Lol. Poor @gpuerrilla
Yea but to be fair those cards won’t have 24GB, which I hear you may need to be able to launch and play Far Cry 6
Imagine a £300-450 4060 matching or even exceeding a £1400 3090....

That would be the best!

But it will all come down to price. Whatever comes in for £700 or less is what will get my money.
I'm really hoping amd get their RT perf. sorted as I would prefer to go back to an all amd system especially if FSR 2.0 is going to compete with DLSS but sadly I just can't see them matching nvidias lead in RT at the moment, especially from reading this thread regarding their recent purchase i.e. we'll be lucky if we see the effects of that in time for RDNA 3....

Not only is there the hardware and software side of nvidia to compete with when it comes to RT... Nvidias vast sponsorships especially with triple a games (that people actually care about) would still probably give them the edge.
Intel is an unknown but fingers crossed they can compete with nvidia and amd.

I want a card for 3440x1440 165Hz full ray tracing so I can start CP2077 again. Might be a couple of generations I guess.

Odd coincidence that mining profitability has tanked and GPU's are sitting on shelves while dropping in price every week.
Wonder if invidia is taking notes *now*.
Not sure if it has been posted but...

If true.... oh dear, 3090 owners better get selling quick @TNASuspect we'll see a repeat of what happened with the 2080ti owners not being able to get more than £400-500 at most because of the 3070 perf and price....
Given I got my 3080 for MSRP, I'll probably pick up a 4070 or 4080 as if MSRP isn't much higher, in theory, the upgrade will cost me nothing or very little.... Would like to go amd but I can't see amd matching nvidias RT perf. not to mention, don't really want to lose dlss....
Power consumption is a bit of a concern now but ampere series of cards mostly undervolt extremely well, my 3080 doesn't use more than 275w at most, hopefully be the same for 40xx cards.
If MSRP for FE is similar to 3000 series, my thinking is get a xx70 or xx80 depending on if VRAM is enough, sell my 3080 on here for less than I paid but keeping the net upgrade cost to around £100, but I do have a feeling the MSRP will be way higher, Nvidia will know they sold the 3080 and 3070 too cheaply.
Undervolt plus playing at 60fps capped keeps power usage at 150w or less, on older games below 80w. I personally dont get the xxxfps stuff, its never something thats enticed me.
I think they will still get scalped into oblivion regardless of miners though.

Yes it would require retailers to actually give a **** about the regular consumer and do something sensible like stopping people from buying tons of stock at once to avoid that. We can dream at least
Soldato
Scalping is tied to supply and demand. The direction the market is headed now is a result of much lower demand with miners losing interest.
I know what your saying but still can't help but feel that there will still be a lot scalpers and others blinded by a quick buck that will try their luck regardless. Me and my 1080 hope i'm wrong though...

Can's see Nvidia giving away that amount of performance in one generation. 50% max over previous. They'd save a 100% gain for another generation - 5000 series.

If rdna 3 is as good as we are lead to believe, they have no choice.

Just look at that 600W nuclear reactor! So what's the spike going to be on that?
Soldato
True, if that's the case and prices are sensible it's win win for the consumer. Though I do remeber the hype train from the last release where the 6800XT was going to blow the 3090 out of the water. That was from someone who knew someone that worked at AMD. I'll stick with 50% max in performance.
I always find it odd how two companies can make gfx cards with performance within a gnats whisker of each-other. 'tis a bit fishy.
