5090 Price

[PaulW]

"The more you buy, the more you save". Cant wait to find out what the new Jenson 2025 slogan is this year.
Maybe it will be "its cooling better cos its Nvidia air, not standard air, our air is better"

 

[brostradamus]

but the product is straight up better, lording over the competition, the man doesnt even need to give out review samples, must be a tragedy brewing for youtubers

 

[Raiden85]

Something like that. But don't forget all that extra vram which turned out to be very important.

Same thing is going to happen again. Considering the 5080 will be out for at least two years or a little more, then the lack of VRAM is going to be an issue again. If it had 20GB, then it would have been fine.

Man the 3090ti is actually a brutal card.

It’s surprising they ever released it really. The power draw was immense and it was insanely expensive. I don’t really feel sorry for anyone that bought one though, it was obvious it was going to be exceeded in every way by the incoming generation.

 

[rare]

I honestly think a lot of posters here would spend like 800 bucks more on 10% performance as long as it was the top dog of the stack

Thing is with the 5090 you get DOUBLE the vram over the next product in the stack. That’s not a small thing at all.

The 2080ti was so underwhelming too but at least it had a couple years of bragging I think?

I feel the huge problem the RTX 2080ti had was that the 1080ti very high performance and 11GB of vram was well ahead of it time
(And then you also had the crazy Price difference between the 2080ti vs 1080ti)

I Also wonder if the CPU's that were used to test the RTX 2080ti in reviews in them days were holding it back

I expect the 5080 to out-perform the 4090 in most games.

Just nope, it won't even be close.

 

[jtredux]

If they're not launching the 5090 and 5080 at the same time, I suppose they might just announce the 5080 pricing tomorrow, which would give them some time to decide whether the market really would accept a $2500+ 5090...

 

[Nitefly]

Just nope, it won't even be close.

You don’t think the 5080 will offer 30% more performance than the 4080? I’d be surprised.

 

[TNA]

I was being sarcastic tbf. The extra performance and vram were never worth the asking price. As I recall it was just FC6 with its optional texture pack and maybe one other crappy AMD sponsored game that I don't remember that made use of the extra vram.

Then then the 4000 series came out and most of the people who got the 3090 upgraded to the 4090 anyway

 

[TNA]

Saying that though. If the 5080 is £1200 or more, yeah, it should have more than 16GB in 2025.

But Nvidia know what they are doing sadly.

You said 4090 though

 

[RavenXXX2]

Anything near a grand should be min 20 +gb. Can't get excited for stuff that costs stupid amounts. The AMD reveal holds more interest for me.

 

[Joxeon]

You don’t think the 5080 will offer 30% more performance than the 4080? I’d be surprised.

Depends on clock speed, the shader uplift for the 5080 seems very similar between the 3080>4080 but the 4080 had a 50% clock speed increase which would mean the 5080 needs to clock in at 3.7ghz to give it a similar +50% performance increase.

I think 25-30% is doable with a 3.2ghz clock though although no doubt Nvidia will be pushing some AI tech like FG to obscure the actual numbers.

 

[marcus_667]

for gamers sake i do hope they price the 5080 like the 3080 did get although with actual stock, but i know deep down this is going to be a £1000-£1600 card.

 

[Nitefly]

You said 4090 though

Yes, I know.

The 4090 offers about 30% performance over the 4080.

I expect the 5080 to offer more than 30% performance over the 4080.

I therefore expect the 5080 to outperform the 4090 in most games.

Yes, I’m expecting there is some new processing wizardry that is going to get around ‘raw hardware stats’ making the difference and get the performance.

 

[Raiden85]

Knowing Nvidia, I'd expect the 5080 to have maybe 10 to 15% performance increase over the 4090 if we’re lucky, which is great for me as it may keep my 4090 resale value quite decent.

 

[brostradamus]

the specs dont add up somehow, i think it will be a marginal improvement over 4080 super, lets see how its priced
the fact theres no hype and we are so close to the reveal, no leaks, nothing, i feel this is going to be a big downer of all times

 

[Bidley]

One cause for optimism is past price/perf increases. Historically it seems like Nvidia give us a good price/perf increase every other generation;

900>1000 good, 1000>2000 bad, 2000>3000 good, 3000>4000 bad. Maybe 5000 will follow the trend?
