Looking forward to the 8800xt, i will just swap it out for my 6700xt in my 7600x build. I cant wait. Maybe later in 2025 i will upgrade my 144hz 1080p monitor to a 1440p 240hz oled

[@carlo1132]

I added a 4tb WD Black nvme to my HP Omen 45L, 14900k/4090, 2tb wd black nvme system. I was running out of space due to game sizes. I stopped watching the fps videos showing my 14900k sucking at 1080p, since I dont game at 1080p I should be fine lol.

I lost my way in the PC building game, currently making my way back, this is refreshing!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Welcome back! I know the feeling. I actually started the channel after taking a break from building for a while and wishing there was a channel dedicated to catching me up (:

At 39 I build my second pc, the first being 15 years ago. Not a year went past and in building my 7th pc atm, great hobby 😅

[@devonmoreau]

his information is really good, i highly recommend this channel ❤

[@jazeenharal6013]

​@@D.Feenstra that's funny, because at 39 I built mine. (About a month ago, just turned 40) I think this one was my 4th builds, but my last one was built literally back in 2007/2008ish. Then I entered a phase of not having the time or money to put into it. I gamed on consoles, which served the job, but wasn't ideal. (And if I build myself a gaming PC, I resolved that it was gonna be a really GOOD one.) I put a Ryzen 9 7900x CPU and 4070Ti Super(16gb RAM) in it. 32GB of RAM, 2tb Samsung NVME and a 27inch 1440p 165hz refresh rate monitor. I had forgotten the freedom and quality of PC gaming and the ability to crank all settings to absolute maximum. The 4079ti super is an absolute beast; most importantly, the 16gb of VRAM it has. Can't wait. I haven't been excited like this in awhile.

[@D.Feenstra]

@@jazeenharal6013 I turned 40 3 weeks ago haha. Went from 4th gen i5 to 5700x3d with a 4070. I don't really game that much but build pc's to sell as a hobby now. Not to make tons of money of it, just for fun and it's really satisfying to build a cheap capable pc for 4-500 euros and sell it to someone who's budget just isn't bigger :)

[@thatguyshaq7053]

They'd have to restock so they'd need the extra revenue. I buy 2 units at $5 each Sell at $7 per My cost increases to $6 per. If I sell my existing stock at the price pre cost increase, I'd be losing due to operational expenses and restocking.

@@PCBuilderChannelI laughed when you mentioned 3070 owners. I upgraded from a 3070Ti because the vram was killing the performance in nearly all the games I enjoy. It was an EVGA FTW3 and I’m keeping it forever. That card reminds me of me why I no longer buy Nvidia - the way they drove EVGA out of the market and the reality that they gimp cards below the 80-class as an up-selling technique.

[@ravijotsingh7831]

I am expecting that AMD will destroy our expectations again. Nvidea is not even in my radar anymore. What matters to me is $300-$500 range GPUs. That's it. As $300 GPUs can perform at 1440p fine and $500 will be the most amount of money you will need to spend for the great experience. 4k might be good just like 8k is awesome but that doesn't mean cards can perform at that level. DLSS don't count.

[@MormonDude]

Didn’t LTT do a video on how there isn’t really a huge appreciable difference between 4K and 8K?

[@DenverStarkey]

@@MormonDude yeah i think they did . but general rule of thumb it's about pixel density (pixels per inch) versus size of the screen you are viewing. 8k diferences is only noticeable on screens 65" and up as that's the size where 4k pixel desnsity starts getting noticably lower than 1080p on a 40 inch screen . the difference between 4k and 1080p is only noticable on screen 32 " and up for the same reason. put 1080 and 4k on screens that are only 25 inches and you'll not see a difference because 1080p pixel density is already so packed on that screen size. same for 8k on a 42" screen size you can't really see the difference between 4k and 8k , but go to a 80" screen and it becomes extremely noticable. bassically if you're running a desktop monitor that is 27-32 1440p will be amazing for you , if you're on a 32-55 inch screen 4k is where it's at. and well if nyou're rich enough to get an 8k screen that 60+ inches then yeah you'll want 8k ... but for most folks that sort of TV/monitor is just not in reality for them or their wallet.

[@tilapiadave3234]

Luckily nobody cares what you think

[@jarivuorinen3878]

@@DenverStarkey Pixel density stuff makes no sense this way. 65 inch screen you wouldn't stick 700 mm from your nose, it'd simply be uncomfortable to constantly turn your head to look at the edges. Big screens are for longer viewing distances and thus pixels appear smaller again, so pixels per inch is not the ruling factor. You can't really watch a movie or play a game or anything like that if you're practically only looking the middle of the screen, while form factor on 1080p, 1440p, 4K, and 8K is the same anyway. There are very niche use cases when you look at huge screen up close and these are basically what multi-monitor setups already achieve, and it is to have separate content on each, for productivity tasks, for photo and video editing on professional level. There you may stick your huge display to your nose, but for gaming makes no sense. There is exception of course for gaming, VR. These are essentially maximum FOV displays and benefit from high pixel density. There are guidelines for viewing distances for televisions, and these are not just marketing bull. Same applies to monitors. 8K of course could make sense in the world where games could natively render to it in feasible way, but this day is not yet, unless you're happy with extremely low FPS. This could solve some problems with jagged edges without the typical anti-aliasing blurriness. But this is largely achieved already with 4K. Unfortunately, many games set a limitation with piss poor quality textures projected on objects, and this trend is ongoing. High pixel density won't make that kind of slop go away, you'll just see the 2D texture resolution more clearly. This is the eyesore that high resolution will never fix, if source material is poor then that is what gets displayed.

