Wonder if they'll edit out the boos from the audience when Jensen announces the price:p

This would be funny to see but we all know the presentation will just get some minor applause at worst..

Jensen can take all of my possessions if he reveals one of these for sale

The queue went on for much longer then 3 months I seem to recall some people preordering and waiting an insane amount of time. Those heady GPU shortage days.

Yea that shortage basically never ended until the LHR models were released. And by then the mark-up, even at brick and mortar stores, was scalper-esque.

I was mining with the most random hodgepodge of cards in history because I refused to pay above MSRP(or at least within like 100 bucks of it)

6700xt - got it day of release from memexpress before they jacked price up, was actually a great pick-up, 600 CDN and mined for like 2 years @ 48 or whatever it was, big beautiful XFX Qick model or something, I liked this card a lot actually, sold for 400 or something when I got 4080

3070

3060ti - sold for more than I paid for it after a year of mining

5700 - non xt, another champ, got it off kijiji for 400 CDN mined at 53? I think and it's still powering my nephew's PC

1660super - this thing was good for like 31.8 on like no energy used cause hynix memory underclock thing, still in my back-up PC

2070 -underrated miner, did like 44? with a heavy overclock and still running my best friends PC

1060 6gb lol - EVGA card, was a nice card, got it for 200 off kijiji, mined @ like 25? for like 4 months then sold it for 350

1660 - the card that was in my PC when I first tried mining, I mined on it for like 6 months then sold for more than I paid for it

I feel like I'm forgetting a couple. IDK why but I had fun with that mining. Actually made a nice little bit of side-cash.

I remember arguing with people in the months prior to the eth fork or whatever it was again, I was saying everyone should sell their stuff, but people were telling me mining had survived before and it would survive this, and another coin would rise up and take its place. Did that happen? Is mining profitable? I haven't checked in since I got rid of my rig.

Even in the days leading up to the eth fork, there were still people buying scalped price mining rigs of 3070's, paying like 15 grand that I really doubt they got back.
 
So I have dipped with the last four Nvidia generations.

1)1080ti
2)2080
3)3080 (10gb)
4)4090

And to be honest I am already firm that I will get the 5090 when its released.

Price is one thing, but the biggest hurdle to me will be getting my hands on one.

In India, dropping most of a years median salary on a GPU doesn't do much to drive demand or crucially supply in the country, so I am absolutely niche and will inevitably have to go through the resellers market.

I will probably have to get a new PSU as well, the rumour of a 600W draw from the wall, and my 1000W supply might not offer me a lot of overhead.

Can't take anything he says seriously. He just comes across as another whiner, moaning that everything is too expensive and how much cheaper it used to be.

That's the world these days, deal with it.

It is pretty bleak though. Their only high end GPU is 3k canadian. Their old 70 series operation now gets pumped at 1.8k canadian a pop. You have to spend 1200 to get anything usable, and even then, it's only with DLSS, which looks ok on a flat screen but absolutely falls apart if you get a look at the assets in VR

If this is just normal tech inflation, how come the rest of my stuff was all perfectly fine in price? Why does 1 component cost twice as much as the rest of the computer combined? I know it's because it can, and does. But yea, you can't be happy about a 1 horse market. Cheering on a monopoly is an odd look. If you own nvidia stock, then I understand it - but still bro, you should be able to compartmentalize that stuff.
 
If you price everything in worthless fiat, everything gets more expensive over time. A 4090 was about 1oz of gold at launch ($1650) - I'd not be surprised if it's 1oz of gold this time too - $2650 odd

Or if crypto is your thing, a 4090 was 0.084BTC, a $2500 RRP for the 5090 would be 0.026BTC - number go down...

I'd also imagine a 5090 costs fewer Nvidia shares than a 4090 did...

I'm not quite sure what your point is here. All computer components have gone up in price. The price increases for GPUs are far in excess of any other components.

My point is mostly that even if they were re-launching the 4090 today, it would have to be priced 15-20% higher in £/$ than it was in 22 at launch, so folks expecting prices similar to last time are probably in for a nasty surprise.

And yes, the ticket prices of GPUs seem to be rising faster than other bits, but they are the most complex 'single component' these days, and AI is hoovering up the high end (as crypto mining once did)...

Is the price per-frame-per-second really getting worse from generation to generation?
