it wil be slower than the 4070 ti super
@@shyamlok bruhh you're so positive it'll be slower than 4070 Super with 8gb of VRAM. Remeber 4060 ? that thing was slower than 3060Ti while also having less VRAM than 3060.

@@DragonOfTheMortalKombat Cause AMD = Absolute mediocre dumpsterfire. Who buys radeon,
nvidia or die xd
Does anyone remember when the 10 series came out and the 1060 was just as powerful as the 980, like within 5% difference in performance or something, and we were mind-blown? I wish we'd get that nowadays but no.
The more you wait, the more you save.
I'ma get me a new gpu when I have a walker again.
Amen 🙏
Since 2017 i saved much money with my 1080ti but now its finally time to replace it.
And the more you wait, the more you don't enjoy better hardware. It isn't a win-win situation.
Honestly my only worry is power draw. If the next cards are super efficient I would be sad I upgraded
It almost looks likes GPU makers don't want to make gaming graphic cards anymore lol
*AI*
dont blame them tbh. They dont that much from gamers
They don't. They can only make so many chips so why wouldn't they want to make more that they can sell for way more than gaming cards?
Nvidia just became the world's most valuable company. Gaming GPUs are now just a comparative minor slice of their overall revenue income stream.
Thats good. It means that they cant sell this crap for this much money.
I predict horrible prices, piss poor performance improvements, ray tracing still running like ass and needing 3 layers of AI to run modern games at an ok fps
Expect the worst and cant be disapointed I see your tactics sir
I predict gamers should just turn off RT for now. Much like AI, it's like 5+ years away from prime time. At this point the huge increase in power consumption and drop in FPS just isn't worth the better lighting / reflections. But then again I feel the same way about 144 Hz displays and the like; I'd rather a cool, quiet, efficient, durable system running at a stable 60 FPS.
@@notstarboardand also lumen showed that rt is not a requirement for good lights by kicking its ass, with fps performance in the first place
@@notstarboard You had me in the first half ngl.
@@notstarboard 5 years ago people said rtx is 5 years away from then. LOL i always laugh at people making silly predictions for the future. Realistically rtx isnt anywhere near close to prime time, if we get 1 new gpu every 3 years were looking at atleast 3 generations before were at the level that rtx doesnt tank performance in a meaningful way, so atleast 9 years. Nowhere near 5.
"Low end ... below 400 dollars".
That's low-end these days? Not that long ago low-end were all cards below 200 dollars and mid-range was 200~350 dollars.

That "not long ago" is almost a decade now...

I mean, the 1000 series only finished in 2018.
During that time, the 1080Ti was like £600-700.
The equivalent 40-series is like £2000.
The 1080 was like £450, the 4080 is like £1200.
6 years is not long enough for a 200-300% markup.
Money becoming increasingly lower in value is not helping.

RTX 5070: same performance as the 4070 Ti but costs $200 more for no reason
rtx 6070 same performance but more efficient then 5070
its a called greed. Nvidia fans love it and support every time over and over. They can't control themselves and Nvidia knows it. its like crack
Don't worry, they'll introduce another new AI feature that will be artificially locked to only 5000-series cards.
DLSS 4 coming at 9,99$ per month 😂
The Thumbnail of Tim listening to the GPU like it's a conch shell is hilarious 🤣
But instead of the ocean, you hear the creaking and swishing of Jensen's jacket.
Recently, you guys asked a poll question about B-roll footage. I would like to slightly amend my answer to: the balance is fine, but if we could maybe get B-roll footage (over, say, the outro of the video) of you guys doing the photoshoots for the thumbnail images, that'd be grand.
I think the prices are getting ridiculous for gpus
I only buy them when a good deal is available..... maybe because I'm a tight arse 😂
Wait really? How did you figure that out
They are already ridiculous for years
Welcome to our planet. This has been our lives since, oh, 2020-ish.
Only "are" getting? Not already are?

