The 4080 12gb looks to be around a 3090 while the 4080 16gb around 3090 + 20% and the 4090 around 3090+ 50%.

Poll: BROWSE THE NVIDIA RTX 4000 SERIES AT OcUK !!

From the presentation, the message I got was that's all they were aimed at, the trouble is organisations that are going to buy in numbers take ages to agree the budget.
Definitely a niche product.

Hardly anyone is going to fork out a grand for a 4070. What we're they thinking.
Isn’t the memory buss on the 12GB wider for more bandwidth? It does seem very backwards though.
I'd imagine that's going to impact it at 4K like it did RDNA2 last time and that was with a 256 bus.

I don't think the bandwidth has much to do with that, its a common perception but i don't think its right.
AMD did better at lower resolution because they use the CPU much more effisiently, they are pushing higher highs when it comes to frame rates resulting in higher averages.

Absolutely no idea, a 4070 or a PS5 and a 4K TV? Hmm.
Makes me think they're trying to get out of the gaming market and focus on other revenue streams, just milking gamers for what they're worth and/or just catering for professionals in this particular market.

Still feel no real urge to upgrade my 1080ti yet

If the current prices areset so that the 30 series continue to sell when this stock is gone do people expect prices drops? Given there's a xx70/xx60/xx50 cards to come as well as any Ti variants I can simply see increases across the board.

1. If I'm going with Nvidia, I'm going to continue to scour the web for a £6-850 Asus Noctua GPU (3070 or 3080) that's still retail for the warranty and the fact I can replace the fans if needed, and that it'll be silent. Given there's no 40 series so far by Asus/Noctua.
2. I need a GPU for the new system, but the prices for these are projected at £3-400 more than the 3070/3080 Asus/Noctua. That's not going to happen. That's basically another SSD or more RAM or better motherboard/CPU.
3. Power requirements. Calculations so far have the Fanless Seasonic TX700 I have to just about handle a 30 series Nvidia or the AMD equivalent so far. Going 40 series means a new PSU as well since it's likely to exceed that the PSU can handle, which is more expense and there's also the PSU changeover soon through ATX 3.0. Not going to pay now and pay again later AGAIN.
So given all that, whilst I was happy to wait and see the 40 series, looking at all the info available now, it's not a viable option.

Sorry Gibbo, but as a matter of principal, being such a major player in the UK scene, it’s your responsibility to push back against such blatant rip off pricing and attempting to scam less savvy buyers with their ******** 12GB 4080 **cough 4070**...
The fact you do not, and entertain this nonsense just goes to show you do not give a damn, and it’s retailers like you that are just as guilty, as without you they don’t sell cards, you enable their taking the ****, therefore you take the ****. I voted to skip like the other 80!!!%, Wishing you and Ngreedia the best.

Tbf keep an eye on the 7800XT, looks to consume not much more power than a 6800XT and I ran one of those with a power-hungry 12700K np on an RM650X

Take it easy man, think of the blood pressure. OcUK and other retailers are just middle-men in this business and have no say in the cost of items. It's we as consumers who decide whether to purchase or not, and in this case (as always) the market will decide.

Awesome, thanks for the heads up!
It sucks but that's where the big money is
Obsessed with low noise?

They're thinking they can slap any price on them and people will be stupid enough to buy them, calling a that card a 4080 is laughable since the stream processors are also less than the higher priced version. I don't know what's in the water supply at nvidia but Heisenberg must be supplying the "special" additive.

Yes.
A few years ago, my father passed away in hospital in the middle of the night (it wasn't expected). I had also put off seeing him that day due to concerns for my mothers health. Me and my mother had made plans to see him on the day he passed in the morning. I received multiple calls from the Doctors and Ward nurses at the Hospital but didn't catch them as I had a headset on at the time watching a film. Whilst it spared me the pain of trying to rush to the hospital over 6 km away and still failing to see him one final time. It ultimately caused a certain level of concern and fear that I will miss out on stuff I need to be alert over, such as my mothers current health now. Since I don't want a headset to block fan noise etc from the gaming PC, I need ears only to hear, and that means speakers on the lowest volume, but to hear those I'd need a much more silent system. Hence, a few years ago, my quest for low noise/silence.
