You missed "thousand" at the end.
From a gamer perspective - maybe. Problem is that if the leaked specs are true then the level of demand for the 5090 from ML users will exceed even what we saw for the 3090 during covid crypto mining boom.
I reckon this is a good estimate. Looking at the specs, the difference between the 5090 and 5080 is even bigger than the 4090 and 4080, so a bigger difference in price makes sense too.
Prices aren't always directly proportional to performance though - quite common for thr halo product to cost disproportionately more than models lower down the chain. I think with the RTX 4090 Nvidia has basically proved that people will be lining up to throw money at them for top of the line products, and with all the AI demand too I'm not sure they will have much motivation to price it 'competitively', whatever that means when they don't have any competition at that end of the market.
Yeah true. Still I think it would push me to get a 5080 in that case. I don't want to pay close to double the price for that little performance jump. Makes the decision similar to a 3080/3090 a while ago, where the top tier just wasn't worth the premium.
