That reminds me... I have a couple of friends that dropped like $3k plus a couple years back and all they play is league and other cheap f2p titles.

noticing how every company not making most of their revenue in USD / US is raising prices… look at Apple and even the App Store prices… now I wonder why another green company is not raising their box prices, 
hehe)…They are not announcing much on the low power mobile HW, I think Nintendo must be sweating bullets deciding what to use for the Switch successor or just saying f-it Switch remasters on Switch 2 or just a basic BC layer and going with AMD.
Why would you buy something that ridiculous and bottleneck it with that kind of thing?
Just buy a Samsung TV (eg QN90B) and you'll get your free FPS with minimal input lag.
No you do it just to play computer games.
...it's like one day Ford decided to put GT price on KA.
Yes, but that is not what this thread is about.
It sure wasn't about PS5 until you decided to fanboy.
I just made a comparison, could also use another unit of measurement, like 4 Nintendo switches. It’s not about fanboying, just mentioning the out of portion pricing.
Part of this is general price increases of everything (hey
Part of it is general increased semiconductors design and manufacturing costs at those nodes (restricted availability of advanced nodes playing into this: see also Apple recycling their A15 in the new non pro iPhones).
Part of it is nVIDIA’s assumed mindshare will just get people to pay whatever they ask.
Part of it, again people begging your way into a cross generation forever angle and wishing for iterative / Pro console versions (more hardware released more quickly just to hope to get better performance): on top of adding more complexity for devs to handle and games taking barely advantage of what they can do the bigger problem is delivering performance improvements at the same pace as before when HW performance without increasing cost + power consumption + etc…
It takes longer and longer to get sizeable performance improvements and it takes more and more performance delta and/or costly innovation to deliver actual changes in games.
your PSU needs PCIe 5.0 cables FYI
Wait a couple of months and buy a 3080 Ti for much cheaper than now, and save the money to upgrade in 2 years.
all the cards seem to be coming with adapters in the box. the 4090 is 450 watts so 3 x150 + 75 gives you 525watts to use.
They are not, look at App Store prices for apps and DLC’s… what bleeding edge tech is there? C’mon mate, wake up and look past our preference tinted glassesYour points would make complete sense if you weren't using examples of companies using the latest bleeding edge tech for their latest releases vs Sony who have put the price up of ps5 that's 2 years old and has literally had a redesign stripping out even more pcb and heatsink, power draw to the point that the disk drive version now weighs around the same as the launch digital. So Sony is deffo an outlier here
.How do you know that? The massively and rapidly shifted to increase production volumes in a market where everyone is trying to do the same and you think they are not been gouged by suppliers? That does feel naive
.Ok, will not say what everyone already said. Care to explain why Apple did not raise prices on HW in the US only eitherfor Sony yet it costs the most it ever has. Can you explain why Sony haven't put the price up in the USA? Please don't say the strong dollar lol
?
Consoles are mostly sold at a loss until a little while into the generation. Those companies you mention make crazy high margins on their bleeding edge products.Your points would make complete sense if you weren't using examples of companies using the latest bleeding edge tech for their latest releases vs Sony who have put the price up of ps5 that's 2 years old and has literally had a redesign stripping out even more pcb and heatsink, power draw to the point that the disk drive version now weighs around the same as the launch digital. So Sony is deffo an outlier here
The ps5 is the cheapest it has been ti manufacture and ship worldwide for Sony yet it costs the most it ever has. Can you explain why Sony haven't put the price up in the USA? Please don't say the strong dollar lol
Wait, a 3090 is still more powerfull than a 4080? You mean the 4080 12gb version?
Sooooo, for the price of 3 complete ps5 systems without optical drive, you get 1 video card which is useless without all the other stuff you have to buy. Sounds like an excellent deal for slightly nicer graphics
The TF numbers seem inflated as fuck once again seeing how a 3090 is 36TF. They're meaningless at this point to make any comparison with anything.
Above psycho? How it is called? Amber heard mode?
Welcome to Sweden…900$ for 4060 and 1200$ for 4070
If specs are correct then aftermarket 4090 will end up being closer to 2000, the gap is much greater between 4090 and 4080 then last gen. Waiting for reviews.
Welcome to Sweden…
Already there on founders
Second hand market is your likely betWait, a 3090 is still more powerfull than a 4080? You mean the 4080 12gb version?
P.s. in europe a 3090 is still 1100-1200 euros, same price (or more) of a 4080 12 gb founders.
P.s.s. if someone know a deal for a 3090 for 850 euros in europe send me a pm please
I would never buy a second hand gpu.
Well, they have a GPU called Jetson.
Nvidia^
People are underestimating power consumption. Energy prices are supposed to double in the UK next year. The moment bills start coming you're going to see some people playing multplatform games on their bloody Switch due do performance p/watt. Sounds dramatic and ridiculous but the energy conscious will go there.
There's new price cap for two years so it's only going up in October for me roughly 40-60 month so not to bad.
It makes some sense as you have a LOT of compute power available and in many PC’s your GPU VRAM is where most of the data the games uses resides… but yeah without shared memory for CPU and GPU it makes things a bit complex (lots of moving data back and forth).
.
I'd be super surprised if we see the 3090 get that cheap.