@@Alwayslifted Welcome to capitalism and actual reality mate.
@@Alwayslifted Hows his statement making him 'fan'? Thats the reality and both major players in GPU industry are doing exactly the same thing.
They aren't preparing, they're already doing that.
I don't need a GPU right now but even if I did.... Not too many games really catching my eye right now.
yeah, the only reason I upgraded is cuz my PC was almost a decade old with a gtx 960 and intel 4th gen. it was still usable but I couldn't play Elden ring and the Witcher wasn't the best experience on it.
If you don't even have something to do with a GPU just don't upgrade.
Exactly this. I've had my 4090 since launch week and up to now I've only played about 8 new games total since then.
Forget hardware, I want more interesting games.
MSFS2024 for me
Yikes, these prices are still just way too high. I know everyone is in their own situation, but for me I'm out - by the time my GPU dies I'll just switch to integrated graphics and play older games. I can't justify these prices for an occasional hobby.
I wouldn't even call it an occasional hobby for me and even I agree with you. It's just not worth it anymore.
Occasional hobby and watches a video on GPUs? Not to disagree prices aren't high or anything.
@@albert2006xp It's a fair point :) but it's interesting to see what is coming down the line to us mere mortals in 5-10 years time. I've unsubscribed from all tech channels except Level1Tech, and maybe I'll look in again in 5 years or so to see if things have improved
@@peterwstacey Thats what I do. I check out stuff now so I have some guidance in 3-5 years on what to buy
I don't know what you're rocking there, but I was rather surprised that I can get mostly everything to run on my 7840U based laptop without a dGPU. Nominally that's around an RX 470/GTX 1650 GPU, but because I can adjust the VRAM aperture up to 16GB I can crank textures to the moon. And being a tad stronger than a Steam Deck I can just use that as the baseline. Most new games want a Steam Deck mode, and I expect that to be the case for some time to come.
These are very good thumbnails - “hello technology? It is me, Timothy speaking”
Their thumbnails are always so good. If I didn't know any better I would assume they have a dedicated thumbnail artist

@@karlhungus545 that;s the unfortunate part...i don't think they miss our business at all lol
@@zwieback1988 sorry my initial comment was quite unclear I reckon. I mean it's too late now to buy into this generation. I can wait another 6 months and I'll just buy a complete new PC (9800x3d, either a 5080 or AMD equivalent).
I dont know why i was so naive, but I wanted/hoped prices would settle lower and faster than they did. Current 7900xt price point (1000CAD) is the price point I wanted, but it happened so late I'm just going to sit that gen out.
@@karlhungus545 Def. They make way more money selling AI/pro cards, at that point selling gaming gpus is just a side thing that is not as profitable and a bad business decision when you think in financial terms only.

@@magnomliman8114 As are the GPU prices 😀 Over time it will get worse and worse, but you will deal with it 😎
Works only for their stocks (except when it doesn't).
I've had an RTX 4090 for almost a year and a half. It's still overpowered in most of my games. It's not Nvidia's style, but I do hope they use the 50 generation to focus on improvements with the low to mid range cards rather than a 5090 that is 50% faster (and more expensive) that an already OP card. Every card should have 16GB VRAM at minimum, even at US$299, not to mention GDDR7 with >128-bit bus and even DisplayPort 2.0.
Not to rain on your parade, but the 5060, if it ever comes out, will likely be an 8GB card for $400. It will likely perform about the same as a 4060 ti. Nobody will buy it but that's fine, Nvidia is making bank on the AI chips and the $2000 rtx 5090. The don't care!
@@devindykstrayou’re probably right, sadly
NVIDIA = most valuable company on Earth now. AMD has given up entirely on high-end cards. Combine that with limited wafer availability and you have a recipe for disaster. I can almost guarantee you that all the cards below the 5090 will be incredibly underwhelming, with little to no perf/dollar increases. Expect a repeat of the 40-series where all cards except the top card are crap and overpriced. NVIDIA has everything they need now with the AI boom, they're not going to waste precious silicon on making good gaming GPU's unless you are one of the few who spends big on the 5090. Those wafers are better spent selling huge AI chips to big corporations, it's much more profitable.
Thanks Tim, back to you Steve
Very nice and comprehnsive update/report!!! Thank you😁

