NVIDIA RTX 50 SERIES - Technical/General Discussion

I admire Hardware Unboxed channel's willingness to post in depth on this, exposing why the 5080 is actually a 5070 in all but name, and also an in depth discussion on overpricing. Good on them :cool:

Yep. They just mess around with naming charge you silly moneys for it.

It is half of a 5090 for go sakes. No way does it deserve the 5080 naming. But if they name it a 5070 and want $1000 people would lose their minds. They would get a lot less sales and have a lot more bad press than they are now.

"We saw the 5080 pop up in a few places, but lets be real, nobody wants that"
Boy spitting facts... yet somehow retailers are selling 1800 5080s and they sold out.
I hope it was scalpers who thought they struck gold lmao.

The face people in this very thread are excited they paid 1300-1500 for a 5080 just saddens me.
They could buy a 4080 super for a grand right now and get almost the exact same performance.

I'm one of the idiots who bought a 5080 in that price range and have no regrets whatsoever.

In most benchmarks, the card I bought has performance much closer to a 4090 than a 4080 Super... and considering you can't even buy a 4090 second hand for less than I paid for my brand new 5080 I think I am pretty happy with that.

I mean that cooler for that now has superglue'd fan mounts attached and I've thrown glue all over the PCB ... not sure I'll by able to command a premium price now :D

Yeah, but it has 24GB VRAM which I hear is very important. You will be able to command a premium for that.

So say tree fiddy? :p

Remember the screen shot I sent here 2 days ago?

Basically every single 80 series card has beaten the previous gen flagship, until now...
