a 2nd amd pc is not going to a meaningful substitute for the 5090.. 2 very different things
makes me wonder if we are looking at an eventless release, no leaked benchies no nothing this close to the launch??

Definitely not, but it's something I now have in consideration.

Need actual release/price info to drop 1st for any real excitement to take place and or disappointment.

I'm back in the two minds camp for now, given I could build a 2nd PC and have a glorious all AMD machine with 8000 card for the same price or cheaper.

Exactly. If prices are stupid (high probability) then all excitement will be gone from me.

Just not worth paying the premium due to a lack of gaming time. Rather wait for a deal that way i minimise depreciation (which I hate).

Hoping here 5080 is cheaper than 4090 and faster.. unlikely

I get we all have rock bottom expectations, but geez, I didn't realise things were so bad that folks are expecting 5080 to cost 4 figures and still be slower than 4090...
We've come a long way since the days of a 70 tier trading blows with previous gen Titan and 80ti tier being almost as good as current gen Titan for 2/3 the price.

We should have been demandinding the 5070 to give us 4090 tier performance for less than half a grand... Moore's law really is dead and buried at this point (wrt GPUs).
A shame that most folks are happy to let Nvidia shaft them for less VRAM and performance, over flashy software features like fake frames.

I'm sure they'd have listened

The problem is that Jensen ain't getting a booing audience when he reveals the cards..

Vote with your wallet and let someone else buy that 5090 you were going to buy :cry:

The horror - and deny myself the pleasure of no FOMO.

Hopefully they price it a bit too high and I'm out

2500 tops for me anything above they can keep it..

Bidley · Sunday at 16:42

2500 would be obscene. But it depends on the rest of the product stack. If the 5080 with 16gb is much more than a grand then it will be very interesting to see how the future of discrete GPUs pan out.

Maybe down the pan?

Yeah could end up like that as lots of 4090's were £2000+ at various points anyway.

If the Founders edition is £1999.99 then we will see a few choices there or close to there.

May not be the RRP but you can guarantee Asus and MSI will be getting close to those prices.

It would be strange seeing something for £1200ish then the gap striding out to 2500 but wouldn't surprise me yeah. Depends also what the new lock in features are..

heatonpkmassive · Sunday at 19:23

I'm drawing the line at ten grand and a kidney, if it's any more than that then they can keep it.

Yeah but you know some dumbass would try and buy 2 of them xD

£1200 and I'm out. The massive price gap is feasible given the leaked specs (5080 being rougly 50% of the 5090). Imagine the 5080ti, 5080 Super, 5080ti Super, 5085ti Mega Super in a year's time....

Well last gen was the new norm when we got to see the famous unlaunched 4080, and the regular £1200 4080. If nvidia repeats it then they learned nothing, unfortunately they must have sold enough units to try it on again.

Remember the RTX Titan was $2,499 & Titan V was $2,999

All they learned (if the leaks are anything to go by) is to release the gimped one on its own, then the proper one later. There is absolutely no reason, given the (alleged) 32gb VRAM for the 5090, that the 5080 can't be 24gb.

But like I said, if the gimped 5080 is well under a grand, it's all good. But it won't be!
