Raw performance and retained price - check out the prices of second-hand 16 GB A770s on eBay.

Yeah ok. :)

You can get one here for £300 new, and its 16GB, which is nice, i like to see 16GB cards at a reasonable price.

I would point out the RX 6700 XT is £20 more, 12GB but also a quicker card and not 8GB which IMO shouldn't be a thing anymore much above £200.

Yeah its good, i just hope it keeps maturing.

EDit: i would not consider used prices a success, it just mean people aren't willing to pay used, doesn't matter they are decently priced new.

RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 launch in Q4 2024 a year after I bought RTX 4080? :eek: :eek: :eek:

Hopefully they have learnt from ada launch prices and it will "be safe for ampere users to upgrade" :D

  • GB202 - 512-bit / 28 Gbps / 32 GB (Max Memory) / 1792 GB/s (Max Bandwidth)
  • GB202 - 384-bit / 28 Gbps / 24 GB (Max Memory) / 1344 GB/s (Max Bandwidth)
  • GB203 - 256-bit / 28 Gbps / 16 GB (Max Memory) / 896.0 GB/s (Max Bandwidth)
  • GB205 - 192-bit / 28 Gbps / 12 GB (Max Memory) / 672.0 GB/s (Max Bandwidth)
  • GB206 - 128-bit / 28 Gbps / 8 GB (Max Memory) / 448.0 GB/s (Max Bandwidth)
  • GB207 - 128-bit / 28 Gbps / 8 GB (Max Memory) / 448.0 GB/s (Max Bandwidth)

So 5090 with 32gb and 5080 possibly 24gb? @mrk better upgrade to the 5090 for that extra vram if nothing else :p

I think its obvious £1799 msrp for founders edition 5090 and £2000-£2500 for other manufacturers. need lube:p

If true that is what I would buy :D

Anything above that is 4 figures anyway :cry:
 
It can go 2 ways:

- be priced silly for the 80 and 90 but alas look at what happened with the 4080.... I do suspect we will see the 5090 pushing the 2k mark, if anything just because of the vram and how it really is beneficial to ai workloads
- be an ampere all over again where it matches/beats a 4090 but 5080 costing £800-1k

Given history and likes of turing, I'm expecting to maybe see not an overall huge leap in performance and so expecting the second option.

If 5080 is >1100 and doesn't match a 4090 at all, I'll skip and seek to get maybe a second hand 4090.

Dude, if the 5080 cannot at least match the 4090 I might not bother upgrading at all :cry:
 
If the 5090 has the same kind of jump the 4090 did compared to the 3090, it will be hard to resist even at £1600 tbh. As always, it will depend on the games and how they run come the time though. I can't see there being much to really justify 5090 levels especially when the last few titles have been pretty well optimised compared to the trash we had being released last year :o
 
if its priced anything much over £1500, I just don't see many gamers buying them but the compute guys will buy them in buckets. 32Gb ram is good amount for AI work, personally will upgrade for this reason only. I don't think pricing of the 5090 matters much its the 5080 price that will decide whether many gamers will buy or not, £1000-£1200 max, don't see anyone paying more for one.

I also doubt 40% uplift like 3090-4090 this round, could be wrong.
