multiply the performance by the size increase and buy a bigger case

Crazy prices on the 4080 class cards, but as I've said about CPU's it is much easier to lower a price than increase one after the fact.
£649 3080 10GB FE vs £1269 4080 16GB, seems they've regressed to Turing pricing, but dropped the Ti moniker.
Got to wonder what the second user pricing on the 3090 is, and have they priced the new cards to allow the old stock to shift at a price to performance people are willing to accept, seems like a great marketing move. Roll on 3rd November and RDNA3, maybe another $999 RX7900 on the cards.

Hmmm. I wonder if AMD could accidentally leak a few benchmarks now. Nvidia didn't want to talk about raw rasterization performance. I'm guessing it's less impressive.
Nah, was just messin around man
You know how the saying goes, you ask a stupid question, you get a stupid answer
Anybody on the forum buying those cards at those prices should be banned for a week to give them time to think about what they’ve done
Thats Gregster and Kaapstad banned for a week then
I'd rather go to the park and pick up dogs muck.

Nvidia is doomed on this gen. This is literally history repeating itself. Pascal to Turing with mining boom during Pascal.
But Nvidia decided to really up the crapper scale by having ridiculously high prices - it’s almost like they don’t want to sell anything!

One day the mindshare will wake up.

yeah its RDNA3 for me this time. seeing these prices doesnt fill me with any confidence that the 70 series is going to be any better
They didnt have much trouble increases prices in the mining boom.

Sweet beans! Portal RTX. Yeah you win Nvidia marketing you win.
I'm just recalibrating what the word bargain means. 4070 ah hoy I guess.

AMD will have a great opportunity to strike a huge blow this year with this sort of pricing as long as they're not insane like Nvidia.
Imagine we get Radeon 7800 XT at £650 and then 7900 XT at £799. Nvidia will have to drop prices massively or they get annihilated, and AMD won't be supply constrained like last gen.

Since I got my Steamdeck I've not touched my gaming PC. I don't think I'll be buying a 40 series.
Would be great, assuming the performance is there with it. Those prices are a good £50-£100 off due to the weak pound though.
Can you imagine…. Would be a massacre
I don’t think AMD will go all in for value but at the same time let’s hope they are cheaper than this (which I think they will be). If the 7900 has 24GB vram and is 50% faster at the same power draw over the 6900/50 with much improved RT performance, they could still have a superb card on their hands for circa 1k. Especially given where the 16GB 4080 is priced.
