4080 price drop?

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 :p
 
£800 for a 4080 would be exceptional value I believe, I'm more than happy with the 4080 at £800.

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

only added £100 which is fair enough cant upset the ones that buy the highest tier , but look below what they have done :(

Yeah the rest of the range require questions being answered for sure!

You can because the pricing structure hasn't change going forwards 2-3 years on now, and leather jacket guy stated that lower prices are history.

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.

Still doesn't explain how prices for the 2nd tier die have jumped from £469 > £1200 in one generation.
 
Yeah only the 4090 price makes sense and is actually goo £ per frame considering what it is. The rest of the range are ridiculously priced.
 
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.

I see this sentiment multiple times a day and it's absolutely insane. Stop doing nvidia's marketing for them. It is not good value.

£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 :D
 
The 3090 released in 2020 at £1500 didn't it so isn't much better at all!
