NVIDIA Ada Lovelace Successor Set for 2025

Crypto was just one factor. Up until Ampere, the MSRPs were going up anyway. Ada is the first generation to curb that. Sure, the 4070Ti's MSRP is still higher than the 3070Ti's was and 4080+ are in "unobtainium" territory. But for the mid-range, it's still the first time I see a move in the right direction in years.

So, 4080 isn't it, 4070 isn't it, we don't have the reviews of RTX 4060, so you're basing this on a single card, RTX 4060 Ti - that still has the worse price / performance than RTX 3060 Ti - it beats it by only 12%, while being 25% more expensive?

That's the right direction?

:p
 
I'm dying to try RTX and even DLSS first hand. I might recommend myself a 4060Ti, but I'm still really torn about it.
RT works on AMD, too. Instead of DLSS, you could just use FSR. The latest iterations aren't really different, anyway. Nvidia wants you to think it's worth the extra money by fancy slogans like "ecosystem" (which is used wrongly here), but AMD cards are pretty equal at this point. Sure, there are a few DLSS only games out there, but so what? Upscaling is just an aid anyway, you're not meant to run it when your native framerate is high enough. I, for example, just lock my framerate to 60, and never even think that FSR or DLSS exist.

Sure, i mean inflation is way down, but prices didn't come down, it won't unless you get deflation.
Saying MSRP's went down after crypto and shortage is a bit misleading, because they were so artificially high.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but definitely missing important context.

Yes, that is the right direction. After the initial launches (4080 and 4090), Nvidia could have gone on and release the 4070 at $900 and 4060 at $600-700. The fact they stopped their initial madness and released the SKUs at the prices they did give me hope they may be on a new trend.

The only way they're ever gonna be on a "new trend" is if people stop buying into their "ecosystem" bullshit and realise that Tensor cores aren't worth the extra money on a consumer level.

Well, I haven't bought into anything since I got my 1060 like a bazillion years ago. Hasn't worked too well...

DLSS and especially DLSS3 seems amazing, but FSR is great too, and RT is just a gimmick that seems to go nowhere, few games, bad implementation. I have to agree, the tensor cores aren't worth the extra money for sure.
 
What a... Wait for moment. A 3 year between generations? This is pathetic. I remember times when see new generations every year. Not so long ago. :(

And I remember when new GPUs came out every 6 to 8 months. 2yrs roughly now so don't see an issue with a 3yr gap between generations considering how expensive and complex that they've gotten.

Actually it's more like 5 years gap if you own a 3060 or 3060ti. :D

Yeah I just said it here and I was right it seems. :D
 
So when do GPUs finally get mountable SSDs?

I've always said, I don't know who I feel worse for:

AMD for being behind Nvidia in RT.
OR
Nvidia for having dedicated cores for RT and they still suck at it.
 
cant wait for 5070 ti with 8gb ram
 
things are also getting very weird with pre reviews that only let reviewers test one game and a set of predefined settings, Nvidia is definitely not comfortable with their products, this could mean those timelines could be changed in the future.

Jayztwocents got called out by HWU and TYC for this.

Things aren't getting weird, they've always been like that. No matter what, there is at least a small portion of users that must buy on day 1, with little-to-no knowledge about the product. Corporate marketing must cater to them, too.

that's actually no correct at all, but don't take my word on it. Take Steve's about 6 minutes in

 
They both have RT cores and they both suck.
If I could ask Mr. Huang one question, I would ask him: if you knew GPUs are only going to get bigger and bigger and at the same time you knew current hardware can't push RTRT too far, why did you pick the moment you picked to bring RTRT into consumer space?
 
Talking about the 4060, W1zz's reviews came for many of them. And I can't stop laughing at how bad of a joke they are.
 
it's a bit insane the 4060 can't beat a 3060ti, hell sometimes it can't even beat the 3060. Embarrassing.
