NVIDIA 4000 Series

[Naff8000]

No way that pricing sticks LOL, there's a worldwide recession. Nvidia in mining cuckoo land

 

[VaderDSL]

Maybe the supply is so low they want to juice the 4090 for all they can get before supplies get better?

AMD should do it and get mind and market share up. 15% is just bad and it won’t improve much with their we are a premium brand strategy.

Yeah, if they match Nvidia's performance and continue with last gen pricing. That will increase their market share quite considerably.

 

[Eiji]

No thanks nGreedia.

I'll wait and see what AMD have to offer in November.

Lets just hope they have RT performance matching ampere or beating it as if it still looses, it will be a big fat meh from me unless it is priced extremely well i.e. £600-700 for a 7800xt.... couldn't care less about rasterization now.

AMD headquarters right now

I can’t see it though sadly. At best £100 cheaper and 4GB extra which is still way too much.

7800 XT that is 40-50% better than a 6800 XT as expected at £749 will get my money. But cannot see it.

Steve of Gamers Nexus has just let slip that he has seen OEM 4090 cards before today.

Probably when he went down to EVGA

If we get that 7800 XT, I will come to AMD for the first time since 2009.

Now the question is are they celebrating because they can raise prices or are they celebrating because they are about to land a slam dunk.

Didn't he say in the EVGA video that they had made 4000 series engineering cards quite openly?

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!

There is a very significant difference this time though.... the actual performance. Aside from the 2080Ti which was a meagre ~30ish% faster than a 1080Ti (for a massive premium) the other turing cards were basically EQUIVALENT performance just with raytracing bolted on. That was the (bad) joke. That is not the case this time. The performance uplift is significant, but you're going to pay for it.

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.

I'm not sure I believe in that fantasy of AMD riding in wearing the white cowboy hat to save the day anymore. I suppose its possible, their 6900XT MSRP was nicely discounted vs the 3090 until the pandemic made MSRPs irrelevant (and priced 6900XT's shoulder to shoulder with the 3090's). Maybe nvidia would even respond to that. We didnt get to see how nvidia would have responded to the 6900XT in a non-pandemic world.

£949 for a RTX 4080 FE 12GB? Wow.

Suppose they've still got RTX 3000 series cards to sell...

RDNA 3 looks suddenly quite interesting. Probably don't need to upgrade my card at all though.

I haven't watched that video.

[Sparx]

I haven't watched that video.

Yeah, basically EVGA already admitted to Steve they have made 40xx engineering GPUs already - before they made the final decision to withdraw their Nvidia partnership.

There will be no 4080 12GB FE. The price is MSRP for AIBs.

The thing is as well, lots of people said nvidia had to price ampere competitively because of rdna 2, if true...... does that mean that nvidia know rdna 3 isn't going to be competitive hence the price hike? Or maybe nvidia are just trying to get as many sales with high margins in before before rdna 3 is announced then they'll slash the prices but if they do that..... they will **** of all the people who are going to buy 40xx between now and then, not that that will be many people though
