NVIDIA 4000 Series

- Start date
I'm hoping that AMD is not tied so much to console and that Intel gets its cards out. I'm hoping that competition comes in to play. I agree though, £750-800.

All I want is to be able to run my Quest 2 on max settings in Elite Dangerous, for £700.
Good point, amd in theory should be much more competitive this time round in that regard as there should be far more stock for PC market as opposed to when they launched RDNA 2 and were having to supply 80% of their stock to consoles.

£750 sounds like a good deal

Hahaha Nvidia would never allow that. I'm thinking at-least £1000 MSRP for 4080 and 1500 retail.
Availability will be just as abysmal as last gen. Lovelace cards will be myths for many moons after release. I think it's delusional thinking things will suddenly return to Pascal days and people will be able to buy brand new gen cards for retail prices???
Nvidia has set a trend this generation of increasing prices and that will only continue. High end discreet graphic cards are now a luxury item.

Well on Nvidia's own site -
Code:
3060Ti £369
3070 £469
3070Ti £549
3080 £649
3080Ti £1049
3090 £1399
I predict £750-£800 for 4080 founders edition not talking about AIB if AMD can keep up or beat them for performance that's what competion brings hopefully AMD do reference drops for UK this time also think the demand for the console's won't be as high so less chips for them don't forget intel will also be in the market for mid - low end , regards to availability I'll just go with FE again got 3080 for MSRP didn't really find it difficult to get with setting up alerts when it dropped just more about being patient

FE's were great value. Honestly Nvidia got that absolutely spot on. Sleek looks, great pricing, massive step up in performance from previous gen. As Ive said before, why do they even need AIBs any more? Market would be better if we just had massive supply of FEs from both Nvidia and AMD, where they can use economies of scale to simply mass produce them unlike the AIBs.
Soldato
Both NV and AMD reference cards are made by an AIB, PC Partner for AMD and Foxcon and BYD (Chinese) if Google is to be believed. GPUs are not something you can just decide you're going to start making over night! I suspect they don't really want that business, like TSMC aren't competing with ARM, Intel and AMD in CPU design
Soldato
Yeah they subcontract out the production, mass produce them under the Nvidia brand. I think nvidia do want that business - why wouldn't they? Its proved that everyone wanted the FEs. Why pay more for the same product just because its got an AIB markup? Nvidia have made the chips, not much of an extra step to make the whole product as has been proved with the FE models where they must have made millions of them in past year or two.

I predict 4000 series cards won't be readily available until 12 months from now.
With that in mind I'm glad I purchased my 3080 today.

Why won't they be available ? Seeing plenty of stock of 30 series and AMD 6000 series now ?
Neither company would want to fall behind
It will be nice to react back to this later on

Do you understand the official launch isn't until September? That's 5 and a half months away. Add in scarcity/scalping/supply issues it could be easily another 6 months on top until they are freely available.
Just get the founder's edition drop ? That's what I did with the 3080 FE , depends on the AIB prices on release day if too much will go FE route again
All depends might go with AMD

Doesnt like bottom tier cards, doesn't compute - mentally.
Maybe I should mention it is the Crème de la crème Rog Strix bad boy edition
In fact for the same price I could have had a 3080 Ti but didn't want to live with a bottom tier AIB model inside my case for next 2 years.
Mentally I'll be much happier with a Rog Strix 3080 than a bottom tier 3080 Ti

haha
I've checked benchmarks and it only works out few fps difference aint gonna notice when the fps is already high , considering the price difference like double 
Associate
haha
Not worth buying any 3080 now in less then 6 month's it's going to look so slow, paying double now at these stupid retail prices is just mental I agree lol.
Got myself 3060Ti FE in last weeks drop, will be good enough till the 4000 series is released.
