Given the supposed prices, for me the 5080 at 16gb is a DOA card! i am not paying 1200 for 16gb and somthing half the spec of a 5090! What the heck is Nvidia thinking. they might be able to fool the general consumer but for most of the people on this forum they can see right through it. its a shame as i need a new card with a new system but i am sorely temped to buy a 2nd hand 40 series and wait.
Looks like GTA 6 will cause a fair few 4090 owners to upgrade with its demanding requirements on next gen consoles.
looking at the recent string of pc releases, gta 6 will run 1080p@30 fps on a 5090 - thats if you are lucky
Dont believe so, R* make console games first and PC games second, They know there market it also enables them to make buttery smooth performance on console and a produce a heavily optimized product for the hardware. The PC version of GTA 5 wasn't released until 2 years after the console release and as a Game dev myself I know PC has to many configurations to test for. with consoles you have two (mostly), you know all the specs and can thoroughly test before release.
on paper its only 20-30% faster
As much as I like to take a dig at nvidia I feel this example wouldn't be such a time. The 4090 is a monster GPU and if even that is not enough in a current gen title to run a game at a sort of mainstream resolution with acceptable framerate then perhaps the game itself might be the problem. Could be another Crysis and overuse of certain functions/features? just wondering.
Well the 4090 climbed to $2000 quite easily so if we say that a 5080 is around that performance level then $1200 for a 4090 with 16 GB wouldn't be too outrageous. Plus ofc whatever new features they'll lock to the 5000 series. Imo the 5090 will be perpetually out of stock due to ML and even if it will launch at $2000 it can go to $3000+ with ease, which means further demand on the next best thing i.e. 5080, so price won't go low (<$1000) but I hope I'm wrong.
Bandwidth alone is monstrous and currently what's holding even the 4090 back, 70% more b/w (+extra cores) will put this easily in the 50% faster range.
if you have a 4090 you can sell it for what? IDK the going rate I'm guessing 1200-1500? then add an extra £1000 of your hard earned wages and now have roughly an extra 30fps.
yea I have a 12700k and as considering upgrading, but look at benchmarks even compared to a 9800x3d at 4k, and in non gaming stuff I think the 12700k slapped it.