Looking at NVIDIA's greedy launch history, here are my predications for the up coming launches: 5090 @ launch: $2,899./after launch: $3,500./5080@ launch:$1,400./after launch: $1,600/5070@launch: $1,100./after launch: $1,300./AMD RX 8800XT @launch: $1,200./after launch: $1,300./ One last prediction, AMD will launch a XTX card either in the 3rd QTR of 2025 or early 2026.

[@doaks31]

I understand your point on the 8800 XT, but it is such a pet peeve of mine when the community declares "Product X SHOULD NOT cost more than $YYY". Like... We don't even know the performance of it yet. We don't even know how NVIDIA's product stack is priced yet. Based on the collab with Sony it is not hard to imagine massive leaps in RT leading to performance around a 4080. Do I think this is likely? Not really. But if this was the case $600 will be a GREAT deal. We should only care about getting better performance per cost and not draw arbitrary lines in the sand.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

I hear you! And you're right lots of factors will go into this.

[@PohnnyRico]

imagine 4080 performance for 600. how stupid would i feel i if i paid 1300 for a 4080 or 4080s. (even if it had-15% less performance)

[@doaks31]

@PohnnyRico It's a bit of wishful thinking, but the PS5 Pro technical seminar was very informative. Sony + AMD have been working at this for years and RDNA3 was just too soon to see any of that R&D payoff. The more likely scenario is performance around a 4070 Ti Super. Then AMD will have to resist the urge to price at $600 and instead opt for $500, which would be a great value!

[@RADish-official]

Please don’t be 400 for a 5060 🤞

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Right?

[@Ryhillchibulls]

I don't understand why anyone who is in the bracket of people that buy under the 80 series would not go for AMD for more VRAM and better price to performance. I'm not gonna argue. I just hope you all get better.

Unfortunately it seems they dropped the 80 class cards then just moved up the names on all cards below, but then upped the price. So we would have to pay two tiers higher than what we did with the 3000 series and prior. I am a 90 class guy, but $2000+ would be a very hard pill to swallow. I don't think the GPU should take up half or more the total cost of the build.

Thank you! As for the 5080, the only way I can see it maybe being $999 is if the 8800 XT really his that 4080 performance level at $500; if it actually ends up being between a 7900 XT and a 7900 XTX, then I can really see nVIDIA charging $1200-1300 for the 5080, especially if it is matching the performance of a 4090...

I don't know what articles you read about the tariffs of 2016 but current economic reports estimate it cost the American consumer as a whole around 3.2 billion each month in added tax and 1.4 billion in "real wages" average prices rose an additional 10% to 30% on average which was in line with the tariffs and company's just passing on the bill to consumers. I mean just looking at individual bans the effects where terrible, the china trade war bankrupted the farmers of middle America who sold a lot of their produce to China which forced the government to subsidize them currently with no end in sight since China now simply buys produce from South-America etc. This isn't an economics channel so ill just advice people to listen to you on computer/tech stuff(which you do brilliantly) and to ignore the tariffs section entirely since it doesn't reflect reality. And for the person posing the question, yes if the tariffs do go true company's will raise the price of their inventory even if they imported pre-tariff. That's exactly why a lot of company's are stocking their warehouses currently, no company is going to snuff at free margins since they are in the business of making profits.(which they absolutely should do) The best defence for Trumps "economic plan" is to hope he doesn't fulfil his campaign promise. Which oddly enough goes for a lot of his proposed policies and is a common place defence used by his own voters so no clue where that leaves Americas economical future. Anybody who thinks this wont effect their prices only needs to look at current freighter prices that are already rising by the promise of him being president. Company's don't make bets if it will happen, they will prepare for the worst possible state and charge the consumers extra for their added cost's.

Bought the Rtx 4060ti 16 gb for 400 Euro a month ago cause i needed it for AI software. Its now almost 500 Euro

[@jefff3886]

In a way, I hope they don't price the 5000's at $299. Just last Christmas, my gift to myself was a used 3060ti for $300. I would hate to think that for the same price I could have had a 5000 series, even if it's an entry-level 5000. C'est la vie. Such is the life of a home-builder. Actually, upgrading from a GTX980, I am beyond thrilled with the RTX 3060ti, and it's going to be carried over into my next mobo upgrade, if and when.

[@keblin86]

Still on my 3070 2k res and so far no issues.

[@Agent.Orange.]

