I got laughed at here earlier when I said not many game at 4k but many here said 4k 120 fps is the norm...

I seriously doubt it…

If contemplating spending this sort of money on a GPU you'd be doing yourself dirty by not first sorting out your monitor to a full array local dimming hdr1000 monitor or an oled to give you that incredible step up from edge lit led. Those only come in 1440 ultra wide or 4k.

I do have such a monitor as I do photo editing

I'm going to be on my 1080 forever at this rate!

I can't remember when we last had such a bad hardware launch, when a company has failed to read the room so spectacularly.

Why not grab a retail 3080?

3080 at msrp 2 years after release? Really?

Yes really. 3080 is cheap and a good card still.

You honestly think even the 5080 will be any better? Lol

Yeah would just be helping Jenson offload his eol product that he has due to chasing the mining market over gamers

Not surprised. With a 192 bit memory bus the memory bandwidth on the 4080 12gb will in all likelihood be lower than any 3080 to 3090ti GPU. That will be causing it to lose on those games most likely.

Yeh, it is rather nerfed in that respect.

Wait for the RTX 4070/4060, see how they compare. Or RDNA 3

RTX 3080 10gb still not at MSRP, or considered 'cheap'.

RDNA 3 could win pretty hard at the mid end, if AMD release mid tier cards this year.

Honestly Xbox and a few extra controllers is the way to go for me, already pay for gamepass and will still have the PC to run any exclusive titles albeit not optimally, sad

That you think a £700+ card counts as "cheap" is a fine example of shifting baselines.

Vs 1. 5k for a re badged 3080 named as a 4090?

Don't think any of the 4090s will fit in my SSUPD Meshlicious by the looks of them :cry:

RDNA3 in Nov 2022 chaps, don't be a Nvidia fan boy and wait to see what they offer.

No, vs. card prices as they were pre-Covid. The 3080 ain't cheap, and the existence of more expensive stuff doesn't make it so.

The cheapest 3080 on OC/U.K. is £700, the most expensive, £950.

If that’s “cheap” for what’s now an E.O.L. card, I’d hate to see what you deem expensive….

Ultimately though Nvidia’s crazy recent pricing is starting to pay off for them, what was previously an absurd price for a card is now deemed cheap by some, only some though.

Some? Most.

These cards will sell like hot cakes.

The profit and the amount they sell proves you wrong.

Most here can moan and groan about these cards but end of the day, they will sell out.

You are calling the 3080 at MSRP 2 years later, cheap?
