Ah no, none of that. I currently have an RX 480. Yup broke ass poor PC gamer here. It's just more about these outrageous sky high prices for graphics cards.You’d rather quit PC gaming than give AMD a try?
Granted my last Radeon was an ATI Radeon x800 Pro but the drivers were great and the card was awesome.
True. It's none of that, but this scaling up of prices, which makes sense business wise for the companies, but not for regular people with family trying to navigate hard times.This 4080 is expensive but it is going to beat modern games to a pulp. Kinda overkill. Right now, you can get pretty good stuff for $200-$500. If pc gaming means having a "flagship" gpu then yeah it might be too expensive. There's no rule that says a pc has to wipe the floor with consoles.
Controversial take, but it is starting to feel that way.People who buy new GPUs are the biggest suckers in gaming.
Even last gen is still expensive for me. Will wait a few more months/years to see were this goes.Dunno seems like a great time to buy last gen gpu at a major discount…
Never a better time to jump in!
Never said anything like that. It is though dependant on the cost of itThis is cute
Your hobby of PC gaming depended on a specific company and series of card?
It will not. They will all sell out even the ridiculously priced ASUS ones. The prices are so high that scalping will not be as much of a problem as it was with the 3000 series. The 4090s are selling for 2k on ebay, which is like a 100-200 buck take depending on shipping and taxes.According to the theory that says anyone with $1k will just spend 60% more for a 4090, these 4080's should sit on shelves. Somehow I don't think it's gong to work out that way.
It probably will sell more. That doesn't mean they are right. NVidia has 4x the market share of AMD on GPUs so they should sell more. At the very least they will be manufacturing roughly 4x the cards and cards sell out for weeks after launch at a minimum. If AMD magically stockpiled a ton and has ramped up production then maybe they can do some damage, but that is a lot of ifs.If this card sells more than AMD's offering then you know Nvidia was right in their pricing.

But seriously, just grab a used RTX 2080 Ti. They’re like $400-$450 these days and still very powerful cards.
They've got to leave some space for the 4080 Ti @ "only" 1499.99$Hahahaha Nvidia are taking a piss and any suckers who buy this deserve to be scammed.
The 4090 is basically a different generation.
More than that it would show how dumb Nvidia customers are.If this card sells more than AMD's offering then you know Nvidia was right in their pricing.

4090 is a monster honestly. I feel like even the current CPUs are not letting it breath fully. It could end up that even 1 to 2 years down the line with better CPUs that the performance delta of 4090 keeps getting better.
As digital foundry pointed out though, quite amazing that for such a slice of silicon, the 4080 even keeps up that kind of performance. Either there's a lot of silicon in 4090 that won't really be stressed until we see crazy path tracing games ala Cyberpunk 2077 overdrive or such.
I'm not buying any damn cards this gen as anyway, i'm only on ultrawide 1440p and the 3080 Ti is plenty enough (for now), but i think the 4090 is way better placed against the 7900XTX than the 3090 was placed against the 6900 XT. It really seems like 4090 is in a league of its own.
Hmmm, maybe AMD could do an unlaunching of the 7900xtx, and announce a higher price.The 4080 is flying off shelves just as predicted. Nvidia can charge whatever they want.

I still can't believe the 4080rtx sold out,
limited supply, scalpers, high demand,
can someone explain to me what's going on?
Why you don't go for the 3080?Time to retire the old 1080ti…
…sometime next year…
DLSS 3 is 40 series exclusive right?Why you don't go for the 3080?
Yeah but. Seems a bit shitty right now anyway and few games support it.DLSS 3 is 40 series exclusive right?

CPU wise I think we have finally some good prices right now for the previous gen. GPU wise not so sure. Do you recommend any models?
I just upgraded from a 570 I've had since 2018. It came down to the 6600 and 6700 lineup and I ended up with a used 6600xt for $200. I'm happy with the performance and especially the price. I'm all over these new releases because it's fun but I even looking at $1,000 card.
The 6600XT is a great card for that price. Ad FSR 2.x and it's even better.
And the best thing is that you can mod FSR 2.x into most games that use DLSS 2.x
RTX 40-series are by far the most efficient GPUs out today.Waiting for the 50 series. Need them to figure out how to make these more efficient. Also hoping they get their head out their ass with these prices.
They might be crinegworthy expressions, but the reality is they work and get clicks and the content creator runs to the bank laughing with a smile on his/her face.Are there any Youtubers who don't put out thumbnails with absolutely cringeworthy expressions?
Welp...do it better. I got a 3080...I don't play in 4k on PC. Basically 1440p 144 to 165 FPS. For over $1000 i think it's a better move to upgrade the CPU to AM5, again, when prices get better.RTX 40-series are by far the most efficient GPUs out today.
im a parent too, but eh that stuff takes all the fun/engagement out of it for me.I do sometimes for cash or something easy. I'm a parent who has less time these days. Tactics Ogre is the last game that came to mind. Cash and maybe a 5 xp boost until I found out about the cap. The Deck helps a lot.
Is that so? Why? Cause you know I am right. Don't challenge something and then back out if you have no good argument to make lol. Backpeddles like a little kid. Such children.Edit: "Meh, not worth it"
Its a combination of factors. Scalpers are a tiny one, but highly visible because there is no stock. The demand for 4080 should be higher than 4090 because of the price but overall the initial drop seemed to immediately go to OoS.Hmmm, maybe AMD could do an unlaunching of the 7900xtx, and announce a higher price.
