ISTM that these cards are massively overpriced and AMD are making the mistake about which Gamers Nexus warned. These cards should be £hundreds cheaper. These cards are apparently only mildly faster than a RTX 3080 - or about the level of a putative RTX 5060.

Put the RX 7600 at £199, the 9070 at £299, and the XT at £399.

£650 is the new £400

And so what? AMD needs to get people to buy these cards and build market share. They need to be significantly cheaper than Nvidia’s cards.

They don't need to do anything.

Why do pc hardware enthusiasts feel so entitled lol.

I see you go for the big bucks 3090 and 4090 ? I'm a peasant so want most value for money and it's certainly looking like AMD is providing me that

3080 - 4090 - 5090, each time buying at MSRP (3080 was +£25) and selling for nearly the same, so upgrading is not as costly as it looks
£300 to upgrade from 4090 to 5090, so I gamed on it for over a year and a half, then sold it for more than it cost.

Once you splash out once, subsequent upgrades cost less than buying mid-range or even upper range cards so in the long run you get better value for money.
High end hold their value a lot better and you get to game with higher settings & refresh rates. Yes, the initial purchase stings, but after that the total cost of ownership is very similar, if not better.

That's not always true though, look at the 2080ti for instance. If the 6000 series is far better then I think the 5090 could be worth c£1000 and that's quite a large loss (£1500 in some cases) for 2 years of use.

Yes there's always a best time to sell and it seems for past few generations it has been near launch day.

You done well good luck sustaining that , like I said I have set budget much much lower and I play at 1440p single player I don't need super high FPS , and online games are much less demanding , so what's available at my budget looks like AMD are offering the best deal

Even if the 6000 series is better in performance and efficiency Nvidia will charge a massive premium for that. I've done the same as Dave built up each gen at a relatively small upgrade cost.

Are you still peddling your value for money message. :rolleyes: Have you got that saved on notepad and do a copy and paste each time ? ^ You forgot to include what it cost you from 3080 > 4090.

That was costly, but the 3080 sold well. Plus having the 3080 from launch meant I was able to mine with it for 20hrs per day through the mining boom so it paid for it's self multiple times which softened the 4090 purchase quite a bit

LOL, in this case, yes...
If the 4090 to 5090 cost £300, then when it's time to sell the 5090, as long as it is worth £300 more than a 4090 it will have been the sensible choice.

And that's before you add in any perceived value from enjoying the extra performance.

The fact that your primary argument got dismantled and you came back with a "so what do it anyway" is a wild move. Selling the 90 series cards at that price they wouldn't even get the money back they spent to make them.
