    Just look at the 3000 series. They are nearly as expensive as the 4000 series. So the launch of the 5000 won't instantly cause a drop in price for 4000. That and scalpers and inventory means that any 5000 series that launches will take 6 months minimum to get into most people's hands.

      What are you on about?? you can readily pick up a 3090 for £600-£650, that card was £1200+ before the 4000 series, and dropped soon after, the reason the lower in the stack has kept its value is demand, eg. throw a small overclock on a 3060 and you have a 4060 with 12gb vram and no frame gen and for £260, its a no brainer.

      @brudel001 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I would say YES for sure. Theres no question that the 5090 is gonna have even higher MSRP - not to mention actually higher prices because of scalperes and demand. At the moment we are in the situation where the new gen doesn't just replace the last gen with roughly the same prices but the new gen is way more expensive meaning that the last gens prices won't drop asmuch. Now if the new card costs same then you probably won't be able to get it for a long time. If its way more expensive a lot people then go for the 4090 and the ones allready having them won't sell them. The outcome is same - the demand for the 4090 raises and the price won't drop.
      Best deal would be to get second hand card from someone who is thinking of getting 5090 and selling their 4090 now for good price in fear of 5080 being faster for a 1300$ - so they are willing to selle the 4090 for like 1300 or even less. Its a far fetch but that would be the best deal.

Today is a hot day, I have been able to game all day with the CPU max temperature always below 60 DEG C, the GPU around 55 DEG C, MoBo temp about mid 50s DEG C.

    So I found someone locally selling there 4090 Card and I ended up giving them $900 cash and my RTX3090 card for it. I felt like it was a good deal. Only reason I even wanted to get the card was because, I ordered that Pimax Crystal Light headset and I wanted the best performance I could get. The 5090 card isn't a for sure thing. All Rumors. So if it is released this year. It still won't be available. Because, all the scalpers will buy em up and turn around and sell em for 2x or 3x over MSRP which will probably be overpriced already. So I figured, $900 out of pocket for a 4090 card is good. 😉👌☺️👍

    I would be interested for 2x performance over my RX6650XT, then I would still not like power draw jump. I don't expect performance per watt double.👈
    Also the reason to go for faster gpu would be probably upgrade from 1440p to 4K which I think is not really a must.👈
    Both games I play are online, one of them doesn't even have resolution settings, the other one is competitive, so going for 4K is not good idea.
    AMD Adrenaline doesn't currently offer RSR in my game, no idea what happened during drivers updates.
    👀 Anyway I am interested what next gen going to be both upcoming gpus and cpus.
    (I hope Intel brings answer to AMD R5 7500f/7600 but better value, it interested pay 2x more for 2x performance over my i3-10100f 😅
    That cpu simply frozen my interest even into AMD best value. 12400f doesn't seem that optimal 2x uplift to wow after upgrade.

    There's a better reason for keeping your old card: AI. NVidia is full on this new trend, and nobody knows where the market is going to be in a few years, starting from now. Announced CPUs are getting a NPU. Also a high amout of productivity software is now using AI routines (mind of Davinci Resolve, Premiere, Photoshop, 3D software, etc) and even games probably will benefit of a good AI processing unit. This means that we are living a paradigm change, so may be new GPUS are not about brute power, but AI oriented market, and what that brings to the gaming world. For example, as rumors say, GTA6 will make broad usage of AI routines to control NPCs in the game, and that single fact could make old cards directly unplayable, or even current gen medium range cards may be the bare minimum to run that kind of games. So with that in mind, I'll wait to see what direction software and game developers are taking for the next 1, 2 or even 3 years.

    The 8GB 4060 is not a midrange card. Anything with 8GB or less is entry level and should not be considered by anyone for more than $200 USD. I suppose if you play lightweight competitive shooters it's fine as an entry point, and will obviously run 2017 and previous games quite well, but in early-mid 2024? Entry level budget builds, in which case why not just grab a 6700XT or a used 3060 12GB for less?

    I completely disagree that the 5090 is going to be $2,500. That's just ludicrous lol. Plenty of 4090's in stock everywhere now because they're all priced at $1,800 or above. There is ceiling and they're starting to hit it over $1,800. So imo I think the 5090 will be $1,800. As for the 5080, the rumoured specs make it sounds like less of an upgrade then usual. My thinking is they've also found the ceiling with 80 series class cards. $1000 is pushing it so instead of losing margins they'll make a cheaper card that's more in line with the 4090 in raster ( hopefully they've made good improvements in ray tracing so maybe 20-30% better in RT) and will still be 256bit 16gb vram for $999. $899 would be better but i think they'll push the price as much as they can but not over $1,000

It just wouldn't go over well hiking the prices up that high, ridiculous lol. I don't know what the 5090 will end up being but for sure under $2000. $1,800 is my guess....still a price increase. As for the 5080....$900 best case scenario. Most likely $1,000. They can't push any higher than that imo

I can see it being $1,800 which is already a lot. Me personally, I draw the line at $1,000 which is what the 5080 should be at the most. Why anyone bought a 4080 at $1,200 is a mystery to me lol I'd be ashamed of myself if only got the usual 50% increase but with a 72% increase in price from previous gens.

