Which games? So far everything works fine with my 12gb, let alone 16gb. I think only game I recall needing more was Harry Potter and that was due to frame generation needing the extra vram. But that was at 5120x2160 which is more than 4K.
I agree pricing will be the main thing. Will be interesting to see what they do.

600W...god...dayum
We are talking Intel levels of heat here

Looks like the RTX5080 is basically half an RTX5090. The AD103 was over half an AD102,so the RTX5080 is an even more cut down die.
If the RTX5080 is 400W as claimed,they have pushed the clocks as high as possible to justify the price. GDDR7 is also meant to be more efficient too,so they core is probably being a pushed a lot if that is the case.
Oh,well I suppose if you must max all settings things won't be getting cheaper anytime soon!

Which won't mean much unless each tier gets a decent improvement this generation. The RTX4060,RTX4060TI and RTX4070 were frankly pathetic levels of improvement for the price. You still need that basic performance for all these new technologies to build off. If it's another case of 10 to 20% improvement or a bit more,then it will be another snorefest because Nvidia and AMD were busy rebranding upwards. It also limits the rate at which games can push things,if all the mainstream cards are useless.
We really need to be getting at least 30% to 40% performance uplifts at each tier.

Totally.
Let’s not forget that one of the initial 4080 was later “downgraded” to 4070.
So a cutdown 5080 to upsell 5090 is a (somehow) expected move, sadly.
Also, targeting 600W for 5090 and 400W for 4080, considering the issues with the connectors, may be risky. I haven’t heard much about melted connectors lately, but if the cards keep similar dimensions of 4000 series (most cards are very wide), or even wider cards, that may be an issue, a serious one, as I don’t see cases increasing dimensions to accompany and allow a safe bending of the cable.
Doubt it. Main advantage the 4090 is likely to have is the extra vram.
Price is what will matter. They need to keep it three figures.
Do they? 4080 was not 3 figures
And that sold how well relative to the rest of the cards?

It will be a three figure number in Kuwaiti Dinars!
Aren't the 4080 Supers not 3 figures? Pretty sure I have some go as low as £800 which I still found too expensive this late in the 4000 series life cycle.
Hold, I remember you HACO. You are the guy that always thinks cards will cost way more than they end up eventually costing.
I remember you getting completely wrong a few years ago
Yes indeed, I was wrong about 3080. Right about 1080, 2080 and 4080

I only remember the 3080. You got that one spectacularly wrong. You got offended at my price prediction back then too.
Do you own nvidia shares sir? Lol