$250 for Entry Level - what year was this video made?
That's about right. Cheapest RDNA 3 is 7600 at $260. Cheapest 40 series is 4060 at $300.
6600 is also still valid
Its true. Unless you want to count a 3050 which nobody should be buying, that shit needs to be sub 100 for it to be worth it lol
If you want the absolute lowest it's the Rx 6600 at $200 but that card is getting long in the tooth for new games
this is entry level. 250$ today was 190$ just 8 years ago in 2016. And around 206$ in 2020. Inflation is a b_tc h man
didn't wanna wait anymore and got 12.5% off on a 4080 super proart which was already one of the cheaper models out of all the 4080s for some reason... with the AI BS going on I am not expecting 5080's to deliver much better price/performance vs. current ones... and I didn't want to wait that long either... upgrading from a 3060 ti which is already struggling to keep up with my needs, so it will be nice improvement... I don't live the price but whatever doesn't seem to get any better
I love the thumbnail of you holding a GPU up to your ear lol.
Its crazy that "entry level" price is $250, it used to be around $100 to $150 ish
I think at some point you have to accept that inflation is a thing. However using inflation as an excuse for the 4060 ti, 4070 and 4080 pricing, that's just silly.
@@ofon2000 It's not inflation, it's margins. They've been wanting to kill off the low-end for a few years now and focus solely on the lucrative halo products which make them the most money (even if some the $15-$30 entry level graphics cards they might produce would still be priced in the

Honestly I'm going to change my 1080 Ti with an RDNA 4 GPU to replay my favorite games in very good conditions, but it's probably going to be my last real desktop upgrade. After that I'm dropping the enthusiast market, at least for gaming.
You have a 1080ti but you're dropping the enthusiast market? that makes no sense, that's like an 8 year old card, an enthusiast would have a 3090 or 4090.
@siphi7583 It's obvious, he was an enthusiast purchaser but not anymore. Everything's sucked lately. I got a 4070ti and it cost almost 1.5x the price of my 1080 in Canada. The 4080 was absurdly priced back then and its barely gotten any better

@@lunawense6288 Thank you.
@@lunawense6288 Yeah, I mean you're pretty much saying what I did, they already dropped the enthusiast market like 5 or 6 years ago, an enthusiast would buy a top tier card every gen and 1080ti is like 7 or 8 years old, that's like a 3 gen skip.
This is exactly the video I needed, thank you!
Thanks for the video Tim, too bad that the prices haven't dropped as much as expected. I know that you guys are really not very fond of the Intel GPUs, but any news on the Battlemage lineup/price/launch date?
The prices will be stupid high we all know they will be
A few weeks ago I sold my 1.5 years old rtx4090 (basically for MSRP price) and bought rx6800xt for $350 to use untill the release of 5000 series of cards. But now I'm questioning if I even need a top tier GPU, all games I play run just fine on rx6800xt. Maybe I'll just skip that generation altogether
Unless you're running RT (which to be honest here, just a handful of games look that amazing with it) it's all you need. beside, running bang for the buck build gives some satisfaction too. Wise step imo
If the 5080 doesn't dethrone the 4090 and launches at $1200 then the 4090 price should hold on the second hand market although probably between current prices and 5080 price ( below the price you got for it) . I learned my lesson with crypto mining boom not to sell until replacement card in possession. With Ch!na eyeing Taiwan I'll hold on to my 4090 till I get a replacement card.
This is the crux.
4090 performance is very nice, but is there a game that a 4080 can't play?
4080 is nice, but is there any game a 4070ti can't play?
Ok, I might not play in max settings 4K, but cranking settings down by like 10% and saving myself a casual £1000 is just a no-brainer.

@@user-ds8rj2vc4v 4k is just an absurd waste of money. 1440p or even 1440p ultrawide high refresh will 100% of the time provide a better gaming experience than 4k. I fell into the 4k trap with the 1080ti and spent the last 7 years regretting it. Unless you have a larger than 34" monitor there is basically zero visual difference between 1440p and 4k, for that you get way lower fps, increased power draw, more expensive cards that don't last as long etc. A 7900xtx at 1440p is pushing way over 100 fps in even the most demanding games at 1440p, a 4090 will not be able to hold 60 fps at 4k long before an xtx can't hold 60 fps at 1440p, and I get the benefit of 165hz native resolution in many other games. Oh, and RT is dumb and will remain dumb for at least another generation, if not 2, but even if you like RT 1440p monitors are still superior there too.
Great perspective, thank you
Planning on building my first pc around november when there are deals. My current pre built i have has a 1660 ti and im thinking of getting the 7900 xtx. that should be a good upgrade yeah? I dont have to wait until next year to get a better graphics card?

Mate that is nothing to sniff at. Easy to cool, easy to get pretty cheap memory with, it'll be a really sensible build and has a pretty good medium term upgrade path.
If you are near a MicroCenter, they do have bundles that include a GPU. Their current AMD 4-piece bundle is 7800X3D, decent ASUS mainboard, 32GB G.Skill 6000 RAM, and AMD reference 7900XT, for $210 off the regular price.

