£2500 for a GPU?

Not for a while until they increase production, but in the meantime I think the whole saga is damaging the PC scene, if fewer people can get hold of the hardware then it must follow fewer people are buying the software (games).

that is true. I guess it’s difficult as everyone wants semiconductors at the moment

Does it not work on a 3090?

My SLI/NVLINK 3090 build :- https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/posts/34846430/

Yes in supported games with mgpu, for work related it scales amazingly for my work use. There is no SLI profiles anymore, so games must support multi GPU natively.

Explained here :-

NVIDIA SLI Support Transitioning to Native Game Integrations
Updated 09/17/2020 12:31 PM


With the emergence of low level graphics APIs such as DirectX 12 and Vulkan, game developers are able to implement SLI support natively within the game itself instead of relying upon a SLI driver profile. The expertise of the game developer within their own code allows them to achieve the best possible performance from multiple GPUs. As a result, NVIDIA will no longer be adding new SLI driver profiles on RTX 20 Series and earlier GPUs starting on January 1st, 2021. Instead, we will focus efforts on supporting developers to implement SLI natively inside the games. We believe this will provide the best performance for SLI users.

Existing SLI driver profiles will continue to be tested and maintained for SLI-ready RTX 20 Series and earlier GPUs.

For GeForce RTX 3090 and future SLI-capable GPUs, SLI will only be supported when implemented natively within the game.

What DirectX 12 games support SLI natively within the game?

DirectX 12 titles include Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Civilization VI, Sniper Elite 4, Gears of War 4, Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation, Strange Brigade, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Zombie Army 4: Dead War, Hitman, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Battlefield 1, and Halo Wars 2.

What Vulkan games support SLI natively within the game?

Vulkan titles include Red Dead Redemption 2, Quake 2 RTX, Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation, Strange Brigade, and Zombie Army 4: Dead War

How about creative and other non-gaming applications -- will those still support multiple GPUs?

Yes, many creative and other non-gaming applications support multi-GPU performance scaling without the use of SLI driver profiles. These apps will continue to work across all currently supported GPUs as it does today.



Also rumours new 3090 super will not have a NVLINK/SLI connector, so only the original 3090 will do SLI/NVLINK. Guessing they got upset with companies using them in SLI/NVLINk for work instead of buyng the A6000 or their new A-series (Quadro range but not called that anymore).

Still cant get my head round the fact that the £1650 I paid for my TUF 3090 was a good price by todays standards. It's an obscene amount of cash anyways let alone a 50% bump!

Yep same with my Strix i paid £1700 for it and like yourself thought that price was absolutely insane for a gpu let alone the price they are going for now which is £2400+ , crazy thing is that they are actually selling at that price as was 3 in stock yesterday when i posted the strix link now all gone so people are actually willing to pay that price for a gpu . we are absolutely f#^$*d come the 4000 series release , wouldn't be surprised to see the 4090 FE costing £2000 at this rate with aib card around £3000+ :(

I do not think NV have said anything about the 4000 series but AMD have openly said that RDNA3 cards will be an entire tier higher in price than this generation.

£2000 is looking like a standard MSRP for future top tier GPUs imo.

Especially when you consider the 30 percent increase TSMC are charging for each waiter.

nope they haven't said anything about price but i bet they are sitting back watching these 3090 being sold for £2000+ and are thinking ok we under-priced our cards this generation ( they didn't i think they were expensive at msrp tbh ) we wont make that mistake again as people are clearly happy to pay £2000+ for a top tier card :rolleyes:

but yeah going forward i honestly wouldn't be surprised if they are actually £2000+ as much as that will **** me off , just cant see things getting better any time soon with what's going on globally :(
 
Only an idiot would spend over £600 in my opinion. I accepted the GPU market was getting silly when the 1080Ti came out.

The only thing that shocks me these days are peoples reactions to it. Two pages of baffled people so far.

I agree. Even £200 is too much...lol
 
Don't personally care what halo cards are priced at as long as the rest of the line up is reasonably priced. I don't really see a problem if someone wants to take an actual top of the line GPU eek a bit more out of it, stick on a fancy cooler or whatever and slap a premium price tag on it in isolation.
