I don't see that. DDR7 should have significant uplifts! Even with only a 256bit interface. But the question is how those new Rasterisation and RT Cores are compaired to the 4000er series. Upgrading from a 4080 to a 5080 is very stupid otherwise. If the power draw would not be that extreme I actually would think about a 5090 despite it's cost. I will wait for the first Benchmarks before even thinking of an upgrade. If the 4080 is still close to the 5080 I will not upgrade for annother 2 years. I am using RT and DLSS heavily in my games, so they are still the only logical GPU's at the moment for me. Maybe waiting for a 4090 on the Used Market is a better choice.
I still think the VRAM amounts on AMD are overkill and the FSR is terrible.... Very rarely will you run out of 12GB of VRAM on the 4070 at 1440p. The HIGHEST I've personally seen is 10.5GB VRAM usage. 16GB on the 4080 is good for 4k gaming as the textures can only get so sharp at those resolutions. 8k gaming isn't worth going into considering there aren't many 8k displays. That's just my take. 1080p is good with 4GB to 8GB, 1440p is good with 12GB to 16GB, and 4k with 24GB to 32GB is perfect.
@@GDColbert It isn't about enough Vram when you buy it, it's about enough until you're ready to replace it. Vram needs of games have been climbing significantly the last few years. Now if you're upgrading every single generation then it's likely enough (chance it isn't though). If your like most and upgrade every other gen or every third then it's likely not enough. Which is why Nvidia does this crap. They want your money every generation, and perhaps even midway when you start running out half way through and your only choice is suffer at lower setting than you want or buy the next vram size up card.

I haven't been "excited' For a GPU launch since the GTX 10XX series. Even RTX 30XX was basically a fluke that only benefited the earliest and latest adopters because they certainly were not anywhere near MSRP for most their time on the market. GTX 1080 Ti will stand in my mind as the greatest GPU of all time, and everything that's come afterwards has been a huge money racket aimed at the tippy top consumer and no one else. Don't forget this long road we are still on, all started with the original GTX Titan. Unless you buy the Halo product your not only over paying, but feeling like you got stiffed on something you shouldn't (whether it's memory, CUDA, RayTracing performance, whatever). It is legitimately starting to feel like Nvidia especially, just release the rest of their new GPU family to make the Halo product look more compelling to people who don't need one. Unlike you however, I can't say that I "feel dread" over GPU launches anymore - Primarily because I literally can no longer afford most modern GPU pricing. This current generation was the straw that sent it beyond my financial grasp. But to be fair: No one is forcing you to buy the latest and greatest of the most expensive new graphics cards. There no reasonable excuse to be fearful about it a new graphics card launch, when you can hold on to what you already have. I'm more than anything just disappointed in the state of the market for PC gamers (no AI enthusiasts or Professionals). Probably much as I am also frustrated that the mid-range is where it is in terms of availability, offerings and (of course) pricing as a result of this push for the Halo products. But such is the way of life. I enjoyed all those years of amazing hardware bumps at more reasonable pricing and having beast SLI rigs in later years that cost less than a RTX 4080S does now. Those were good times!
1080 was the last great hoo rahh, simply gouging now. I'm not paying used care prices for a top tier VG card GTFO And to prepare for the replies absolutely not paying for it. They will price themselves out of attainable products. This actually could be a plan of theirs? Who knows, but Intel scalper can GFTT.
I'm angry at NVIDIA fanboys who buy every year at any price, and it's because of them and them alone that NVIDIA has normalized the practice of offering absolutely indecent prices. NVIDIA fanboys have literally condemned all consumers.

