Whelp, I hope that some of this is not true but I had a feeling the new top in 'gamer' card was gonna be around the $1500 mark. Looks like they are going beyond that. I will have to see reviews to figure out which one I am getting this round as I am a little skeptical of spending that much for the top end unless it seriously makes a huge performance difference. $1200 was already a bit of a swallow especially because I intend to rebuild my rigs cooling this round with the new card (Water block cost etc lol).

I think everyone needs to remember that Jensen never really commits to a price until shortly before he goes on stage. That's always the last thing that he holds to his chest and doesn't communicate.

I'm sure all these prices are placeholder prices.

I'll buy that for a dollar o_O

But If this rumor is true, then this is me right now:


I had hoped for rtx 2080 ti prices that launched from 999 usd, but if RTX 3090 really are the card to take over from 2080 TI and launched for 2000 usd, my dream of ending 2020 with a big bang of a new pc is crushed or at least downgraded to a RTX 3080 none TI.

But then again. 24 GB vram is Titan territory and other rumors has spoken of a 20 gb vram card and leaks seems to confirm rtx 3080 will have 10 gb vram. So there might be a rtx 3080 ti with 20 gb vram. To settle to hole between 3090 and 3080.

Also one time ngreedia all ways ngreedia. Let's hope AMD RDNA2 can do to nvidia what zen 2 dit to Intel. Preventing stupidly high prices.

Look at the upside! Your water cooling will relatively be a lot less expensive than last gen :D

Same story as Radeon VII really, or Vega early days. New

What if I told you 2080Ti has sold more than the 400$ 5700XT...

The low yield makes sense, as that would also explain the high RMA rate of 2080 Tis. Because they didn't have enough to sell, they were letting partially tested chips onto the market to lock consumers in and let customer service deal with it. These consumers were diehard fans -- they would go through multiple RMA's just to get a working one too.

And entire Navi lineup was partially tested chips since Navi has higher RMA. But it was denied by diehard fans.

About price, AMD selling CPU for $4000 so if you are better than competitor you can ask more for luxury stuff.

I'm just waiting for a sneaky hike in online retail taxes to crush most people's dreams. Regardless of the cards RRP.

Lower than that of 2080 Ti.

AMD is selling at $4000 a chip that is killing the competitor's $10000 model. If AMD was selling that chip at $14000, then yes, you would have been right. But here your example is completely wrong.

Joking aside, there was an uproar with the prices of last gen cards. I didn't buy into the hype, instead kept any eye on performance..........And purchased a 1080 ti instead ;)

I meant 3990X.

Anyway if 3090 is $2000 let's say RDNA2 will be $1200 and everyone will say how cheat it is though $1200 for 2080 Ti is too expensive?

Just stop supporting them and stop buying that shit. Its not nvidias fault that they can raise prizes more and more, they are a company, making money is what they do.
Its up to you to show that you wont pay these ridiculus prizes!

It's probably more because of the ARM thing, I doubt most investors care or that they waste their time looking at leaks about how they're gonna have 2000$ video cards.

Joking aside, NGreedia is a market maker and such pricing if true is a death sentence for PC gaming, especially if lower tier GPUs follow the top tier rise. Ordinary people will just buy a XBoX/PS5 or ticket for Stadia-like streaming service and call it a day. You can build solid 6C/12T/16gb/480GB SSD APU PC for work inside 500$ budget and get XBoX X/PS5 for 400-500 bucks. Half the price Jensen wants for his top tier card. 700$ is my upper limit for what I'm willing to pay for GPU and I expect it to be at least 50% faster than the consoles. If not, Ampere will be one more generation to skip.
