NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

Is this what your willing to pay?

Every time there is a new gen of cards there are people who come out with crazy figures like this, almost like they want it happen. Don’t get it myself. The expectation needs to be £700-£800 and if more then to give them a hard time about it.

As I keep saying, if the price had always gone up the past 20 years like some keep expecting every new gen, the cards would cost as much as a house by now...

I can’t see me gettin anything else now buddy my pc is good enough for a couple of years now. Be interesting to see how the new cards turn out .

I disagree: it was never more than a taster.

It's not a good way to test future tech though. Imagine the outcry if the new PS5 only had about 4 games available with mediocre performance. Saying "it was never more than a taster" wouldn't be acceptable to the console community so why is the PC community such a soft touch?

Quite simply because on a pc you don't have to turn rt on and you can choose what gpu you match with your system based on performance and reviews , with consoles you get what you get.

Yeah. Some are happy to test. I don't mind either, just don't want to pay them through the nose to do so personally.

Hopeing that now that Nvidia have got the R&D money back for the "10 years" it's been in development for, we can get someone what more sensible prices for the 3000 series.
 
If the price is right I will probably go back to Nvidia when Ampere releases, I switched from a GTX 1060 to a Vega 56 and I wish I had just got the 2060.
 
Got a 2070 super with free CoD last week with no regrets, would have waited for 3000 series but as an upgrade excuse promised my nephew my old 1060 6gb for Xmas so couldn't go back on my word. New cards likely to be great but early adopters likely to see super versions supercede them within a year or so, and I doubt they'll be cheap. 3080ti likely to be around or over £1000, can't see them being more generous than they were this gen which was not much at all.

The price will be right...for Nvidia.

Right up there in the stratosphere.

Yeah true, I'm just not very impressed with AMD stability compared to Nvidia. I did a clean OS install too but went from no crashes at all in the two and a half years I had the 1060 to regular ones (all driver related) so the way round it is to fully wipe drivers between updates...but nowadays I don't have the time for gaming that I did I just want it to work lol