I wonder if the members section has director's cut of tech news. I'm getting real curious about the edits from Joe that don't make it to the final releases...
I already set youtube to english which solved the issue a few weeks back. But about yesterday it started translating into my native language again and not even changing my country to US helped. It's insane. And it's translating more titles than ever before...
I picked up home front revolution for $3 because it has a full native port of time splitters 2 in it. Which I modded the game to remove every unnecessary home front file and to patch up time splitters 2 to make it run better. It's glorious and has been fun going through the campaign again
Had my 4090 plugged in for 2 years and use the shit out of it, not one issue ever. I believe it's the same for like over 95 percent of people that have one too. Let it go
@@bradtraq1 A .5% failure rate is to high, let alone 5. It's a bad design for that level of power with only one side cliped in. Now they have mitigated it some, And I can see it for 400 watts just barely. 600, nope. If I'd turned in a project design for my EE classes that poorly thought out I'd have gotten a poor score. Mind you the teachers there all had real world experience with what can happen if you don't have adequate safety margins for the full range of use cases and untrained (even 'trained' in a few of their war stories) users.
@kaseyboles30 That's just a number I made up. If it was still a big issue 2 years later we'd still be constantly hearing about it because everybody loves crying about everything, but we don't cause it's not a huge thing if you plug it in correctly. Most electronic items have a fail rate that's higher than 0.5 percent . You're just being unrealistic. Edit to say I looked it up and it has a .04 percent failure rate. So there you go.
@@bradtraq1 I wouldn't trust Nvidia's numbers on this. There are repair shops that handle warrenty repairs as subcontractors still seeing new cards come in regularly, several a day in denser populated areas. The most common is the 1st revision to the connector as the previous version cards have all either perma diead, fallen out of warrenty, or been replaced with newer connectors. The last revision is just a few a month as it's newer and less prone to unchecked failure.
For anyone disapointed they didn't grab a 7900gre I opted for for the 7900xt (as it was only 10% more expensive at the time so better value) and I would highly recomend. (At a good price of course don't overspend given the new cards launch really soon)

Thanks to you Paul and Joe for bringing such great content for the entire year. I hope you both enjoy the holidays and some much deserved rest. See you in 2025.
I can understand why they skimp on vram for the low-mid end cards, but skimping on the 5080 is insane. You're not going to upsell people to a card twice the price just for vram.
If you don't upsell to the 5090 today, you'll upgrade to the 6080 in a couple years when you otherwise would have waited because you're feeling that VRAM squeeze. Either way, Nvidia upsells you.
That and linux issues with nvidia are why I'm looking forward to more info about the next gen of Radeon cards. Hopefully they bring out something compelling this time.
Great episode. Especially loving your coorporate translations. Thanks for a great year of Tech news. This series is the best I have seen of it's kind on UA-cam. I bought EA WRX 24 for 12 bucks or something like that, and I do intend to play it, though I have a lot of games, that I have never played in my Steam library, like everyone else.
Paul, Regarding the Steam sales, I bought Octopath Traveler II, Cobalt Core, Technotopia (because it reminded me of a board game I have), and Space Trash Scavenger. I'm currently playing the first two titles and may start Space Trash Scavenger soon. I don't know when I'll get around to Technotopia, but it's on the list.
Merry Christmas Paul, & your Family! Merry Christmas Joe! I picked up Eldon Ring on the Steam sale for $46.00 Cdn.! Been waiting for this Game to go on Sale for Months!!!
To get you to buy a more expensive card instead. Or at least make it likely you'll upgrade next gen instead of gen after like people have been doing for a long time.
CPUs were a massive let down. I was an early adopter of the 7800X3D and nothing has looked remotely interesting for years😭 Here's hoping that the 11000 series or whatever the name it will have an impressive uplift.
I think the 5080 having 16gb is the bigger scandal.

Gpus above 1k dollars that have less them 20gb even tho plenty games hit that with 4k textures is insane.

