesn't offer anything new.

Add min. £500 to both You forgot about inflation (over 12% from 4000 release time I believe), as that by itself makes same prices as last time very unlikely. Plus performance won't be 4090+, it will be below 4090D - there's no 4080D planned for China export after all.

Nah. Hopeful but.... Nvidia is going to mug everyone for every penny they can.
5090 £2500
5080 £1749

 

[Hostile_18]

We shall see! I personally think that would bomb after the day 1 sales. But if anyone has the balls it's Nvidia.

What would possibly justify a 5080 more than last gens 4090 looking at the spec sheet though? To me that seems crazy lol.

Monopoly - they can dictate prices as they want, as where else will people go? Intel? Anyway, you responded too quickly, I added more there. Most serious point - inflation. You forgot about it and it's much higher than people imagine since 4000 series released. Just by that alone add min. 10% to premiere 4000 series prices.

4090 not being produced and not in stock anymore. That's enough - your can't compare prices to not existing product

 

[StarShock]

I think the 5080 will be around 1200. But genuinely can the the 5090 being 2500 because "it's for ai, not for gaming"

5090 £1749
5080 £999

Yes. This is the correct answer. @JensenTheJacketMan listen to this poster please.

This seems close to accurate the more I think about it, I can sell my pre-owned 4090 for £1400+ right now if the 5080 matches or surpasses it, it can command 1200-1500 brand new probably.

Hopefully not though

FG was handy but locking it out from previous gens was typical form. DLSS 3 wasnt really a great excuse to justify on its own. Waiting to see what lock outs features are heading in this gen in January!
