Why would you buy one at £25,000?

All this "yeah I'm buying one at £2000" is harming PC gaming, not only will it keep prices high, it'll allow game studios to release crappy inefficient games

You think the 5090 or the top end AMD gpu is killing pc gaming?

High end graphics card attribute to less than 2% of the overall market. Most of the market is made up of the 3060ti and 4060 and other budget options.

It being killed by developers wanting to develop for a console where it has one graphics chip and that’s it. Not pc permutations.

Most of developer don’t even have to bother optimising games as they know the PC’s gamer will use dlss/fsr or frame generation.

If we didn’t have that the pc gaming situation would be worse. It got nothing to do with the latest top end cards from either NVIDIA or AMD.

It was already bad enough you in were in the hi fi sub forum spewing nonsensical rubbish. If a card was 25k then you would still not be able to afford just like the other 25k components you recommend in the hi fi forum.

Not the same at all laughable, you compare the two. Like if avrs added a zero on price if would be the same, ripping people off, and if people bought budget avr for £1000 they'll keep on selling them for that.
£2000 it's rip off for people with more than sense.

It's killing pc gaming so go ahead, people still handing over money like they're getting a bargain. I'm getting over pc gaming if this is then way it's going it'll be dead gaming platform in a few years, even "budget " gpu are £300 which are borderline crap.

If people didnt fork out £2000 for GPUs like utter numties Nvidia wouldn't be ripping you off, you only have yourselves to blame with higher and higher prices.

And I bet some here wouldn't even spend £50 on pair of loudspeakers haha but £2000 GPU yeah that's ok.

Maybe they wouldn't spend 50 on a pair of loudspeaker but then maybe it not as important to them as people who would.

Pc gaming has been in decline for years and that's before people were spending 2k on GPUs or 300 for a budget card but so has the landscape of pc gaming.

The days of every other game being released for the pc either being a flight sim or some old school RPG are long gone. Gaming habits of changed that is hardly the fault of a company that releases amongst budget cards halo products.

Just like hifi. Listening habits has changed from the days of class A amps, vinyl/cd collection wall to wall in your house. There will always be the true audio lovers who will still maintain the status quo. But nowadays it about small class D amps, music streaming and compact all in one do it all amps. Would yoi say that was the fault of the high end esoteric companies who released high end, high cost components. Those are the people who would drop 50k on an audio setup but wouldn't spend 1k on a graphics let alone the 2k Nvidia are charging. Are you going to call out those manufacturers for killing musical enjoyment.? Might be a different shoe but it still fits on the same foot.

Pribdbly about who can afford these things and by the looks of it few can afford them whilst many more can afford the lower tier cards or just listen to music on headphones or through a Bluetooth speaker.

It all makes sense really. Not sure about the games but consoles do a good job for a lot more people who need to play games through a tv (again makes sense financially).

It would be a first if they didn't. However, with this news, I wouldn't be surprised if they hold off announcing the 5090 price upfront. I think their strategy will be to let the 5080's price and reviewer marketing e.g. "near-4090 performance for $1200!" sink in first, then announce the pucker-inducing 5090 price (likely well over $2000).
 
Will keep an eye on what the laptop versions being, no rush as I have a a 4080 Legion that isn't even 2 years old yet.

Was going to get a PS5 Pro but after seeing what you have to pay to get the pro package, my Legion has now become my PS5 pro :D
 
Waiting on prices like a lot of people but I also want to see what, if anything, the neural rendering secret sauce is this time around.
 
I'm looking for something with 2 x the performance of my 6800XT for not crazy money (4090 like performance). I suspect the 5080 will be around £1k, which while ridiculous I would stump up for as I want that level of performance to drive my 34" Ultrawide and 4K TV.

1k would be good really.
 
I’ll be looking to upgrade my 3070ti for something that gives me double performance at 1440p, a minimum of 16GB VRAM and no more that what I paid for my 3070ti when it launched, so £540.

Unless AMD pull something out of the bag, I think I might be sitting out another generation of cards.
 
I would like to get a 5090 if I can, but it will ultimately depend on price as many others have said, I'm expecting up to £2k and I'll probably end up paying it. If they want more considerably more than £2k though they can F off, it's already stupidly expensive at the 4090 price point so if they come out saying like £2.5k then it's a definite pass.

That wouldn't make sense to do it that way. Only if the 5090 was cheaper than expected would they try to keep that a secret. If the 5090 was substantially more expensive it would go in the 5080s favour.

That’s my point. People who can afford 2k graphics card can afford £50 loudspeakers but to them that might not be their priority. Vis á vis a person who can afford a 50k hifi or whatever can afford a 2k card but again that might not be a priority.

And the flawed argument for “300 for a budget card is borderline crap”. That is what keeping graphic vendors producing cards and hopefully slowing down the decline of pc gaming as a whole.

For every 4090 or 7900xtx how many 3060’s or Amd equivalents are being sold. 20? 30? Who knows but the users that pay that money is what keeps it alive not the 1-2% who buys the 4090’s or 7900xtx.

If you were a software developer starting up now what would be the easiest option producing a game which ran on the ps5 and Xbox where every single user has the same hardware configuration or cater for the declining pc market where you have 100’s of not thousands of hardware configurations.
 
I don't think I will be upgrading.

I have no need. Current set up is doing the job currently.

I also wouldn't want to pair a RTX 5080 with a 5800x3d on DDR4 ram.

I would want a 9800x3d to go with it, so all in all it looks rather expensive to upgrade.

Plus as I said above, current set up is doing the biz.
 
"And the flawed argument for “300 for a budget card is borderline crap”. That is what keeping graphic vendors producing cards and hopefully slowing down the decline of pc gaming as a whole.”"

I mean they are relatively crap for what they are, £300, when they shouldn't really be. Now they're not great, limited speed, RAM etc. £300 is a lot of money, a few years ago £300 would have bought a top end GPU. Back then you could have got a decent GPU for reasonble amount
