maybe not at release but you will buy.

Normally you'd be right, but I've sworn off this gen as the XTX is doing everything I need it to and more (and was half the price of the 4090 I sold!). Can afford it but just can't justify it, don't do the gaming!

Most of you are going to cave in and buy anyway... maybe not at release but you will buy.

I won't. I barely game anymore as it is, the prospect of throwing a grand plus at a gpu is as appealing as a steel toe cap boot to the clackerbag

Thank you for joining the group of people who let us know you can afford it. It is very, very important that everybody understands when you can afford something.

I can afford it to. Just can't justify it. There, can I join the group now?

Ascendancy · 2024-12-27T21:11:55+0000

Yeah yeah. You can all afford it but you're not going to buy it.

All it takes is one leather jacket and a smile and suddenly the entire product line is sold out at 14:01.

At this point, Nvidia are just seeing how much they can charge for these things with every new release.

People need to just stop buying them.

Definitely agree in your case. It's not like you need one for the 10 minutes you actually spend playing games a year.

If Nvidia go mental on the pricing then Jensen can suck my nuts. I bought an FE 4090 and that was already ludicrously expensive. I will be content with a much lower end part.

You bought the 4090 so who is sucking whose nuts?

I’ve been sucking Jensen’s nuts ever since my first Nvidia GPU purchase which was a TNT2 Ultra by Creative from Electronics Boutique in the summer of 1999. That was the first of MANY. No amount of mouth wash will get rid of the taste after this many years.

Noxia · 2024-12-27T21:50:57+0000

At least with the 4090 we got something decent in return, imagine sucking nuts for a 4060

That's not it. They see it as no competition, crazy mind share, and AI craze so might as well.

If they saw it like you said, over the years price for performance would never have improved and a 4090/5090 would have cost a lot more.

Isn't that exactly what's happened?

The 4080 and 4090 where layered on top of the 3080 and 3090 in terms of pricing.

The rumours on the price for the 5000 series suggest much the same.

Increase in performance / increase in price.

Because there is no competition in the space Nvidia operate in.

The 5080 will be a lower end part

Well...if someone's that way inclined...

Have you still got your 4090 mate or is that the much lower part your referring? Or was this in addition to your 4090.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the 5090 is something silly like 3k this time, some people thought the 4090 was too cheap last time and look what Nvidia did when they thought the 3080 price was cheap, near doubled it.

3k for a 5090
1500 for a 5080
1000 for a 5070ti
800 for a 5070

Take it or leave it, if you don’t want it we’ll just sell the silicon to google/META for 40k a pop.

My first GPU was the TNT2 non Ultra, didnt get any nuts with that one

I remember the good old days when we used to get to suck on a bag of Haribo with a new GPU purchase but I guess Jensen's nuts will have to do for most of you guys now!
