This. There's a gigantic gap between the 5080 and 5090 now. The 5090 is too expensive and probably overkill for most and the 5080 is...too expensive full stop. It's pretty much an upsell strategy at this point, mainly because of the lack of VRAM for the price.
Those of us who were hoping they might be able to pick up a heavily discounted 4090 are between a rock and a hard place.

Yeh, the 5080 is a terrible deal.

Honestly, I’d be surprised if they sold many. It doesn’t look like its going to be a great deal faster than the 5070Ti AND it has the same amount of Vram. I imagine most will likely opt for the 5070Ti at the high end (i'm classing the 5090 as extreme high end).

They should have given it 20/24gb Vram at least, to have made it a more attractive proposition.

By the way i do actually agree, i would never pay £1000 or over for a 2nd hand GPU.. im just stating what i think may help to hold there value over a 5080.. but we will see. I have 0 intention of selling mine as i dont think the uplift is worth the hassle of selling and everything i throw at it in max settings at 1440p works flawlessly.

I paid that a year ago for my 4090, the seller gave me the receipt which had a little under 2 years of warranty, so just under a year left now. I doubt I’d be paying £1000 for one now though but then again the 5080 also looks a bit underwhelming for £1000.

Are the reviews out for these tomorrow or next week? I've not long finished watching the Gamers Nexus video on the cooler, looks like a lot of engineering went into the 5090 to make it a 2 slot cooler!

Been mentioned a few times in this thread. 24th Jan for 5090 and 30th (release date) for 5080

I've seen comments on here of the 4090 tanking in value when the 5090 is released :D
More like saying that so they can afford to buy a 4090 hoping that someone sells them one for £500 or something.

No one with any sense is going to sell 4090 for £500, once the dust settles it’ll still be the 2nd fastest card on the market.
 
It's not about being able to afford is it. More about spending money wisely.
Only the young ones on here use the reply of being able to afford something lol. Very nieve and childish.

Is the 5090 going to be to the 4090 what the 4090 was to the 3090? If so, might get one.
...I doubt it though

No, not in terms of ‘raw performance’ anyway.

4090 gave 60 - 100% uplift over 3090 at 4K.

5090 is expected to to give 25 - 35% uplift over 4090 at 4K.

5090 will also have some bonus frame generation tech that might be good or useless, depending on how urgently you need extremely good latency (will depend on the game, IMO, some single player titles I expect it’ll be good) and how many artefacts this will introduce. Initial impressions are that this is good, but imperfect.

If you have a 4090 and don’t bother with raytracing, frame gen or DLSS, it’s probably not worth it for many people. Even if you do bother with those features it’s a lot of money for the upgrade (cost/performance-wise).

Whether that’s worth it or not is up to the individual.

Not like I don't get where y'all coming from.... But I just can't justify to myself paying £1000 for the 5070 (mislabelled as a 5080) when the full fat die is £2000...

I read somewhere that the 5090 isn't even the full fat die......meaning if they did release that they could do a 5090TI or ultra or something
 
Nvidia showed the full die at CES, it's monstrous but if the 5090 need 575W, imagine the full die is 750W maybe more.... And certainly not a 2 slot cooler card.

It's about 90% of it I believe... There's not gonna be much headroom I suspect until they've refined the process a bit, I don't think we ever get 100% though - but someone will correct me if I'm mistaken.