Thank you for your comprehensive analysis, Tim. You and (my *new* favorite) Steve do very good work. 🏆 (I appreciate both your professionalism *and* your straightforward delivery. 👍🏼)
I have no intention of purchasing another GPU from NVIDIA (I currently own both a 1080 and a 3060 ti, both in fine working condition), and am looking forward to seeing Intel's Xe2 lineup drop later this year or early next (I also own an ARC A770, which is going into my next build).
In the meantime, I'm awaiting the Summertime sales (Prime Day, etc) in the hope of procuring a bargain on an RX 7800 or 7900 GRE (for another upcoming build), and then I should be set for at least the next two calendar years as far as GPUs go.
Thanks again. 🙏🏼
my concern with a 5090 or 5080 is the 12 pin connect socket and the melting issue as the current leaks suggest more power is going to go through that weak link.
Will it work or become slag?
btw I have no intent to buy as I have a 4080 super which max outs fps on a 165mhz 1440p monitor, a faster card isn't going to be better fps is it?
"a faster card isn't going to be better fps is it?" are you serious? yea a 4090 for an ex will give you notably more fps but if i were you id upgrade my monitor to at 1440 oled 240hz oled panel at least
@@iDeparture but if your monitor is capped at 165mhz, how can a 4090 give you 200fps? It can't as its breaks the laws of physics. I'd have to buy a higher mhz monitor or a 4k monitor to see an improvement the 4090 has to offer.
I like my monitor it has true black and HDR 600
@@tommyrotton9468 oh i thought you mean just an increase in performance. and lcd monitors (ips, va and tn panels) dont have true blacks because they use backlight strobing and dont have true hdr because True HDR requires a 10-bit or higher color depth, at least 1,000 nits to accurately display the increased contrast and color gamut and local dimming tho some can come close but trust me get an oled and you will not regret it
@@tommyrotton9468 the point is that you get a better experience with a faster card bc you cant just look at average FPS, you have to look at 1% lows and even 0.1% lows. So lets say your 4080 maxes out your 165hz screen, it does that in the AVERAGES. It will have framedrops, the 1% lows can be like 70FPS for example , and the 0.1% can be like 30 FPS. Thats game dependent but the 1% and 0.1% lows are basically always lower than the average. At least if you dont play Tetris with a 4090 and lock it to 30 FPS. In that case there wouldnt be a single framedrop below the 30FPS, obviously.
But in more intensive games, theres almost always room for improvement in the 1% and 0.1% lows. And those lows tell you how consistent your gaming experience is, basically how many hiccups/stutters. The closer the lows are to your average, the smoother is your experience. So yes, it will make a difference, the 4090 will have more frames at the the 165FPS monitor limit, less frame drops below that. The 4080 will have worse 1% and 0.1% lows aka a less consistent experience.
also in new intensive games, especially UE5 games, you will use DLSS upscaling even with a 4090 to get to 165FPs in 1440p. Especially if you want to play maxed out, if available very high RT. And if we talk about PT (path tracing), you wont get close to 165FPs, not even with a 4090. So Theres always headroom. And as said theres always room for getting higher 1% and 0.1% lows with a faster card.
@@tommyrotton9468 I plan to buy a 5090 (I def will buy one) and I will pair it with a 240hz 4k OLED. Even if the 5090 is like 40-60% faster than a 4090 (which it will be), I dont expect to come close to 240hz in the intensive 4k games. I will in some games, but I absolutely know that I wont be able to max it out in really intensive games (that currently exist), before I upgrade to like a 7090. But only, if the newest games by that point arent even more intensive than the current ones lmao. And then Im sure that I could increase the 1% and 0.1% lows even further by using an even faster card with the same monitor.
So theres always room for improvement. And if its not for current games, it will be for future games. Bc one thing is for sure - upcoming ultra high fidelity AAA games wont get easier to run.

