4080 price drop?
- Thread starter Xelene
- Start date
It would be what it should have been.
Perhaps 4090 should have been £1k & 4080 £750.
while it still would be an increase from prevoius gen but most would still have been happy with it , but nooo nvidia decided to double it dont see any justification only pure greed
Would never happen, the 3090 in the UK was £1499 at launch, so a 4090 with 3x the performance at £1k would be absolute madness
only added £100 which is fair enough cant upset the ones that buy the highest tier , but look below what they have done

You can't look at prices during the mining boom, and think that those prices apply to people who just want to game on a GPU.Would never happen, the 3090 in the UK was £1499 at launch, so a 4090 with 3x the performance at £1k would be absolute madness

The 3090 was only what 10-20% faster than the 3080, which was £650.
The 4090 is well ahead of the 4080 this time, so ok that card is expensive. But where is the value proposition this time? All you can get for £650 is the 4070 which only equals the 3080 for performance so no progress at all.

Appears to back up people's thoughts on the £800 being what the 4080 should have been.

their pricing strategy has worked wonders on you i see
I agree, but this is the world we live in, and right now if you want the best gaming and producivity GPU, then this is the only option, which is still much cheaper than last gen's flagship card - Plus there is no competition this gen at the top end of the scale. Hell there isn't even competition at the 4070 end of the scale so no wonder prices are what they are.
With Intel's XeSS beating FSR, and AMD not having anything to go against frame generation, and having generation old RT cores whilst still wanting 4 figures for their top GPU... It's just a messy scene.

If the 4080 was £800 I'd want it around £650.
Considering today's prices, £800 is good.

£1589 currently listed through Nvidia site, launched at over £1600...
So yes, given the spec to price to real world perf difference, it is good value for the performance on offer. It is better value than any of the other 40 series cards too relative to their respective price to performance ratio.
tbf the 3090ti launched in mining **** so could have cost 5k and as long as roi on it was decent they would have sold
