[@michaelbauers8800]

An important point. In which case, people should vote with their wallet, and say I can live without all the bells and whistles of Nivida, and buy AMD. As you can get the XTX at list price. Or wait a few months until March. and see what AMD brings to the table. Might be a great reason to vote team red. During Covid, I was on an RTX 3080 waiting list from EVGA. And finally got mine and paid list. When some people were supposedly paying roughly twice list price. We should all discourage scalpers and weak products by voting with our wallets for saner choices. But I admit it, I usually want the best at 1k or less USD. So understand I am a hipocrite. But still, I think it makes sense to spend wisely, unless 2000 or more is nothing to you.

Im glad the 5080 isn't being reviewed too well. It means demand should be relatively low compared to the 5090, meaning I'll be able to get one lol. The gen on gen uplift vs the 4080 Super might be underwhelming, but it still represents a HUGE upgrade for me when compared to my current GPU. I also do video editing and I'm interested in running AI models locally on my computer, and the 5080 has better uplift in those scenarios, it even outperforms a 4090 in DaVinci Resolve. I don't think the 5080 is for anyone that has a 4070 Ti or better, but if you have a 3080 or weaker GPU it's a pretty substantial upgrade.

[@AaronWOfficial]

@@fizzleman If you can handle playing at 60 fps then I can see it. I however need 90 fps bare minimum, so 4k is a huge NOPE from me. After playing in 144fps for so long, I can only tolerate going down to 90 fps now.

[@fvdeddrift]

The heat pipes/vapor chamber and thermal interface is different. The 90 has a vapor chamber and liquid metal, while the 80 has a phase change Honeywell type giddyup and heat pipes. The half a pound difference is probably in that cooling design for the most part. Jeezis! A half pound ?!?!?! Thats pretty nuts actually.

[@Shyningfade]

I just don't understand Nvidia. Clearly, they want people to shell out more for the 90 series - but then they go and make the available stock extremely limited.

nvidia don't really care at this point - I'm sure a few product managers would have a look every few months, but in reality they sell so many cards to datacenter that gamers are a few percent of their revenue. And what would people buy instead, AMD? Regular folk (who don't follow this stuff closely online) will still buy it, or buy a previous-gen card.

I'm waiting for all the cards for this generation to release, including AMD's, before deciding what I want to do.

@ThePorkchop1787 AI could be the future but they need to close the gap between frames and latency.