Jason, ima cry bruh, amazon canceled my rtx 4070 ti super, seems like it was a scam, thank god to amazon for that, well back to square one. Will just have to wait for ANY 16 gb or higher gpu.... INTEL arc seems interesting.... .. *Cries in VRAM*

[@Loki_Trickster]

Managed to pick up a b580 card for $5 over MSRP. At local mom and pop. Can't really call it a paper launch when they were just basing it off demand from its last generation. It's popularity just happen to skyrocket because of its price/preformance

Welcome back to PC Builder I'm Wasted! 😂 😂 lol

[@H4xooR]

I'm switching to 9800x3d from my good'ol 10700k,but at this rate my 3070 gonna steel itself for what the come. With these prices it have to hold out for god knows how long.

[@PurpleRupees]

2k 5090 and 1k 5080 makes the huge cut down seem sensible. I agree with you on how the 90 class can be something ridiculous because it's the best performance on the market. And that 80 class has to offer some value on the basis of being less powerful. Worst case is $1200 for about 4090 performance and I think that's still worth and I might get one

[@tistats]

Considering I got my 4090 for 1400 with my Best Buy birthday coupon, that doesn’t seem like a deal at all.

[@PurpleRupees]

@tistats I think you got a beyond exceptional deal. Enjoy it

[@W9HJBill]

My 3080Ti FTW3 puts out more FPS at 4K than my monitor can handle, so ... I'll mostly skip the 5000/8000 series cards until the next generation cards are announced and spend my money on a new 32" 4K with 240Hz refresh rate for most likely less money than a 5080Ti.

[@riyoriyote]

People talking about replacing their 30/40 series and I'm here on my 1070 like, "am I a joke to you?"

[@oopsydaisy4637]

I expect the same with Nvidia. 5080 mark up to 4090, 5070 mark up to 4080 etc. They've been doing it for 12yrs since the 780

[@DarkStar-qe2qu]

Nvidia fanboys claiming vram doesn't matter as much with their gpus because they have some magical feature to use less vram is ridiculous.

[@tilapiadave3234]

AMD fanboys ;living in mum's basement and pretending Radeon is competitive ,, they are a JOKE

[@DarkStar-qe2qu]

@tilapiadave3234 nvidia cards are great but some people think they magically use less vram for some reason to warrant spending tons of money on a 8gb card is nonsense.

[@tilapiadave3234]

@@DarkStar-qe2qu I have no thoughts that Nvidia are magic ,, just superior. Vram is not the answer to all problems ,, the Vram acts as a buffer for when the gpu processor needs more time to process the inputs ,, so a slow card such as the RX 7600 xt is basically a waste of vram , and that is why an 8gb vram RTX 4060Ti trounces it in many games. A faster card with extra vram Not just a gpu with more vram is the answer. Otherwise I would buy cheap GT 1030 ( 2GB ) and add extra 14 GB of ram.

[@coolissimo69]

Question what you ratter buy a 5080 or a 4090 ???

[@yanyanfourtwenty]

I'll be saving for a 8700/8800 for next year. Just enough time to get me a bit informed on performance metrics on them new cards before I purchase.

[@Mike-s9d]

I'm getting back to PC building after years being away. Is it just me or have manufacturers forgotten about efficiency? These new GPU are using ridiculous amounts of wattage.

[@mars009]

I bought a 4080S for $950 (before tax), and now have the chance of getting a 7900xtx hellhound for $800, but have a hard time deciding whether to swap or just return, wait, and hope for the best

[@atomic3325]

On the high end Nvidia is going to do whatever they want because there is no competition. The best we can hope for is same price as now plus 100 to 200. The real battle will be at midrange i think. Depends on who announces first and how aggressive they get.

[@joriewillard8826]

Marketeers for Nvidia are being told to tell the audience's that the 80&90 are so expensive because there professional cards. So expect the 90 @ 2600 and the 80 @ 1600. The 70Ti is for the common folk.

[@moishazilberman1452]

Upcoming 9950X3D + RTX5080, maybe the best combo for productivity and gaming! PS: Only if Lisa will prove that :)

[@dustinberthold962]

Prices for GPUs have gotten to the point that a crash needs to happen. Still rocking the 1080Ti(7 years later) and am still very happy :) Prices are just not worth it...

[@PCBuilderChannel]

I would say remember you don't need the latest and greatest only to build a fantastic gaming pc or upgrade. Its easy to get caught up in the hype but like you're saying there are perfectly reasonable cards that will give great performance!

[@KnightmareUSA]

That's like waiting for a crash on medium to high end smartphones. The biggest influence in the short term could be Intel with it's 'budget' range

[@dustinberthold962]

@@KnightmareUSA Fair point, but I heard Apple is having difficulties pushing out new phones due to very small, incremental, improvements with crazy prices.

[@creativefutures]

it doesnt matter if the tariff hits or not. prices on items and electronics are already set to increase. just like during covid. the prices are increasing due to greed. you are going to see cards hit new all time highs and prices on cpus will be competitive.
