NVIDIA RTX 50 SERIES - (PRE)ORDER DISCUSSION **NO COMPETITOR HINTING**

This whole thing has been disgusting. From the lies about performance and launch with no stock from nvidia, to the ripoff prices with retailers and scalpers. What makes it worse is every time I turn on youtube, seeing the soy face thumbnails of YouTubers with their 5090/5080 videos, it’s like our noses are being rubbed in it.
 
I remember going through all of this to get my 3080ti FE.

Had to religiously sit in the discord stock alert channel and still took about 8 attempts.
 
Jokes on all the people buying a 5080 or 5070ti now that didn't buy a 4080 or 4080 super.

Could have had almost/essentially the same thing for the same money a year or more ago.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Although mostly posted by people already on 4080/90s.
 
Who on here is intending to buy one of these 5070Ti's for £900?
I expect no one will admit it, they'll suffer in silence with their shame.

I don't even care at this point, no FOMO whatsoever. Hearing about people buying these will be like hearing about someone getting hit by a bus (they intentionally stepped in front of).
 
Jeez the tiers of cards below 5090s are terrible. Same rough price performance available in 4000 series for 2 years prior.

Just makes it all the more confusing for me why there’s a gigantic gap between the 5090 and 5080 which could have been filled by an actual x80 class card and have the other tiers filter down from there. I think nvidia know how to make money better than what we know but you’d think they would have got a lot more people upgrading this way. They probably liked their 4000 series Super release so planning something similar but unless you’re going for a 5090 from 3000 series or lower it’s not great imo.

I have to agree here what a farce.

Yeh but that is because they were literal money printers.

That doesn't exist now so the whole thing is stupid.

GN was pointing out how crowded the space is of cards that are within 15% of each other -- the chart is comically ridiculous. In this segment, you have: 7900 xtx, 4080 Super, 4070ti, 5070ti, 4080... and shortly 9070xt. Widen the spectrum to 20% and you have literally 4-5 other cards, even more if you go back to Ampere and RNDA 2.

This is one of the insidious states of things that nV has been working towards for years: stagnate and ultra-atomize the bracket.

Yep. It's pretty awful. Just pure greed, like all of the problems we face are caused by.

Nvidia could have done the decent thing and made the 5080 the 5070ti, the 5070ti the 5070 and built a respectable 5080 that sat at about 20 % faster than the current 5080 and with 20 or 24gg vram.

Every generation, the price and perf ratio gets worse and worse. Where do they go from here next time..?

I'm late to the party and only just discovered there's no FE 5070 TI so there's gonna be zero chance of any going for MSRP :(

Was hoping to upgrade my little 3060 TI!

Yeah think most are best waiting for a 5080 fe unless you can find a 5070 ti for close to msrp
