Seems like a solid card thats stupidly over priced

Please be good 7900 xtx

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Good morning viewing. Watching now.

 

[winjer]

Searching for these 4080s, in stores around here, found them between 2199 to 2521 Euros.

Yep, it's gonna be a shit show.

Nvidia wants to be the Apple of GPU. Fuck em.

 

[Thaedolus]

Time to retire the old 1080ti…

…sometime next year…

 

[Xyphie]

Continues to amaze me how CPU limited the 4090 is at anything but 4K (and then still some) and raytracing. This is with a 5800X3D and just a 12-13% improvement.

 

[Gaiff]

Time to retire the old 1080ti…

There won't be stocks until tomorrow. The card isn't out yet.

[Bragr]

People who buy new GPUs are the biggest suckers in gaming.

 

[winjer]

The performance increases are good for this generation, but prices, make it one of the worst generations ever.

 

[Insane Metal]

Well that's quite the ridiculous pricing. Fuck Nvidia.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Yeah fuck people doing whatever they please with their money, right?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

People who buy new GPUs are the biggest suckers in gaming.

This doesn't help anything. Why do we buy 10 dollar coffee or eat a meal for 60? Because we can.

Granted, I have a 4090 but why does it matter if you can afford it.

 

[Midn1ght]

European Retailers Slap Premiums on Nvidia RTX 4080 Graphics Cards

From the official Nvidia page in my country:
(Starting at 1.469€)

 

[tusharngf]

3080 $699
4080 $1199

Doesn't make sense

 

[Haggard]

Granted, I have a 4090 but why does it matter if you can afford it.

You don`t seem to understand the most basic market principles of supply and demand....

It doesn`t matter how or if someone can afford it, just that he`s stupid enough to actually do it.
As long as enough idiots are willing to overpay the price hike continues, simple as that.

 

[analog_future]

What are the odds that the 7900XTX matches this in average performance?

 

[Tomi]

3080 $699
4080 $1199

Doesn't make sense

Tell me what makes sense in this life?

Nothing :/

 

[Insane Metal]

What are the odds that the 7900XTX matches this in average performance?

In pure raster it will probably be close enough.

 

[winjer]

3080 $699
4080 $1199

Doesn't make sense

NVidia is pretending that the mining craze is still going on.

 

[HoofHearted]

Will be very interesting to see where performance of the 7900XTX sits...

That and the other obvious question is - will it melt?

 

[Warnen]

So is it worth upgrading a 3080ti considering would have to buy a new case…. Looks like a nope. Maybe amd…

Let them. Granted AMD could help by continuing to be competitiv but at this tier, do whatever you want. The higher end is what it is but people will be smart and make the right choice for what fits you.

The problem is there's no competition at the high end, if you want bleeding edge you have to go Nvidia. This isn't an objective scenario like cars, food, etc .The 4090 is the best gaming GPU available right now, full stop.

 

[Haggard]

but people will be smart and make the right choice for what fits you.

Good joke.
People go into debt over TVs and smartphones nowadays........
Create enough desirability/buzz/hype and the hordes of idiots will literally tie a noose around their own necks to "belong".

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Good joke.

Create enough desirability/buzz/hype and idiots will hang themselves to "belong".

Let them. No harm no foul.

These prices are not the best for the industry, especially at the 4080 mid-range. The performance is solid but that's it.

The 4090, that fits given the performance gain.

 

[GymWolf]

Searching for these 4080s, in stores around here, found them between 2199 to 2521 Euros.

Fucking christ.

 

[FingerBang]

This is an unjustifiable bump up in price for the 80 series. This, for a card that technically isn't even in the same tier as the 3080. Just ridiculous.

Nvidia offered a reasonable jump from the 3090 for a slightly higher price, but what do you get here buying this from a 3080? And seriously, you found $1200 for a graphics card and can't find $400 more for a 4090?

This is unfortunate. Imagine if this was priced around the same price as the 3080. Or even more expensive, at $800. It'd be a great product. Hell, even at 900 it would have been reasonable. The performance is impressive, nonetheless.

 

[Gen.Grievous]

3080 $699
4080 $1199

Doesn't make sense

As long as people are willing to pay outrageous amounts for GPUs they won't be dropping the prices. These cards will all sell out day one and the only competition is not showing up for at least a month.

 

[marjo]

4080 is about 50% faster than 3080. Ok, that seems like a decent, if not spectacular, gen on gen improvement... if it were the same price.

Given that it's also 71% (msrps) more expensive, it's a complete joke.

 

[winjer]

They will only continue to practice these prices, if people continue to buy them.

 

[Warnen]

Lets face it they still gonna sell out and go for close to 2k on secondary market...

Check back in a few months see whats what.

 

[//DEVIL//]

I love my 4090 FE and I enjoy the technology Nvidia try to push like dlss and frame generation. But the 7900xtx is gonna crush this 4080 and eat it for breakfast.

