just seen a photo/screenshot on "X" which shows an ASUS 5080 GDDR7 DLSS4 priced at €1,699,95 which is approx £1.4k

How much was an Asus 4080 on launch? That doesn't even sound like much of a price increase, if any, once you take off the Asus tax.

Plus EU cards were a touch more expensive than here last Gen.
I remember the Suprim and Rog tax was like +£350-500 on launch from the FE/launch versions for the 4090's. It was about +£50-100 if buying in America lol.

No price increase for the 5080 surely means no price increase for the 5090

What uplift % is expected this Gen ?

Looks like 70% of the forum is ready to eat some humble pie! But I won't quote my price prediction posts *just* yet.

Still too early to be sure of anything. 4090 was only like £400 more than the 4080 at launch, but it also only had 68% more cores and 50% more VRAM.
If the leaks are accurate, the 5090 has 100% more cores and 100% more VRAM compared to the 5080.
Could end up being double the price

1.4k pounds for an asus probably translates into $1.2k usd as the MSRP for the 5080

Personally I don't want the best at any price, it has to be reasonable. If were much north over 2k I'll go with the 5080 instead, if the 5080 is over £1300 I'll go back to the 4090.
So there's always options. I'm playing Returnal at 1440p and FF7 at 4k and there running fine with only 8gb vram at the moment! Worst case is one or two outliers I may need to reduce a setting on in the future. I can live with that for substantial savings.
The monitor market is helping Nvidia here as well. The onslaughts of new high resolution with high refresh rate OLED screens hitting the market is tempting people because these new screens need very powerful GPUs to drive - if someone is buying a new 1440p 500hz or 4k 240hz OLED monitor then they will want to hit those refresh rates and the 5090 becomes more appealing
Linus for example spent the last two years gaming on a 7900xtx because he refused to to support Nvidia's price for the 4090, but now even he has already said he's buying a 5090 no matter what it costs because his new OLED monitor needs it

Nobody needs any of these cards. You could probably stick with what you have for another 5 years and not have to miss out on any game that comes out between now and then with a tweak of the settings or a drop in resolution.
You don't want that though. You want 4K with shiny lights and visible neurals

Thats true. Even HDMI 2.1 has gone from 120fps max to 144fps max.
I'm happy ideally with 80-90 for the type of games I play.
This and it includes me!

I could get a 5080 and have £1000 extra to add to my surround sound setup for example.

Ah but then you have to worry about 16GB VRAM being enough. Imagine the sleepless nights. Not worth the £1000 saving
Worst thing I ever did for my wallet was buy a 4K screen
I saw that too and the post says net of tax, so £1680 with VAT. Take £100 off the net price for ROG tax so maybe other AIBs £1560. Possibly £1399 for FE if there is one.
Anyway only 3 days to wait now for the details.

Better figure out how to daisy chain PSUs in that case.
It's looking more and more like a £1200 RRP for 5080 is probable. It's also sounding like it will be -10-15% 4090 performance (with less VRAM). An anemic flagship card designed to reduce production and component costs to the utmost while "encouraging" buyers to upgrade to the mid-cycle refresh. "4080 12GB", second attempt.
Edit: Just noticed TPU's spec pages have been updated with prices. Take this for what it's worth, but they're usually right on the mark:
5090 - $2500
5080 - $1300
