Each to their own obviously, hell some folk don’t even want glass panel cases while other want it ‘360’
It gets messy like that , you can compare again when the 9070xt hits its lowest price during its cycle
Mad manI’ve my Pc watercooled for literally no other reason other than aesthetics- and I’m nearly 50…..make of that what you will

Mine is pimped out like an 80’s disco, vertically mounted watercooled gpu, fan leds that react to sound, the whole shebang - and yet the whole thing is hid under my desk (for the time being) so I don’t even notice it when gaming. But I know she looks purdy and that makes me happy.
Not a single card is available for the equivalent of $750 at the moment in the UK and it will likely be months before that is the case (generally). More like £850 on OC at the moment and practically nothing in stock.

For all we know, AMD could have a fudge figure built in to existing costs so they could also cut price.
We won't know until reviews, but using TPU's relative performance charts and adding 36% to the GRE (that was the raster advantage HWU came up with according to AMD's charts) has the 5080 at 20% ahead, which to me is a tier up.
Tbf the 3080 was a top tier card, the 3090 was only around 15% faster.
Maybe you're right, maybe it's the compression thing. It just seems there's always an excuse when it's AMD. When AMD released the 8GB 290Xs then 4GB (which the 980s had) wasn't enough. Then when the FuryX released with 4GB, suddenly HBM was magic and it made 4GB basically infinity memory. So 4GB wasn't an issue then.Is this an nvidiaesq statement? Sometimes I think you lean too much to the one brand but hard to tell just by text. What people may not have picked up on this gen is the element of compression. I was drawn to this in todays AMD reveal where the second guy talking about the hardware mentions 'enhanced memory compression'. Now nvidia seem to have done this in their presentation through neural texture or something like that. So perhaps this has some reasoning to why 16GB seems to be "enough"?
I know what you mean, I do like the look, well, not even the look, more the idea of my PC being watercooled. It does look nice and the temperatures are great and it can also be quiet. Of course I'm too lazy to go to the effort of watercooling my PC these days but I keep telling myself I will again, one day...I’ve my Pc watercooled for literally no other reason other than aesthetics- and I’m nearly 50…..make of that what you will
I have had an RT card for 18 months. It's nice but it's hardly essential.
