Nvidia prices the norm?

[Darujhistan]

Yeah. I pay under £20 for both my and my partners EE contracts. Unlimited minutes and text plus 9GB we share between us (can gift data move it about easily between us). I hardly use any data as I do not watch any video content. I just download podcasts when on WiFi and apart from that browse, so I end up giving most the data to my partner. My upgrade time has come so I can probably get more data out of them or try and go for a further discount on price.

Yeah UL texts and minutes, and 4GB data of I never use I think I've got 20GB rolled over, just in case my habits change. Not bothered about playing games or watching video on a little screen really though. I'm never on public transport either, and when I am that's a break from screens I enjoy.

Old pay as go phone, no SKY, no BT Sport, no TV licence, gone back to gaming and never been happier, and 2K a year better off...

Music to Jensen’s ears as it suggests they don’t mind.

It shouldn't be as it's hit a price point where I'm no longer interested in high-end PC gaming or desktops generally.

Right now I'd rather just buy a PS5/XBoxSX (which have AMD chipsets) and a lightweight laptop (probably with an Intel chipset!)

Yeah. There is one PC exclusive that will get me to upgrade even at inflated prices though, if it ever does get released that is. Squadron 42

Don't worry, by the time that game releases in 2030 you'll be able to run it on Playstation 6 in 8k / VR

Long gone, my S8 is still as good as is was 2 1/2 years ago, they sounded literally amazed at Vodafone when my contract and I didn't want an S10. They just it it for granted I would simply sign up for 2 more years. My phone now costs me £10 P/M not £50.

I've always looked after it, I reckon it'll do me another 3-4 years at least.

I'm the same with a Note 8, that thing is still very fast and the new phones offer little over it. It's now a case of diminishing returns and me going onto a SIM only deal, before possibly paying cash for a Note 10+ in a few months. I'm not buying a phone on a contract again.

But if this Note 8 keeps working the way it is, I could well see out another year with it.

Back on topic, NVidia have indeed ripped a lot if us off, myself included. I paid £620 quid for this 2080 almost a year ago. Don't get me wrong, superb card. Disgraceful pricing though, then and now.

Losing faith in AMD 'pulling a Ryzen' on NVidia, NVidia may be greedy but they're not as complacent as Intel.

 

[Twinz]

With Ryzen, AMD found a way to lower cost (increase yields with chipplets) and compete on performance. I don't know if they have that same "lower cost + improve performance" card to play with their GPU's right now. However, if they can at least compete on performance and simply accept smaller margins than Nvidia, that might be enough.

I think TNA wants a 3070, can't be sure though, just a hunch j/k

How did you know?

They are taking ages about it. Just hope they bring the performance and the price stays below £500.

 

[Brumboy]

You reckon a 3070 would be roughly equal performance to a 2080Ti at around £400? cause that would be sweet..

 

[Poneros]

Nah, reckon everything's just gonna move down 1 slot.

3080 ti = King of the Wallets ($999+)
2080 ti = 3080 ($699+)
2080/S = 3070 ($499+)
2070/60S = 3060 ($349+)
etc

etc

That's not going to happen, the 2000 series will be EOL soon after 3000 series launch. 3070 should be around 2080ti performance for roughly £400.

Should has nothing to do with it. The 2070 should have been around 1080 ti performance too. Didn't really turn out that way.

The fact I used the word "should" means it's an expectation, not a prediction.

As for the EOL of 2000 series, that's a prediction for sure.

That would be a mega fail by Nvidia. Don't see it happening.

AMD would love it if it happened though.

No way a 3070 will match 2080Ti no matter how much you want it to.

Makes no sense presently or historically.

980Ti and 1070?

How about 780Ti and 970? And that was on the same node. With 3000 series there is a big jump to 7nm+

So yeah. Not sure what you are on about really. Historically...
