Yup, people just getting baited in by an old trick.

People acting as if GDDR7 comes cheap, and 32GB of it too, and new build process, and the massive die size etc etc

No one doubts GDDR7 is more expensive than GDDR6 it's more that Nvidia charge a "Apple Tax" on the higher capacities.
Nvidia is more like the fat guy from Oliver Twist "MOOOORREEEE"" YOU DARE ASK FOR MOORRREEE

At launch maybe. But give it a few months and you would jump in as it eats at you day by day

Yeah. This is the first generation that's EVER changed to newer ram, increased the ram, been on a new build process or had a large die. Obviously requires a large price jump

HACO. The guy that would always predict much higher prices every new generation as I recall.
You made your dreams a reality and now you live them
Got 2000 and 4000 pretty much spot on, and 3000 very wrong
and my prediction for this year is £2000 and £1200.Got 2000 and 4000 pretty much spot on, and 3000 very wrong
Yeah. That sounds likely unfortunately.

I honestly find it sad that in 2024 and with the launches in 2025 that my 1080ti still has more Memory than GPUs that are being released in the present day.
Yeah, it's not good. What depresses me is that if you want to buy a mid-range card for sensible-ish money (~£300) your only option in what will soon be 2025 is to go for an RTX 4060
Which basically means buying a card that's little more spec and performance-wise than a rebadged RTX 3060 from over 4 years ago!Truly grim ....

I find the idea of an 8GB 5060 and 12GB 5070 pretty appalling for what they’re likely to be charging for these cards.

Mrk trying to justify whatever price he pays for his inevitable 5090 purchase

i love the idea of midrange buyers subsidizing enthusiast grade GPUs

Surely when you typed this up, you realized literally any counter argument or even... piece of hardware from the last 30 years would dispense massive dents into this nonsense. Like there's never been a node change before? Is GDDR7 the first ram etched into diamond or something?
As for the rest of you guys, the 5080 will probably be about the 4090, and they aren't going to give 4090 performance away for 4080 prices. Every launch we've foolishly tried applying 2017 logic to this stuff, and yet it's very clear that nvidia is just running with it now. With their GPU mindshare, they can do whatever they want and they are going to continue doing that. You want to believe that a generational leap will account for a price reduction. But nope, that's not how the GPU market works now. They just add the generational improvements to the last gens price, instead of replacing it. 4080 is double 3080 performance, so you pay double. 5080 will add 20% to 4080, so you can just add 20%. There's no improvements. You can't even just buy 20% improvement. They really got us. Have to buy the whole new die for 2 grand that cost nvidia like what, 100 bucks lol?
My buddy at work who knows a lot more about PC's than I do, in the sense of coding and lanes and yada yada, completely buys the userbenchmark slant. It's the first link that comes up when people go to compare. So he believes their little blurbs, that AMD is horrifically overpriced and has an army of propaganda bots and all that jazz. That's what normal people think of the GPU landscape. Nevermind the XTX is half the price and 80% the performance. It doesn't matter what AMD puts out now. They can't break gen z's/young millennials mindlock, so Nvidia is free to do whatever they want.
