I was going to right away but I can't justify over a grand just on a GPU. My 3080 is showing its age but I've still been able to play everything I've wanted to. There's also no Cyberpunk type graphical powerhouse coming out anytime soon to entice me to throw money at Nvidia.

Also on a 3080 and it's been a great card. I would like around a 50% uplift in raster (and at least 16GB VRAM) to justify an upgrade, so I'm particularly interested in the 5070 ti. All going to come down to price. In my opinion, the 5070 ti needs to be around a 4080 in raster/RT for less money. Ideally around 700 GBP but I'm guessing it'll be closer to 800-900 quid (assuming the 5070 will be around the 600 GBP mark and trade blows with the 4070 ti). Not looking like it's going to be a great gen for value! Happy to be proven wrong, but I may have to dip into the used market instead...

Wanting to upgrade my 2070 Super, but so far, everything seems to indicate the 5000-series will launch at near enough £1000, which is preposterous. Considering a 4 year old 3090 has 24GB RAM, and yet these newer cards around the xx70 and xx80 tier are only getting 16GB/20GB still is dumb.

If the performance gain is minimal around the 10-20% mark, I might just try and find a 4070 TI Super or similar somewhere instead.
 
After the initial batch the 5090's are gonna be like hen's teeth imo, with AiB's selling in bulk to Pro buyers/China via backdoor for higher prices with hardly any entering the retail channel (similar to Covid).

Not really followed a GPU launch before, are there usually embargos on full reviews after the announcement?

yes, they are scheduled as per nvidia's timetable, often 1 day before the cards are available to buy
but this time since nvidia has no competiton they could start selling the 5080/5090 without offering review samples, its possible
also since the launch has been delayed by 3 months, jensen may get terrific ideas cncerning 3rd party reviews, so who knows

Yup, I'd be tweaking settings like mad over the next couple of years to make that 3080 last as long as possible!

Only company who's ever launched a product without reviews I think is AMD when there was preorders for I think the 7970 lol.