With all the 16 pins connector issues too.. the 7900xtx at msrp ( I can’t stress this enough because AMD AIB cards are way more expensive than Nvidia cards (same cooler )), then rhe 7900xtx is really a great great value

 

[nikos]

Pretty much what I expected, which is why I went with a 4090 and have no regrets. The extra performance is worth the extra cost.

 

[Black_Stride]

What are the odds that the 7900XTX matches this in average performance?

The 7900XTX should easily match probably even beat the 4080 in raster.
For raytracing maxed out its still hard to tell, but its unlikely to really challenge the 4080 in games that throw the full bevy of RT features.

They will only continue to practice these prices, if people continue to buy them.

While we dont know how they will price the 4070(Ti)....people made enough of a stink that they had to unlaunched the 4080'12G.
If every reviewer keeps harping how stupid the 4080'16G is, and the comments sections/reddit/GAF/Twitter keep insulting its price and the suckers who are paying for it.
Nvidia will likely do a price drop at CES or GTC Spring.

We know Nvidia have a few chips to use.
What they could do to keep gouging those that need to get gouged is release the ~10240 CUDA core chip as the 4080'20G at the current price of the 4080'16G.
Cut the price of 4080'16G to something reasonable....id even take 900 dollars AIB as reasonable (800 best case).
4070Ti also reannounced at 6/700 dollars.
They still have a ~7100 CUDA core chip for the ~500 dollar 4070
The 6144 CUDA core chip goes to the 4060Ti.


People who want 24GB VRAM and a 4090 will pay whatever for it.
But for Mainstream/Enthusiast class cards like the xx80s and xx70s....they are asking too much.

If I can hold out till GTC Spring, im 78% sure they will announce a 20GB card and probably a price drop.

 

[Max_Po]

I don't know how people stand that long haired master race jebus.

The guy is fucking unbearable... so incoherent ...

 

[Hendrick's]

This doesn't help anything. Why do we buy 10 dollar coffee or eat a meal for 60? Because we can.

Granted, I have a 4090 but why does it matter if you can afford it.

It encourages the shitty pricing we are seeing.

 

[Leonidas]

Huge improvement in perf/watt over previous gen.

Shame about the form factor and price. I might have bought one if it could fit in my setup.

 

[Nvzman]

Thank God for AMD not going bonkers with their pricing too, even if the 7900XTX ends up slightly inferior to 4080 it's STILL better value

 

[Cryio]

What are the odds that the 7900XTX matches this in average performance?

7900 XTX will demolish 4080 in raster. It will be 3090 Ti at best in RT.

 

[Calling 911 Melts Beams]

i bought a pallet of these to use as an anchor for my yacht since thats all theyre good for

 

[MikeM]

Good card, shit price.

Cheapest on Newegg Canada is about $2700 before tax. Lol

 

[YCoCg]

good card, B.A.D price

 

[AncientOrigin]

What are the odds that the 7900XTX matches this in average performance?

The 7900xtx will be better more powerful probably 7900xt too.In RT maybe they are equal or the 4080 will have a tiny edge

 

[MiguelItUp]

Good card, bad price, I still can't believe they haven't addressed the whole melting plug thing. It's so sad seeing the community putting everything together because Nvidia hasn't addressed anything yet. It's been a circle of people claiming one thing, it fails, claiming another, it fails, etc.

 

[Buggy Loop]

I love my 4090 FE and I enjoy the technology Nvidia try to push like dlss and frame generation. But the 7900xtx is gonna crush this 4080 and eat it for breakfast.

Great great value?

The matter of fact is that, AMD is trying to sell you a 6800XT sequel at $999 range. They bumped the price but changed the name. It's not even a tight competition like RDNA 2 vs Ampere last gen with the $999 6900XT vs $1,499 3090, where they were trading tight blows with the 3090 pulling ahead at 4k. Now it looks like the 4090 is simply untouchable in performances.

Not so sure about about 7900XTX eating the 4080 for breakfast. Its matching and even exceeding AMD's own Red dead redemption 2 numbers. It will trade blows in rasterization depending on titles (of course some favoring Nvidia, some favoring AMD, we all know the games by now), with mostly the 7900XTX pulling ahead. (let's not even go in RT though..) Again, it looks like a déjà vu with 3080 vs 6800XT. Let's wait December 3rd i guess, there's a reason why AMD is wanting a match against the 4080 and not the 4090. 7900XT was basically going against the now gone 4080 12GB. They somehow managed to find a better name to not get the fury of tech youtubers.

And mid range is gonna be crap this gen, big time. Not impressed so far except for the absurd 4090 monster.

 

[Desprado123]

Not only price is the issue but 12 pin circuit as well and still Nvidia is going to sell this even after meltdown of RTX 4090.

 

[twilo99]

What are the odds that the 7900XTX matches this in average performance?

Shouldn't be a problem.
