[Trogdor1123]

$600

About Tree Fiddy

 

[Kilau]

He means Maple Bucks.

Though I don't doubt he would spend that much in freedom dollars.

 

[Gaiff]

$2K USD, but it has to be an absolute monster. Right now, that would be something at least 60% faster than the 5090.

 

[Topher]

$1k

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Under 1000 dollars and 1,000 dollars at most even if I was rich. Anything more won't be worth it for a single part.

 

[Puscifer]

1200 but subsidized with the selling of my previous GPU.

I got a 5080 but sold my 4080 for 800

 

[T4keD0wN]

id be upset about it, but id pay 5k euros if it was the cheapest gpu available on the planet and the alternative was cloud.

I doubt we are gonna have to make that choice in the future tho. Hope 7080 is below 2k as thats likely my next one.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Don't think I'd paid more than 1K. There would have to be a game that I really really wanted to play to justify that, even more so considering my never-ending backlog.

 

[reinking]

As little as possible but less than 1k (for now). My problem currently is my brain saw these cards cheaper and it is hard to convince myself that I should pay more for them now. The same goes for other current tech.

 

[GermanZepp]

In my country a rtx 5090 starts from usd 4.000/ 4500. And a rtx 5080 is usd 1750.

Edit: it's cheaper to fly to Miami buy one and return.

 

[Holammer]

About $1,300 for something in the xx80 range.
xx90 would be wasted on me, most of the games I play are simpler indies.

 

[kiphalfton]

$1k

Yeah.

I got close (i.e. a RTX 5070 Ti before price hikes) but ended up returning it.

Whatever it is needs to have 20GB VRAM minimum... Which is now a pipe dram

Yup and even the base price of 750 dollar for a 5070ti, 900 dollars for a 5080, and fucking crazy 2 thousand dollar for a 5090 were all already overpriced in the first place.

I actually paid less than the MRSP 750 dollar for a 5070i because I bought a powerspec G758 in microcenter with a 5070ti, 9800x3d, 32gb, 2td ssd, 360mm aio, 850 watt, windows all for 1900 dollars + tax last year. So overall even cheaper than the base price and especially so if I also factor in saving 200 dollars to have the thing get built and with awesome wire management. Cause I don't think I will even paid 750 dollars for a 5070ti alone in the first place.

 

[diffusionx]

I paid $750 for a 1080ti and I don't think I would go higher.

I don't really care anymore. I passed on the 4080 and 5080 for $1200 ish.

 

[manfestival]

I have paid $2000 so maybe $2500

 

[Kacho]

Like $800. I'll never buy top of the line.

 

[riko]

Not sure I'd spend much more than the $1500 I spent on my launch 4090 just for games.

I bought an RTX 6000 last year at MSRP which was considerably more, but that was for work.

 

[Wilhelm_85]

Probably $2K if I really stretched. $1500 more realistically, but even then it would need to be basically the top card.

 

[Avid Reading Horse]

About that much. Reimbursed from work though so really it was $0.

If I feel like I needed an upgrade, and was going for an all new PC I'd probably budget $5k for the whole thing (minus peripherals). But the way things are going I don't see much of a need for the next couple of years at least.

Yeah, buying a 4090 in 2023 is turning out to have been a great decision.

 

[rm082e]

About $1k at the moment. I see myself being inclined to spend less in the future.

 

[flying_sq]

MSRP probably $5,000 for like a 6090, but I would hope it would be closer to 3 or 4. But I don't pay scalper prices, I'd rather go with what I have until I can get one at msrp.

 

[recursive]

Nice try Jensen. You will just have to guess what my fuck off threshold is.

 

[deriks]

$2K USD, but it has to be an absolute monster. Right now, that would be something at least 60% faster than the 5090.

So in a decade you will get a new GPU, ok

 

[Dacvak]

Guys this is just a coded thread for OverHeat to ask me what I'd do for his 5090, since he's definitely gonna give it to me.

Btw, the answer is "a lot".

But I woooon't do thaaat.

 

[BlackTron]

I'm pretty sure GPUs under $5k will always be around so you don't have to worry about changing hobbies...

 

[Senua]

I dno like 500 squid? i paid 300 quid for a second hand 3080 like 3 years ago.

 

[German Shocks]

I dno like 500 squid?

 

[Magic Carpet]

I had $1200 saved up to get an RTX 5090 on release day. I was willing to go as high as $1500.
But then, BAM $2000 on launch day and up up up from there.

I never got that 5090. I ended up with a 5080 instead.

 

[BlackTron]

Many squid may die, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

 

[ReBurn]

For video games? Probably no more than $1,200. For my professional endeavors? Probably $4K or so. But I'm able to do everything I need right now with my current GPU so no rush on an upgrade.

 

[R3TRO]

4999.99

 

[simpatico]

I could get my head around $999 for the 5080 if it had 32GB.

 

[near]

£1500. So, I'm basically priced out of the good stuff.

The rtx3090 was $1500 at launch, the rtx4090 was $1600 at launch. Why would you expect the 5090 to be cheaper than that at launch?

 

[analog_future]

After living the 5090 life for a year and then deciding to downgrade to a 9070 XT, at this point around $1000 is my limit.


5090 was amazing but was also a very poor value proposition when looking at price to performance. 9070 XT is about 60% as fast for 20% of the price.

1,200 dollars would actually be a fair and reasonable price for a 5090 instead of the crazy 2,000 dollar price tag.

The gtx 1070ti was 400 dollars and gtx 1080 was 600 dollars. The only reason there is such a huge price gap between these two was because 1080/1080ti were the highest level cards at the time since there were no gtx 1090 at that time. Now I don't expect the prices to always be the same with inflation but even with that, 5070 ti should have been 600 dollars at most and 5080 at 750 at most since the 80s tier is no longer the highest. And with the 5090 being 1200. This would honestly be reasonable and fair with what they bring to the table.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Op got his $5K ready.

 

[Gp1]

850 USD (local) on my current 9070xt, and i wouldn't do that again.

 

[dgproject]

For works, a lot, like thousands of dollars.
For gaming, nah, I am satisfied with pc handhelds.

 

[ssringo]

Dunno. What I'm willing to spend gets decided when it's time for me to upgrade and I'm at least a couple years away from having to make that decision. Previously $1k was my max but my last build I splurged a bit (good decision in hindsight) and bought one for nearly $2k.

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

I've never paid more than 3 or $400 for a GPU. They've also always been second hand.

 

[Three]

Paid for a 5090 so pretty high but I'm not saying my max in case Jensen gets some ideas with his AI agents web scraping.

 

[Senua]

 

[LyricalShrike]

I don't have a set limit because it depends on what everything else costs. A $5,000 graphics card in a world where a fast food menu is $40 may not be expensive.

 

[Hoddi]

Probably 1500-2000. I bought the 2080 Ti and 5080 for $1000 at launch and I'm willing to use inflation as an excuse.

DLSS and framegen have started to mask the differences between cards though. I kinda regret buying that 5080 when I could have just bought a 9070 XT for slightly more than half the price. I'm just hoping that DLSS5 makes it worthwhile.

 

[hououinkyouma00]

$600

This. Maybe $650.
