NVIDIA 4000 Series

[Drumroll]

I would guess a 20% performance boost, but a bigger improvement in areas that really cripple fps (RT), as long more games use it heavily, will do. Not ideal, but enough to pull some 4080/4090 users that want that extra performance. Other segments more cost conscious won’t be jumping from a 4070 to a 5070 so easily. Most users from mid range (not mid range in price though) tend to keep their GPUs for longer.
The main public will be 2000/3000 high end users looking for a big performance boost, but first thing to create such demand is some decent games to justify it. At the moment, not too many games that I fell deserve any GPU costing more than 300-400 pounds. Personal taste, but seems more like copy and paste and generally poorly optimized games.

Probably right. But who knows. Maybe the titan will be back at 3K or something?

Nah those chips are far too valuable now, why take 3k when you can label it 'AI' and get 6

This could be us 4090 owners watching the 5070 reveal

4090 owners will just have to dry their eyes on some paper

You keep saying that whenever this topic comes up grim

Are you mortgage free home owner, do you have financial freedom? If not then the gif does not apply in my book.

Buying a 4090 is not that hard you know? Even a very young family member of mine got a brand new iPhone 15 pro max for not much less than a 4090.

 

[TNA]

Funny thing is that gif probably is more me than you as I don't part with my cash so easily

Still waiting for you to smash your 3090 with a hammer by the way? Or did you have to sell it?

It won't pass when people be buying the top SKU like the 3090

 

[mrk]

There would be little to no R&D into advancing tech if nobody bought the top SKUs remember. Just like the car market, if nobody buys the top tier trim models then the trickle down effect never happens and the model family becomes a total flop.

Spoiler

That's me trying to apply textures on the 4070@1440p

Spoiler

That's me trying to apply PT'ing on the XTX@1080p

 

[gpuerrilla]

It won't pass when people be buying multiple cards like the 3080, 3070, 3080Ti, 4070 (this person bought all three four) and still be on less performance than a 3090!

edit - forgot about the 3080Ti lol

 

[TNA]

Have some balls and say who it is. Can't be me as I have a 4070 Ti which easily beats the 3090 using less than half the power to boot

Which games? I have not come across this and tried many games.

Sure but it is funny when they buy a 3090 and then complain about top end GPU's costing more and more however

Hasn't Jensen already hinted that prices will be more expensive?

I remember reading an article a few weeks ago.

But probably just conjecture.

 

[mrk]

He has said that the pricing is the new normal and to get used to it. Lots of people seem to be forgetting this.

Hell it was known even in 2022:

Nvidia CEO: High Prices for GPUs Are Here to Stay

'The idea that a chip is going to go down in cost over time, unfortunately, is a story of the past,' Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says one day after the company revealed the $1,599 GeForce RTX 4090.

He also said 970 had 4GB and held a GPU up that was meant to be the real thing and it turned out to have wooden screws. Lol.

It will be what it will be once it is announced. Even then it could change. Just look at the 4080 12GB

if both keep increasing prices, then pc gaming will ultimately die in time, they wont develop games with such a small user base or push the boundaries of graphics with few owning high end gpus capable of running it. obviously this is a long term view. instead either wages will catch up n make them more affordable to the masses in time, or the highly unlikely if not impossible scenario of them reducing prices.
