NVIDIA RTX 50 SERIES - OFFICIAL PRE-ORDER THREAD!
- Thread starter Gibbo
- Start date
Judging from the rumored prices earlier in the thread.. We're going to see 3 grand Asus Astral 5090 aren't we?
I can't justify that when I'm going to strip the cooler to watercool it.. But then what other options are there other than ASUS that will have blocks day 1 and a (decent in UK) customer service if need to RMA?

Exactly. I'm not assuming that, but we will see
If 5080 is £1k new, for a 4090 to be worth £1.2k pound per pound, you'd be wanting a 20% performance jump over the 5080, I guess.
The 4090 outperforms the 4080 by about 35%.... I can't see the 5080 only being a piddly 15% improvement over the 4080 tbh.
That's not even counting the risk of the fire-prone connector / a 'coil whiny but no return' card. Just seems like it would be bad value at £1.2k.... but clearly at least someone is buying them for a high price at the mo. It definitely isn't me - but I might buy an Asus Astral, which might make me a chump in the eyes of someone *shrug*

Lets say the 5080 has 2 variants, the 16GB version and a 24GB version.. naturally the 24GB version would cost more... look at the 4090 as a beefed up 5080.. hence why people believe the 4090 will still be worth more than the 5080 and rightly so

Yup we'll see, but all the information we got (specs, process nodes, review embargo date etc.) it's easy to infer that the 5080 won't be as good as the 4090 unless Nvidia pulls something else out the bag

You have to offset that with 2 year old generation and no warranty though.
If they're equal performance the 4090 has more ram and the 5080 is newer and has warranty. On a par value wise I would say therefore.
Edit - used pc parts shouldn't be anywhere near 90% of as new value after 2 years, just out of principle. It's a very bubble like market the GPU market.

ASUS cards are the only ones with 2XHDMI ports also, big reason people are prepared to pay more for them.
Lots of 4090 still have years of warranty. Some have 5 years, some 3, some 2.
4090's were being sold in the last few months, I'm sure some of these people will upgrade.
There. Not talking about price’s.
All the size info and spec is on there site.
You can collect any items, however they generally post a day early so you receive the GPU one release day

The 5080 will not match the 4090 in raster, it's just not going to happen.
However, even with that in mind, the fact 4090's are selling for ~£1400 on eBay makes no sense.

The 4080 on average was only 10 FPS faster than a 3090ti. So I don't know where you are getting this from. Also when you played a game with a lot of mods or outlier memory usage the 4080 pooped itself. Using cyberpunk high texture pack, ray tracing etc it was easily sitting at 18gb vram usage.
Indy Jones uses 18gb vram. Space marine 2 is another game that uses above the vram limit of any Nvidia card that doesn't have xx90 in it name.

If you thought the astral was expensive wait till they release the white version....the nerds will cream themselves

The windforce are a 'budget' option and for 99% of people they are fine. I haven;t owned one in years. They always use to be my go to about 10 years ago. But nowadays I don;t touch them as i feel their build quality is generally bad, the fan noise is horrible. And their have a customer service reputation like Asus has.
But to their credit they don;t have coil whine like the suprims and high asus cards. If I had to buy a gigabyte card it would be the Aorus master. AT least that does offer the build quality when paying that kind of money.

My past 3 cards have been windforce / gigabyte as those were the ones available at launch, not a single issue experienced imo