Try at 4:18 🤣
RTX 4090 went from $500 to $490
Did you use AI to make your graphs? 😂
Its amazing that I got in at last black friday sales and the prices are the same if not slightly higher. I can't remember what I got my 7900xtx at but I think it was just under 900 for black Friday?
If the 5080 is similar in performance to the 4090 and only a little cheaper, that might not be worth waiting for. The 5090 looks to be the only new card with a big leap in performance, but that's probably going to cost an obscene amount. Thumbs up for great videos.
And what we keep on showing _ every _ time _ is that they can get away with it. If so, then why change? Start to understand that and then you're getting the change we should see.
@@TheTekknician ppl are weakwilled.
People keep buying it. It is the people that hold the power, the sheep are just too stupid to realize that if they hold out playing their perfectly capable cards and force almost no sales of Ngreedias new cards, they will be forced to drop prices drastically to please their masters on the board
It's not. The 5080 will be about 10% stronger than a 4080.
For me the problem is the lack in increase in performance for the same price. A $250 - $350 card is the same performance tier as 3 gens ago. All that's changed is the extra's like DLSS, RT at the low end really doesn't matter as you don't have the FPS to spare for that.
Just told my friend to buy a new Sapphire Nitro+ 7800xt for $500, his old 1060 need this upgrade now.
Best looking card ever made imo
solid upgrade
Looking to have a duel pc streaming setup this year. My plan was to get AMD high end GPU for the gaming pc but just found out they aren’t going that route. Should I buy the current RDNA 7900 xtx or should I wait it out and get the new mid range gpu from AMD. Mind you it’s gonna be one pc for gaming and one of for streaming! Not sure if I need the high end but I also don’t want to be needing an upgrade within the next 5 years
Been on a RX 6900 XT for some time now, currently playing Ghost of Tsushima at highest settings on a 1440p screen and getting 130fps. I think I am good for now, but the 7900 xtx is still tempting me.
Really it should be 1 enthusiast 2 high end 3 midrange 4 budget since prices are so absurd these days
It appears that Nivida has a tick tock pattern:
2000 series almost no improvement for price "But we have Ray tracing"
3000 series improvement for price
4000 series no improvement for price "But we have frame generation "
So unless they have some super "innovative" improvement, I would e pect some price to performance improvement
It does follow that pattern, but I think it's actually about implementing new technology in one generation and then maxing out in the next generation.
30 and 40 gen are very comparable overall, but 40 series are more efficient and so have a smaller form factor.
Let´s return to GTX 1080 Ti then
Same as the last decade, 600 series then 700 series no progress other than on the high end, then 900 gen to bring people up to speed and i expect the 5070/5070 ti will be something like the 970 in terms of value and you know the rest, except we won't get this decade's 1080 ti, they won't make that mistake again.
Biggest improvement for 2000 series was DLSS, hugh upgrade over the 1000 series witch are useless nowadays..
@@groenevinger3893 My 2080 can play Cyberpunk @ 4K with DLSS on medium settings w/o ray tracing and get 45-60 fps... it truly is a great technology. Otherwise its unplayable. 4070 Ti 16GB is what I'm eyeing as an upgrade.
Nice video 👍🏼 Hope next gen will bring a nice value boost in the
Should I upgrade my Intel 13900K iGPU or wait for the RTX 5070?
For most of us with high end 30 series or mid to high 40, there should be no need to upgrade for a few years. The games on PC coming out should be fine with our current builds.
True, but also for some (most?) people: fomo + bragging rights + enthusiast builds, so the 5090 will still sell at whatever ridiculous price they set it to
I'd argue a mid range 30 series is just fine as well. even a 3060 can work perfectly fine since the AAA games are kinda trash lately. Elden Ring ghost of Tsushima etc. etc. run perfectly well on that.
@@stevanko1
Yep - that's what drives the market.
@@ghosthunter0950
To a degree - but we can see how the hardware is starting to struggle, especially when pushing UE5 features, for everything else though, I think a 3060 is ok.
new prices are here forever. nvidia's monopoly dictates the market and consumers don't have enough (will)power to resist it.
That monopoly happen because no one really interested in a market that have expensive venture with little return. Else we already see ARM, Imagination and Qualcomm discrete gpu on store shelves right now.
@@arenzricodexd4409 i think there is huge logic fault in your statement. if it is an expensive venture with little return then why nvidia is the most valuable company in the world? and those discrete gpus are here in the room with us? wishful thinking at best.
@@mc_sim nvidia exist for almost 30 years now. Back in the 90s there were dozens of company competing for grahpic accelerator. Where are they now? Why they did not become another trillion company like nvidia? Because gaming hardware market did not really bring in big money. Nvidia become the 3 trillion company because of AI not gaming.
@@arenzricodexd4409 partially i agree with you but still you can't say that this market isn't profitable - intel tried a few times entering this market and definitely not for the purpose of losing money. and their failure also doesn't mean it's not profitable.
We aren't Nvidia's customers. If another gamer NEVER bought an NVIDIA GPU they wouldn't even care. AI is going to carry that company untill everyone realizes it's a stupid bubble that bursts in 5-10 years.
If they start pulling out the ti series again for the 90 series i will be mad i hope we just get full rumoured specs up front not really looking to wait another year for that
Note that wanting to upgrade your GPU is not only for "running latest games". Some people want to move to a higher resolution, higher settings, or newer features (DLSS and raytracing if they can't do it now). Also, if you're comfortable with buying/selling used -- don't wait. Buy now and then sell in 9 months or whenever you can upgrade again. There seems to always be new tech around the corner. Life is short, enjoy the now!
The more you wait the more you get.
Bought a 7900XT for 690€ 7 months ago, last week i traded it in + 75€ + old GTX 1070 for RTX 4080, im happy now
4080 super?
@@hotdog9262 no, non Super, but it actually doesnt matter, its 99% the same card
Love the thumbnail for this vid
I am curious about rdna4 pricing for midrange. Also i am curious about rtx performance and features for that. Second iteration of arc is interesting too
the leaks are saying the raytracing performance should be significant upgrade over RX 6000/7000 but I'll belive it when I see it. Also the same GPU architecture could power the PS5 Pro.
I'm totally waiting for release review, even cause sometimes things changed and performance tanks even if the predictions seemed real
GUYS STOP THE CONSUMERISM!!
5800X3D + 7800XT don't have any intentions of upgrading anytime soon.
Peasant build. 😏

