Don't forget you may even get £1,000 back for the 5090 after the 2 years of gaming joy

Two whole years of luxury… of not using DLSS and barely seeing any difference
… but it’s never something you had to consider so it was worth it!!!
I find dlss only useful when sharpening can be set. Too much and it looks artificial, too little and it's too soft. Also my screen could only max at 120fps.
My new 77" G4 can do 144fps at native 4k! Every option is on the table lol.
Where did you get the number from? For 2% margin no corporation would even bother to sell anything, it's ridiculous.
I think for some people it's the feeling of having the best of the best. Its why people buy new phones every year. Or a new car every year. Sometimes buying things dont make a tangible difference but if it makes you happy it makes you happy. No point earning money if you're just going to sit on it until you die. Spend it on the things that make you happy. But there's also no point spending money if you're going to regret it every time you look at what you bought. If you know you won't regret it then don't let anyone stop you.

Its not, these are the times when you fall that much behind. God knows how good the MCM design was, if it actually saved money or not.
It also encompasses console chips, but still, pretty low.
I had to laugh after reading the above post and then seeing the later post below

The 5050... hold on not that I'm intrested in the purchase of it mind though this could mean that Blackwell is backwards compatible with GDDR6(X?)Mountain of salt as the source is Reddit...

Oof... They're really compensating for the anemic cheaped-out specs on the 5080 by bunping mem speeds to the roof. That card is going to look ok in some situatuons, fall on its face in others -- it's a very unbalanced config. I wouldn't touch it with a 10m pole. Keep a keen eye for cherry picked benchmarks from nV and reviewers.
How much is everyone willing to pay for thw 5090? ..

It is called internal conflict, it's character building lol. Basically I could go either way 5090 or 5080. I can see strong cases for going either way!I had to laugh after reading the above post and then seeing the later post below

A grand.
And still Nvidia would be ripping me off.

2.2k max, but if the 5080 is 1k or more cheaper than maybe go for that instead.

5090 is not going to be in same league as the 5080, thats a widely held assumption, so idk if thats the correct way of looking at it
I use this line of thought every time I'm in the maccies drive through and about to order 50 nuggets.

While I agree, what kind of performance uptick would you need for >£1000 differential?
There's lesser vRAM, but I'm looking though it strictly from a gaming perspective and not and edge use case I.e Skyrim with hundreds of mods, MS flight Sim etc

Depends entirely on the performance uplift over the 4090 and what new features they're adding.
I don't see myself paying over £2.5k regardless though.

Once those shortages hit (pretty much immediately) then there's only one way for 5090 prices to go....

Ok, so what you meant by that is operating margin of the whole gaming department for the Q3 - which isn't the margin they set on GPUs for example (2 very different things). It doesn't seem to have anything to do with RND done on these years earlier either, nor with MCM cost. It only cares about sales numbers and current expenses - it might as well be because their current RND of this department is funded heavily and eating all of the income. In other words, it hardly tells us anything about actual performance of that department in a given quarter by itself.Its not, these are the times when you fall that much behind. God knows how good the MCM design was, if it actually saved money or not.
It also encompasses console chips, but still, pretty low.

£2,200 is maybe not a hard limit for me but about the point I’d think about it and lie to the wife about how much I paid.
