Jensen is throwing us a bone, 15% faster than the 4070 sounds good but when you realise its 10% faster than a 3080 for a 50 quid discount after 3 and half years the reality sinks in.

Well yeah I agree hence why I haven't moved on from a 3080, obviously could ofset most of the cost by selling on the 3080 but simply isn't worth the faff.

Cyberpunk2077 is the new Crysis with path tracing ON when it comes to performance and technical improvement (somewhat). Problem is that the game still being (deep down) an old gen game, made with old gen in mind. It doesn't do much to put into light (pun intended) what path tracing can do. It doesn't do reflections for everything, environment is pretty static in general, light sources can't de destroyed, you don't have a flash light of any sorts, etc.
In the image below for example, you can detonate a grenade there, take a machine gun and go nuts, whatever, you can't destroy anything, the lights are still on. On so are on the billboards. You can run down street lights and damage or turn off/on your headlights. That it. Even V doesn't have a reflection
) From this point of view, Metro EE is a lot better. Bottom line, until games are built with path tracing in mind, you don't get to see its full potential.

that complaint sounds like one of my biggest issues with elite dangerous (sorry bit of a tangent). I find it massively immersion destroying when I can have a BFG kind of weapon but I can't even smash a window with it..... I would have hoped by now static scenery would almost be a thing of the pastCyberpunk2077 is the new Crysis with path tracing ON when it comes to performance and technical improvement (somewhat).

Well, that's gaming in general. We still have the same remakes, basically, game after game. Besides SQ42 / SC, I can't think of a single game that at least tries to move forward. Same ol' crap.

Until its on retailers at that price, I would not take it as correct.
Obviously no one claimed to knowing the prices. They built up expectations though.
We had a few posters claiming these new cards will slot above existing cards, because nvidia will never give extra performance for free. We also had that Swiss store "leak" with obscenely high prices which people were willing to believe.

Given the original 40 series released with performance a tier lower and prices 2 tiers higher the bump in performance mainly for the 70/70ti and rumoured price cut on the 80 is a welcome improvement but to little to late when 50 series cards could be launching in 9 months time.

I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if AMD went with an 8900XTXTX with 40GB of VRAM.

On the flip I'm guessing you expect the 5090 to have 32GB then? I think they'll stick with 24 myself.

Yeah - I can see the base levels increasing across the board so potentially 32GB on a 5090 could happen. I guess the worry for Nvidia is then clashing with their Quadro range.
4080 Super @ $999? Figures.

Black Friday/cyber Monday - what would count as worth buying?
Yes agreed, just making people aware OcUK has got one under £400 and with any luck that will push more AIB's to follow. :) Of course the 7800 XT's will all be sold out next week anyway, once restocked will also all be £500 plus, so in short grab a 7800 XT whilst can as next year were expecting...

Yup, hence my 24 thought (and is generally deem more than enough atm, nothing is exceeding it).
