Yeah the reason why the 4090 sold well was that it had a big perf increase over a 3090 with only a small price bump so if the perf increase for a 5090 is less while the price bump is large then I doubt it’ll be very popular.
This gen also had a lot of people step up to the 4090 who generally...
Had AMD come to market last year with their current prices they would have won the generation and I’d be rocking a Radeon in my PC right now but in the end it’s to late in the day now as most people who were going to buy have already bought and most likely went Nvidia as the price difference...
4090 pricing was influenced by the 3090ti flopping at $2000. The 4090 launched over 2 months before AMD came to market so Nvidia wouldn't have known prices and would have only had a rough idea of performance considering even AMD didn't seem to know their own cards performance given their pre...
I had some memory issues a few years back that were causing crashing in games, running Memtest never picked it up though as it was temp related and the ram would only start to throw errors when it was heated up by the GPU.
That said 25 days and still counting is a very poor turn around time.
These are what the prices that should have been a year ago.
I wonder how many potential AMD customers just sucked it paid over the odds last year for Nvidia as AMDs pricing was just as bad.
Do you want the laptop for portability or are you just using for gaming at home as if that’s the case a desktop would be better, for context a 4060 laptop gpu isn’t much faster than a desktop GTX1080 from 8 years ago.
MSI wants to overprice cards built from cheap rubbish, even the basic ventus cards are always above MSRP.
My basket at OcUK:
1 x MSI GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER Ventus 2X OC 12GB GDDR6X PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: GRA-MSI-01573) = £599.99
1 x MSI GeForce RTX 4070Ti Ventus 3X OC 12GB GDDR6X...
Maybe on the Nvidia side but AMD is looking much better now that cards like the 7900XT are available for sub £600.
The irony is the 7900XT costs more to make than a 4080 so you can see how massive the mark up is on the Nvidia side.
Called it back last august.
TBH it should have just released at £650 instead of the daft £900 AMD tried charging for it, anyone who bought at or around those prices should feel insulted and ripped off as we are now seeing the true value of the product.
You wont benefit from wifi 6e speeds unless your router supports it, also the router needs to close to the PC as that in itself will effect the speed you get.
Theres a 32gb kit on MM for £45 if you wanted to save a few quid.
If buying new though personally I'd just go with an AM5 refresh, you can get a 7800X3D for not much more than a 5800X3D while new DDR5 isn't much more than DDR4 either.
