How's more hustle to buy something on a credit card that perhaps you already have? I have 0 interest on it, why would I buy anything with money down when I can spread the cost over multiple pays and actually get a "discount" due to inflation plus a nice credit score? In my country we had in 2022 a 13.8% inflation and in 2023 a 10.4% - the official one at least. If I've got something on a 2 years payment plan, right there is a hefty discount!

Just because its 0% interest doesn't mean there isn't a cost. Plenty won't pay with a credit card (debit card charges are much, much lower), so say it costs the retailer 3% for those that use a credit card and typically 1/3rd of customers use one then they would probably add 1.5% to the cost of everything (need to have a bit of leeway in case credit card usage goes up a bit).

That potential cost is already in the price, doesn't matter if you pay cash, debit or credit card.

On that basis even those not using a 0% CC will pay the extra so you may as well ;) Besides everyone seems to gouge these days so 1.5% is neither here nor there.

Blackwell will be first gaming GPUs to use 32 Gbps GDDR7 memory. RTX 5080 will feature 16GB 32 Gbps GDDR7 memory provide 1024GB/s bandwidth, slight faster than RTX 4090's 1008GB/s bandwidth. RTX 5090 will feature 32GB 32 Gbps GDDR7 Memory provide 2048GB/s bandwidth.

Oof, better start selling kidneys for that 5090 folks!!! Nvidia pushing those speeds, nice :cool:
 
Going off the leaked specs it looks like the 4080 12gb is being reincarnated as the 5080.

What would you class as a bargain for a 4090?

Hard to tell without seeing 5090/5080 prices.

The 3090 dropped from £1400 quickly to about £600/700 but it was too close in performance to the 3080 right from the start.

I expect the 4090 might fair a little better especially if the 5090 is 2k+.
