Wouldn't factor in the D just yet, even the 4090D is specced higher than the 5080:

The mem bandwidth and bus width speak for themselves really It's not like the core architecture is very different to gain performance via efficiency either here.

If the 5080 is similar performance to a 4090D then the RTX 5090 should be somewhere between 50-60% faster than a 4090 and that is some speed increase. This is all assuming everything scales linear, which it does not. Anything is possible I suppose.

I think we are getting to the point where again the halo card is actually the best value to buy for a generation. Scary.

NO CARD IS WORTH £2000, the 5090 should be £1250 at most

 

[Yaayuh!]

Ahh, the lead up to another release. Numbers and speculation galore.

Something is worth whatever people will pay. You can say an automatic watch isn't worth £5000, or a handbag £3000, or a Tesla £80000.

Nvidia are dominant in the market and their prices reflect both that and the demand among gamers with deep pockets for high-end graphics power.

I will pay £2000 for a 5090. I of course don't like these price increases, but it's still a worthwhile investment for me as a VR gamer and in the end they still retain at least 50% or more value when sold to upgrade to the next generation.

 

[willhub]

It's not worth £2000 it's that price because people are happy with getting mugged.

5080 looks like it's actually a 5070

 

[Grim5]

Looking at that its only going to be marginally faster than the 4080!

And the 5090 looks like a monster, probably a 1.5k monster

 

[gpuerrilla]

Really, dont you already have a 4090?

5080 looks like it's actually a 5070

The more you buy... the more we rejig the tiers (but slowly reduce the spec at the same time)!

No-one is getting mugged, people are choosing to pay the asked-for price. It's a halo GPU, not a roll of toilet paper.

The money spent on it could be an expensive 24 pack of toilet paper

 

[Vertigo]

5090 looks far off, most major publications are reporting a CES reveal... which also means the 50 series is going to be the shortest lived nvidia generation from recent memory

You're assuming they'll return to a September '26 launch for the 60 series. Who's to say CES won't be the new normal for launches going forward?

Whilst not a 'generation', the ultimate "stiff the consumer" move was the 3090Ti in early '22 at £2k+, which was then destroyed by the 4090 only eight months later.

People are choosing to mug themselves, this is my opinion.

 

[Vertigo]

It's worth what people will pay and plenty will pay £2k or even more. Just because you won't and don't feel it's "worth it" doesn't make it so.

NO CARD IS WORTH £2000, the 5090 should be £1250 at most

Says you. Someone else might claim it should only be £600 and that "No card is worth £1250". What makes your assessment of its value the right one?

 

[Joxeon]

If top GPUs were £10k some would still buy it but that doesn't mean its not a rip off just because a few people choose to be willingly financially exploited.

 

[Ayahuasca]

I'm sure someone can come up with a way to objectively value a 4090, though realistically it's hard to say what it's "really worth". As above, they could have launched it at £2k and I'd wager the majority of people who bought one would still have done so. There were many people who paid this for an AIB version.

It’s my opinion just like your opinion is just that an opinion and in my opinion it’s absolutely a rip off and people mugging themselves

 

[G J]

I'm down for speculation and debate but some of you need to calm down as your acting like power consumption, specs and pricing leaks are confirmed as legit.

theres a possibility that nvidia eases to a 36 month cadence.. after all theres not enough capacity to be producing both ai and gaming chips at the same time
