That would seem to imply that they're open to learning how to please their customers as opposed to learning how much money they can make from them

Watched, but jeez that guy is the Lebron James of stringing out a video for what could be explained in all of a minute a half LOL. In any case, I'm stable at 1030mv with temps reduced ~4c under load -- looking good.
Feeling better and better about selling my 4090 and picking up this interim 6950xt as I'll have some downtime now to RDNA4 and Blackwell release. Heck, I may sit on this card for a minute until the next gen line up evens out.

No I didn't, I kept my 1080ti in the end. TBH I haven't really bought any new games in the last couple of years, the 1 game I play a lot that could do with a new GPU would be Hell Let Loose, but other than that, all I have is CP2077 which for me was a Day 1 and a buggy mess so I stopped playing i need to go back and play that again.
I would have got the 7900xtx if it launched at 1000, but then it was out of stock and being sold for 1300 plus, that killed my hype and then when I really thought about it, i don't "Need" it. I do have a 4k 144hz but nothing I play religiously requires it, HLL I play on 1440p and still get over 80fps on low, and as I havn't been able to put it on full settings I don't feel like i'm losing out as it's just what i'm used to. In the end I think Samsung ended up with a deal on a 4TB M.2 for £220 so I ended up getting a new hard drive. Today I picked up a 2nd 4k monitor as a secondary screen (only cost me £15 as my last monitor broke and was covered under warrenty)
This time i'm either going to get the 5080 (depending on the price) or the AMD 8800xt i'm more keen on the AMD at the moment as I feel they may just pull another RX380 on us, (we can hope) but only a month to wait.
With GTAVI coming out i'm wanting to upgrade 100% this time, and it makes more sense to do it earlier on, because if it's anything like this gen, i'm going to be waiting a year or more for any price drops if the cycles go the same way at which point my brain just tells me to wait for the next gen.
I would say I do regret not picking up a 6950xt when that was going for 500 hindsight that was an incredible buy and nothing came close to that value since imo (at least until now the cards are being cleared for the new gen.

gta 6 is just going to be gta v with a larger map and a lady protagonist, same old wine, not really excited tbh

You're probably not wrong, though with the endless delays if I do get a 50 series, it probably wont be out until the 70 series anyway so i'd still be able to upgrade and skip a generation

By 60 you mean 600x0??The 60090 will run at it 480p upscaled to 1080p60 xD
Yes sorry for the confusing shorthand..
480p... shirley it won't even have to run any actual graphics.. the AI will just make it all up for you?!?

Me too and unlike most folks, I don't care which company's product that price to performance increase comes from, heck at this rate I'd be happy with Intel if they had a high enough performing card next gen.
But alas, it seems obvious to me that at least for Nvidia, they are happy to let price to performance stagnate.
If a 5090 does 30% better than a 4090 at 30% more cost... it didn't actually improve anything. And from the sounds of it, the lower cards will be far worse.
I'm almost expecting to see regression in price-to-performace from Nvidia. I miss the days when a cheap £300 x70 tier card could compete with the top of the line £1k Titan from previous gen.
Just a pipe-dream now.
I'm not the only one with low expectations it seems. And this is exactly what I think is likely to happen for 50 series, with no effort/competition from Intel/AMD.
Nvidia really living up to the nickname nGreedia some have given them.
It won't be long now to more leaks come out sooner the better ...
Yeah me to buddy. Or a 600 dollar flagship. 1080ti I salute you!
I, like many other, saw the writing on the wall for nvidia a long time ago and therefor I didn't even watch the 4000 series announcement. Didn't care and I was confirmed in my belief that it would be a waste of my time. I think the least Jensen could do after suffocating me for what feels like an eternity of poor jokes and cringe statements is to end it all with some good offerings with matching good prices(for the consumer) but NOPE. We knew that before going in so why bother?
I will most likely only watch the highlights for the 5000 series. I'm curious to see if Nvidia would really gimp the 5080 as much as the leaks claims and I need a laugh to so I'll want to know the price

but if the 5060 ti is 50% faser than 1080 ti for the same price, isnt it a good deal for someone currently using a 1080 ti.. flagship doesnt look like a good benchmark..

Exactly, if I still had my 1080ti, price/performance of the 5000 or 8000 series wouldn't even matter because everything would be significantly faster than my card.
Although, it has taken 4 generations and 8 years to get to this point

Don't expect nVidia to make it obvious that it has been gimped. It'll be all misleading benchmarks, graphs and buzzwords to match. DLSS will be doing 90% of any performance gains, and RT will be producing 90% of any visual improvement, for which DLSS will have to do all the more heavy lifting. I've had enough of their twaddle, and AMD too for not competing. Their clown shows with business suit wolves in leather-clad coats can go do one. and they're continuing with the power connectors that have set people's computers on fire? What a laugh.I will most likely only watch the highlights for the 5000 series. I'm curious to see if Nvidia would really gimp the 5080 as much as the leaks claims and I need a laugh to so I'll want to know the price

My 4090 connecter has given me ZERO issues it's been sayed it's a user error.
I'd love for them once to include a GPU rendering benchmark in their slides, but they won't, because they couldn't do any of those shenanigans you just mentioned to inflate the scores compared to previous generations.

I fully expect the presentation to be a cacaphony of misdirection and massaged performance numbers the likes of which we've never seen. I'd suggest watching for the followung hijinks:
- Features, features, features. AI compute, RT, DLSS, likely some other lipstick. They can't posit raster or power utilization improvements any longer, so they will shoehorn everything else in to fit a narrative
- What actual rendering benchmarks they show will be handpicked and misleading, as usual. But now, every one will be overlaid with DLSS/fake frames to paint a rosier picture. I'd be surprised if they include a single "clean" comparison showing only raster
- Halftime show fireworks that have nothing to do with the actual tech will push the envelope. The comparison between what nV has become and Apple are apt
- Pricing justification will be comic relief, I expect to struggle to keep a straight face listening