Had my 4090 plugged in for 2 years and use the shit out of it, not one issue ever. I believe it's the same for like over 95 percent of people that have one too. Let it go
@@bradtraq1 A .5% failure rate is to high, let alone 5. It's a bad design for that level of power with only one side cliped in. Now they have mitigated it some, And I can see it for 400 watts just barely. 600, nope. If I'd turned in a project design for my EE classes that poorly thought out I'd have gotten a poor score. Mind you the teachers there all had real world experience with what can happen if you don't have adequate safety margins for the full range of use cases and untrained (even 'trained' in a few of their war stories) users.
@kaseyboles30 That's just a number I made up. If it was still a big issue 2 years later we'd still be constantly hearing about it because everybody loves crying about everything, but we don't cause it's not a huge thing if you plug it in correctly. Most electronic items have a fail rate that's higher than 0.5 percent . You're just being unrealistic. Edit to say I looked it up and it has a .04 percent failure rate. So there you go.
@@bradtraq1 I wouldn't trust Nvidia's numbers on this. There are repair shops that handle warrenty repairs as subcontractors still seeing new cards come in regularly, several a day in denser populated areas. The most common is the 1st revision to the connector as the previous version cards have all either perma diead, fallen out of warrenty, or been replaced with newer connectors. The last revision is just a few a month as it's newer and less prone to unchecked failure.
For anyone disapointed they didn't grab a 7900gre I opted for for the 7900xt (as it was only 10% more expensive at the time so better value) and I would highly recomend. (At a good price of course don't overspend given the new cards launch really soon)
Agreed, I have a PowerColor 7900 XT Hellhound and the card is a beast.
Thanks Paul for this format. Always, informative, entertaining and humorous. My go to for a quick overview on what's happening in the world of computing.

merry xmas and a happy new year
I enjoyed your tech news very much in 2024 and looking forward to such in 2025 - have a Great New Year, Paul !
I can understand why they skimp on vram for the low-mid end cards, but skimping on the 5080 is insane. You're not going to upsell people to a card twice the price just for vram.
Wanna bet ?
Yes you are. Nvidia is not stupid
If you don't upsell to the 5090 today, you'll upgrade to the 6080 in a couple years when you otherwise would have waited because you're feeling that VRAM squeeze. Either way, Nvidia upsells you.
That and linux issues with nvidia are why I'm looking forward to more info about the next gen of Radeon cards. Hopefully they bring out something compelling this time.
Let me introduce you to all the framerate queens, and the benchmark princesses that say otherwise.
Merry Christmas and holiday to you and Joe! Thanks for all your 2024's video, and I can't wait for for your CES 2025 coverage! 😊
Thanks for the spanish audio! Big potential here!
Happy Holidays! Will be looking forward to the CS coverage!
Keep up the great work Joe and Paul merry Christmas
Merry Xmas and HNY to you as well Paul - hope the great content continues.
Great episode. Especially loving your coorporate translations. Thanks for a great year of Tech news. This series is the best I have seen of it's kind on UA-cam. I bought EA WRX 24 for 12 bucks or something like that, and I do intend to play it, though I have a lot of games, that I have never played in my Steam library, like everyone else.
Merry Christmas PH, see you in the Happy New Year.
can we wait for the cards to come out first before trashing them?
Merry Christmas Paul 😊
Happy Holidays Paul!
I love how Paul properly pronounces the z in videocarz every singel time
Marry Christmas to you and yours thank you for your work and content
Merry Christmas good sir....
and to one and all.
Paul, Regarding the Steam sales, I bought Octopath Traveler II, Cobalt Core, Technotopia (because it reminded me of a board game I have), and Space Trash Scavenger. I'm currently playing the first two titles and may start Space Trash Scavenger soon. I don't know when I'll get around to Technotopia, but it's on the list.
Thanks Paul and back to you Paul.
Both the IL Microcenter stores had a handful of b580 models on launch. That's one way to ensure they sell out.
Cheers Paul, always much apopreciated.
Have a happy holidays and a happy new year Paul 🎄🎉🙏
I want to see if a TITAN CLASS 50 series GPU is coming out 🤔.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all 🎄
Merry TechNews
Merry Christmas Paul, & your Family! Merry Christmas Joe! I picked up Eldon Ring on the Steam sale for $46.00 Cdn.! Been waiting for this Game to go on Sale for Months!!!
What’s the point of a 5070 with 12g
To get you to buy a more expensive card instead. Or at least make it likely you'll upgrade next gen instead of gen after like people have been doing for a long time.
@ makes total sense your point of view . I’m leaning to amd this time . Rather pay 600 for something mid range and upgrade in couple of years
CPUs were a massive let down. I was an early adopter of the 7800X3D and nothing has looked remotely interesting for years😭
Here's hoping that the 11000 series or whatever the name it will have an impressive uplift.
Thanks for another incredible year of content 👍 Wishing you and all those around you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year (when it arrives) 🥰
happy Holidays Paul :)
