That statement is exactly why the price won't be lowered.
Nvidia have every reason to keep the 4080FE price exactly where it is.

The "Sapphire Radeon RX 7900 XTX Nitro+ Vapor-X" looks absolutely stunning. Any insight on stock levels with this one ? @Gibbo ??

I guess we know why Gibbo said earlier in this thread or another that come Feb prices might lower. Come Feb they won't have a choice as all the cards will still be sat on the shelves!

I shall be sticking with my 3080 also, this generation from both manufacturers has to be the worse I think I've ever seen. The 4090 is really the only next gen worthy card while everything else is mid range rubbish for premium pricing.This generation's pricing can get in the bin. I'm going to go and give my 3080FE a hug and re-assure it it's still got a few years left in my pc
I actually really like the reference design tbh.. That and the Asus 7900XTX TUF OC.
Possibly.. Hopefully not within seconds and will give the ones who want one a chance to get one before the bots and scalpers move in.

For 1080£ these cards will be on the shelves for a looooooooong time.
Gibbo will have to throw in a lot of Haribos to make them shift.
Like a trucks worth... lol

scalpers aint touching these.
Seems to be £1049 for the XTX non OC.
Only £150 more for a 4080FE, may struggle.. I'm tempted slightly though as most games I play AMD has the advantage.
Ironically the 7900 XT (not XTX) would give a decent upgrade for me with a 3080. About 35% - 40% faster at 4K in raster and faster in RT for the very rare occassions I enable it. If it were £700 I would be happy with one. Well other than the terrible multiple monitor power consumption, that has to be a bug AMD.
Considering relative raster and RT performance I would give the 4080 the nod if I were spending £1100 - £1200 on a GPU. The only potential saving grace for the 7900 XTX is if it is £150 cheaper than a 4080.

I just had a quick look at the reviews. So the RTX7900XT is bit faster overall in rasterisation(but slower than the AMD slides implied) than an RTX4080,but the latter is about 15% to 20% faster in RT according to TPU. It seems the RT uplift is actually much larger than I expected since it seems to be slightly better than an RTX3090TI according to TPU:

It seem's the uplift in RT is greater than the uplift in rasterised performance!Still overpriced like the rest of them!
AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX Review - Disrupting the GeForce RTX 4080
Navi 31 is here! The new $999 Radeon RX 7900 XTX in this review is AMD's new flagship card based on the wonderful chiplet technology that made the Ryzen Effect possible. In our testing we can confirm that the new RX 7900 XTX is indeed faster than the GeForce RTX 4080, but only with RT disabled.

Some absolute ****ing nutter will def try, guaranteed
Well the reveiws have sunk in and AMD have done the impossible and made the 4080 look like a decent card. If the 4080/4090 did not have a frankenstein fatboy PCB I would be ordering one right about now. As it is I think I will stick with my current gpu.
What is really turning me off the 7900 is the many and varied bugs including the high idle power draw. I normally do not mind bugs as i think they will be fixed but I do not want to be a beta tester and find out it cannot be fixed.
