People still haven't figured out (or accepted) that MLID is simply making crap up and whatever leaks he actually gets are the kind that are a few days out from press release or been widely shared across all outlets (f.ex. PS5 Pro). Anything months out, or involving Nvidia, is no more than pure fabrication. To look at a supposed price leak months out, and with a $500 range and think "oh gee, this seems legit" is quite simply stupid.
 
theres gotta be a secret sauce nvidia are holding back. if you pair this with the latest news of intels new CPU's being less powerful then the previous gen (but more efficient) id be willing to beat theres some sort of nvidia intel collab software that utilises the NPU for AI thats gonna rammed down everyones asses in the next few years...
 
maybe the leaked specs were aligned to this thinking and are in fact a complete speculative fabrication based on that metric.... food for thought? I know what I'm going with :)
That would be my guess too, although hard to believe Nvidia wouldn’t do it given zero competition in the space.

For my own upgrades sake, I’m hoping the 5080 is worthwhile, otherwise will just wait it out.
 
I would have hoped that the price of the 5090FE was more aligned to the price of the 4090FE, maybe a hundred quid or so more and I would have considered parting my 4090 for one. But at two grand, nope.

Additionally, if they call it the RTX Titan (which has also been rumoured) just to inflate it's price, then I'll steer well clear as I have always associated Titan cards as being a mug's game, a total rip-off.
 
Haven't been following the development of the 5XXX series at all, so sorry if this has been discussed. But have there been any announcements (or even educated guesses) regarding improvements/changes to the power connector for these?

Remember....
 
I think he realised what he was doing and where that kind of spending was going to take the hobby.

He also loved EVGA cards, especially the Kingpin's, so when they went I think it was a big blow. Watercooling cards and overclocking them isn’t really what it used to be either.
So what you are saying is he is solely at fault for Nvidia's insane pricing structure? I knew it! People to the pitchforks!!

and for the dull among us.. /joke
 
This hobby can be the definition of the law of diminishing returns. You have to buy and sell at the right times, and understand when turning a setting down just saved you £500, for no discernible difference in IQ

If you have big money you're probably doing more than just sitting in your pants playing video games
 
@mrk I'd forgotten about the Titan V.

I also didn't know there has already been a Titan RTX.

At £3k for the Titan V and £2.5k for the Titan RTX, compared to the £1.6k for the 4090 I can only assume Nvidia sold a lot more 4090's. Hopefully they have confined the Titan to history and realised there is a price ceiling people are prepared to pay.

Titans came with extra functionality and support that the gaming cards didn't. It's not quite fair to compare an xx90 as a titan. It's not apples to apples.
