$1200 for the RTX4080 with a lousy 256 bit bus lol. Jen really is a master magician to convince people to pay these sort of prices.

It's easy peasy, just stick 'RTX 4080' on the box and claim 2-4x performance vs the last gen. Increase VRAM a bit too, people freaking love more VRAM.

As long as they are slightly ahead of AMD, it's no problem.

Does anyone here use RDNA2 cards (top end ones) on Davinci Resolve? I am doing a lot of work with that program right now and a lot of AI work - and with my current rig (5950x with 3080FE) I might see if I can nab a cheap as poss 3090 as I need the memory. Also tempted to jump over to workstation level so I can go dual GPU as I think Resolve 18 will take advantage of more GPU power. If AMD have solid support then dual RDNA3 cards could be the order of the day. Also colouring the issue with getting a 4090 is my PSU is an 850W Corsair Titanium pretty sure I saw a JonnyGuru review saying it was a solid PSU and could sustain like 1050w before shutting down, wonder if that will contain the transient spikes?

I would ask this on the 6900/6950 thread. Too much noise and not really AMD thread this.

And for all the people here bashing nvidia, This time next year, most people here would have purchased a 4000 card and they would never admin that they once upon a time slated nvidia with pitch forks and saying NEVER NEVER BUYING NVIDIA AGAIN!!

I see that you fail to admit that the 4090 is a xx80 and the previous gen xx80 is half the price of a 4090 LOL

Still doesn't make the 3080 good value or "cheap",

LOL :rolleyes:

g67575 · 21 Sep 2022 at 08:11

Gonna have to be a lot cheaper for that to happen.

US market don't mind though, they will lap it up (and pay less sales tax tbf).

1.5k vs 700 for a 2 year old EOL product. That was sold way over MSRP for two years due to scalping and a mining boom, that is now finally being sold at MSRP.

My maths skills are fine and my ability to understand the value of money is far better than yours

He said that they pushed Ada past 3GHGz in their labs. Not sure if that's possible at home.

Will be if you get an AIB card with a bios with unlocks the 660W power setting and has 4 c 8 pin power connectors on it.............................................

Wonder how long before the prices come down to a more "reasonable" level

Which it is and still a viable card to get for playing today and future games

It is. It's not cheap though.

dave1983 · 21 Sep 2022 at 08:41

Couple of weeks back 3080 TUF was £699, took the risk and brought it. Todays prices £849 apparently a sale

Enjoy those 4080's and 4090's for obscene prices!

The more you buy the more you save dave!

3080 at msrp 2 years after release? Really?

Are you taking the tanking of the pound into account? The pound was around 1.35 to 1.4 during the 3080 launch. So it is quite a bit cheaper now as a result. Just look at Ada prices being more than dollar value, where as they were less than the dollar value with ampere.

Someone else can do that math but it is at least 15% cheaper now.

Is it 8x better looking games though ? All we seem to be getting is shinny versions of games we have already played

Exactly. Not like we are missing out on anything, yet anyway.

Depends on how well they sell and what RDNA 3 costs IMO, if they sell like hot cakes and RDNA 3 has similar cost/performance then never.

That accounts for at most a £100 difference in price to the end user.

Will a 5900x be good enough alongside a 4090 for 4k gaming?

£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.

There isnt a Founders edition 4080FE, its AIB only so make that £1000 to £1200

So it is not the same as launch price then. Not that many could buy it at msrp for long per of time.

Question is, do you think AMD will be your saviour? What price performance and price poits do you think they will hit in November?

My worry is Lisa will just take the chance and undercut by $100 and call it a day which is still ****.