    Personally; I would wait. I have a 7 year old PC, and had the patience not to bought a new one last year or now. A example; my card is a 1080 TI that costed me at 1200 Euro I believe. if we pick the top card now it's most like the Asus 4090, which cost 2300 Euro's here (2480 USD I believe). Why would I buy that card or even a 1200-1600 Euro 4080, if within a few months those cards will be obsolete, by the potentially insane 5090 (or 5080 if you want). Rumors go of a lower price (although I didn't expect that with saving for it), and it will cost lets say 2K. That's a difference of 300 Euro, and a 40-60 or higher increase in performance. What about the CPU ? I have a 8K or 9K series Intel. We get a 9950X, and a 8900X3D soon enough, which will be at least 25% faster as the AMD's of now, or the Core Ultra 285 as a example, which would also be around 20% then current models, for 600 Euro I think (give or take). Imagine the speed increase against my current system. I saved in the last years money, so I could buy whatever PC I want. why would I throw tons of money away on current hardware, when for around the same prices I get even more speed and power .. 25-40% faster as now, and maybe 200-300% (or more) faster as I have. if I have to wait for the X3D's and they will release in Q1 2025, I will do that. So that I can be on my way from the next 7 years. So imo; if you have the patience, like me .. wait.

It's got AI!!!!! F_____ yeah!!!!!", e) power connectors that self combust (if only users didn't connect them badly...sigh.), f) New CPU architectures offering a 20% speed increase with a 40% price hike against the current market options, g) GPU's touted as orgasmically awesome...but still incapable of running the latest games without upscaling, h) Shit bugger all VRAM allocation on GPU's so you gotta upgrade in 3 years, even if the next cycle of cards offers pissy performance increases. I) rebadging last years shit products with a +1 gen label, so you can charge more on this 'new product'.

    It will be an over priced waste of time.

    I want NVidia to lower their prices for the up coming RTX 50 Series! Not all players will buy graphics cards that will costs $700 and above! NVidia should not forget to create Graphics Cards that only costs lower than $200 but can handle mid - high graphics options at 1440p 2K. If they will price the 5090 and 5080 and will release the Ti immediately, I want NVidia to stop their hedious pricing scheme! Once they lower their graphics card price including those high-end flagship cards they will have more control of the market, more sales means more success and they will get back the trusts of their fans even non NVidia fans might side with them! An additional problem that adds to its high price from mid - flaghship cards are the SCALPERS! NVIDIA STOP THIS PRICING SCHEME THIS IS LIKE SCAMMING PEOPLE! We all know that you can lower your graphics card price BUT STOP TAKING AVANTAGE OF PEOPLE!

    I hope the 50 series keeps up the trend of odd numbered series dominating the even numbered ones. The 20xx and 40xx (except the retardedly priced 4090) cards are garbage. I went from a 1080 ti to a 3080, and probably a 5080 if they price them decently. Also on my wish list is that Nvidia doesn't force aib's to use that abhorrent 12vhpr connector, but i'm sure they will.

    I don't think AMD are going to be absent at the high end, I genuinely believe they are holding back the top of the stack, and ''leave it in the oven a little longer'', so they can see what Nvidia have with the 5090, and try and push theirs to compete to avoid a repeat of the white wash of the 4090, and I'm sure they are fed up with their top card competing with Nvidia's second in stack. To me its just a strategy from AMD to initially not release the higher end of the stack. plus if the card cannot compete with the 5090, then AMD don't have to release it and can funnel the silicon into A.I🙄😒, CPU'S and the end of the GPU stack they do ok with and try and keep Intel back with a big stick. AMD are taking it from both ends in the GPU space at the moment.

      Amd has to fix their driver/software issues first. Bro has built a channel on how to workaround everything and what to do in what order so that way it works. When it just needs to work.

      @@ripvanwinkle3432 Agreed, but they seem a lot better with their memory sensitivity, but also do struggle a little with their drivers, certainly at launch. and that is the thing, an AMD fan boy will say there's no issues, fight against any claims against ease of use, but as soon as you actually purchase it, their like right, these are all the settings you need to change to get it to work right. Intel definitely have their issues, but at very least they do a decent job, as an ''out of the box'' plug it in, enable xmp, update drivers ect. and away you go option, even at launch they usually have a working bios, and Nvidia are the same on the GPU side, next gen AMD have issues at both ends of the table, with Intel extremely competitive price to performance, now they have ironed out the drivers on their FIRST attempt at the GPU space.

      Most Nvidia fanboys will say that the drivers are perfect which is not the case but intel has the worst gpu drivers.

      @@bp-it3ve Intel's GPU Drivers were the worst at launch, but not now, and again as mentioned above it is their FIRST attempt, and Gpu shiz ain't easy lol, and nope Nvidia drivers are far from perfect, but holy crap! they get closer to it than AMD do. And I am no 'fan boy' I have Intel CPU because when I was making the decision on upgrade, both were basically on par in performance, I had used Intel more previously so ''better the devil you know'' I knew I'd be able to upgrade later to ddr5 with just Mobo and Ram, and I got a 12900ks for £200 because my mate, upgraded to 13900k at launch, so only needed a Mobo as I used my 32gb ddr4 4600 cl18, so would have been stupid at that point for me to go AMD. and GPU was a buy at a difficult time, yes I have Nvidia, but it was the best choice for me at the time, but I also have an ARC A380 in there for streaming and recording (AV1) so.... No, I'm no fan boy of anyone, I just get the best I can for the money and purpose, It just so happens that so far that hasn't been AMD, but because I'm not on my knees sucking on the big toe of AMD, then I'm a Nvidia & Intel fanboy.