You just being cheap at this moment. You can't even max out games at 4K240 with RT Ultra Pathtracing. Go grab that RTX5090 SUPER ti Ultra Boost 69GB GDDR9+ RIGHT NOW.
On serious note, you are not really the audience that is expected to buy new GPU, you have recent high tier GPU. Those who would be interested are those with old or budget systems like RX6700XT, RTX2060, GTX1080, etc.
Tim where's that G80SD review? I need it like crack
Don’t. Buy. Now.
Ok, Dad.
Why not buying now ?! Amd wont launch anything this year neither intel or nvidia only rtx 5090 will launch so if you have a pc even if it have 1050 ti stay on it and wait but you will wait until next year so keep that in mind but you dont have go and buy waiting will be a disaster you will to wait until next summer for discounts and new gpus i learned the hard way with last 2 gens
At least if u are going to spend 1600€, dont buy now
4080 super fell to as low as $949. Hopefully foreshadowing more price cuts across the board. The 4090 has been seen at $1519 recently as well.
Yeah, get used 3070 or 6800 at $300 or less for new build. Upgrade later
Yeah, after the complete no-show for next gen 50 series or RDNA 4 at Computex, I took advantage of AMD's current promo, getting an XFX Speedster Qick 319 7800 XT for $669+Tax CAD. Sold my 3070 Ti for $350 to a kid that could barely grow facial hair. I think we both came out ahead here.
Nvidia never show their next gen series a few months ahead of actual launch. The last time they do that was with GTX480. but that's because fermi already late by almost half a year at that point.
I game at 1440p no RT and currently have a RTX 3070, is it worth upgrading to a 7800 xt or 6950 xt? Both are hovering around $500 with the 6950 xt being $50-60 more?
Idk why, but even though I don't really need it, I wanted the 7900gre since it came out lol. I'm still gonna wait to see what they come up with for the next gen.
4090s under MSRP let’s go
the only reason why i would want to upgrade to a 5090 is because i am planning to get one of these new 4k 240hz oled monitors and while there is no new game i plan to play maxed out, a 5090 sure as hell comes in handy utilizing that monitor while playing my current games.
Still running my ancient 750ti in 2024 this year this card served me for 10+ year
The 4080 and the super were the same price here, the "discount" never happened.
ubislops are not the games you should be upgrading for
I would be ok if the newer gpus offer a lot better performance at ray/path tracing but not that good of an improvement at rasterization and priced the same. Wouldn't be interesting and pricing would still be shitty but they got me messed up already that I would be ok
I'm buying Rx 6800/Ryzen 5 7500f in 3 months I'm I gonna get a better deals in terms of cpu and GPU in the future when Ryzen 9000 series drop and Rx 8000 series drop?
Still rocking a 9900ks with a 3080ti and 32gb of ddr4 3200....Does everything I need it to do on a 1440p widescreen.
What do you mean "still". This is a great setup by today's standard. By contrast I am "still" rocking a vega56 with ryzen 2600. The value of new cards has been terrible since then.
3080 with 5800x3d and 32 gb of DDR4. I play everything at 4k ultra settings above or around 60fps, and I'm content.
I only see the need to make small incremental upgrades for the foreseeable future.
That is only a bad card for 4k gameplay max settings for new games. 4k max settings just start to demolish these 3000 series rtx cards. But for 4k I would also recommend a good 4k monitor in first place.

Hey I know, you might not see this, but can you do a review at Colorful CVN B650m Gaming Frozen motherboard? Thanks:)
My 4080 will have to do for a while
Dont worry, the entire 5 series will be about 5-10% stronger than the 4 series with the same amount of VRAM except on the 5090

Oh the horror :(
@@chy.0190 pure nightmare
@@HelloImCrimsonUnless it will be like from 20 gen to 30 gen. GDDR7 will also be used most likely but I don’t know how much it will benefit.
The only next-gen "GPU" worth considering to look into is in the Handheld gaming PC and the Mini pc market with AMD's newest Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 or the AI 9 365. (depending on which company wants to put into those devices of course and depending on price thats why I say look into not buy.) because GPD is claiming that the HX370 is to have really good results when it comes to gaming, based on the timespy being 4,221 at 54W which would make the 890M being faster than the 780M by 36%. comparing to be better than the 2050 Nvidia Laptop GPU but not better than the 3050 Laptop GPU. So For handheld gamers/mini pc gamers, this will be an exciting line of upcoming integrated graphics GPU's to look into, if true.a
Actually this is rather amazing to think about igpu coming in close to the performance of the lowest of the low end gpus, even if it's from 2 generations ago. Like I think you can squeeze over 60fps in most games at 1080p mid to high settings and fsr or dlss if applicable.
My guess is TSMC fab time is going to determine what they prioritize and how they will view gaming as an opportunity cost (to your point) vs AI and datacenter silicon. Even Intel is getting their new cloud-centric 144 core CPU made at TSMC on their cutting edge node. I would bet that designers like Intel/AMD/Nvidia are competing hard for fab capacity.
Is the 5090 going to be 512 bit bus width, or are they saving that for a potential 5090ti?
I’ve saw that it might only be 448 bit 28gb
I refuse to ever spend more than $400 on a gpu and $200 on a cpu
same but $150 for gpu and $75 for cpu 👍
I spent $1300 ish on i5 8400 1080ti build and never regret. Sold the PC to get a laptop with better performance.
Most I spent on a gpu was nearly $500 and over $350 on a cpu. But these days I will never do that again for a cpu as I'll stick to $200 range and try between $300-400 for a gpu so I agree with this.
don't buy now wait until the new ones come out, then when the new ones come out, wait even longer because the prices will drop, then continue to wait until the new ones are about to come out
IMO if it's less than a year until new generation and you don't desperately need a new GPU, you should wait. You shouldn't wait for price drops though and you probably shouldn't wait more than a year.
That's what they mean when they talk about achieving an equilibrium of the mind.
Someone please enlighten me with when the Ryzen 9000 series will be launched. Thanks
Waiting for a 5080 to replace my 2080ti, good time for an upgrade as I’m waiting to play cyberpunk and Alen wake 2. Plus the finals is a little much for my current rig to handle at high frame rates.
11:48 Then it's going to be another skip generation. I can't wait to skip it! 👌 *They can shove their 192-bits.* 😘 256-bits on the 70-class or gtfo. ALL 70-class cards in the last DECADE came with 256-bit, since the GTX 670. Nvidia really screwed the pooch with the 40-series.

>I WONDER WHY
because they diverted the vast majority of their resources to AI which helped them become the most valuable company in the world
@@darudesandstorm7002 That's because everyone and their grandma thinks they can make money from AI. And other company shareholders demand AI slapped on everything because they think it will generate more money for them.

It will be the same as with crypto shit. Nvidia will milk them for everything, then move on to the next best thing.
I'm kind of sick of hearing "AI'.
AI mice, AI hats, AI monitors, AI apps, AI, thermal paste, AI chewing gum. ENOUGH already! Jesus!

@@elgonzo7239 There were numerous articles last year when the 40-series came out saying that this generation had the lowest sales in over 20 years. Because all of the GPUs (except for maybe the 4090) were shifted by 1-2 tiers:

- the "4060 Ti" is really a 4050.
- the "4060" is really a 4030 Ti.
