yeah but you get brand power by building the goddamn chainsaw and AMD always refuses to do that.
yeah but you get brand power by building the goddamn chainsaw and AMD always refuses to do that.There is, but people don't buy it. The real problem that's harming the market is the brand power
I will probably get a 5090, it’s going to be a lot in Canada bucks though. I figure $3K. The 4090 was $2300 here at launch.
At least we won’t have to deal with tariffs like in the US, if the cards are imported directly here, rather than through the US.
Yup. Not gonna have a 4000 series card unless someone gives it away to me.Eh, you can by not buying their cards as they gain worse and worse value or price/perf every generation.
a) naiveDoubtful there will be tariffs with TSMC building plants in the USA now.
Papa Jensen said that Nvidia's GPUs are "so good that even when the competitor's chips are free, it's not cheap enough."Ironically higher prices will make it easier for AMD to stay in

Apparently he had to cope because Microsoft is having great success with MI300.He was talking bout the AI chips and not the gaming ones.
Yeah, true, still - power of Nvidia brand is huge and Blackwell will certainly have a few new shiny things to sway away a lot of people - pathetic RDNA4 effort and zero public roadmap FTW will only make it worse this time around.He was talking bout the AI chips and not the gaming ones.
NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5090 and GeForce RTX 5080 expected pricing surfaces online. Both models are rumored to cost around $2,600 and $1,370, respectively.
The other article on WCCFTech said $1500 for the 5080. Wouldn't be surprised.

Actual launch will be later, 5080 will be first, and CES presentation slides are probably only sent out at the last minute, too.Very tight control over perf leaks - a week to go and no hard info on 5090 perf?

$1199 was the launch price of the 4080, so I fully expect Nvidia to command at least a little more for the 5080.Probably an AIB card. Regardless of whatever the official MSRP is, there's going to be cards well above that.
Probably provided the OEMs with some driver that can only run a particular boring application or game to confirm that it's working.Very tight control over perf leaks - a week to go and no hard info on 5090 perf?
Still, all things considered it is vewy vewy quiet...Probably provided the OEMs with some driver that can only run a particular boring application or game to confirm that it's working.

They dont refuse because they dont want to, they refuse because they cant. 6900XT was a valiant, maximum attempt at it, a great GPU in (IMO) the best and most competitive series AMD has produced in the last 15 years. It still only tied 3090 in raster, lost badly in RT, and had similar /maybe slightly better power efficiency. All this with essentially a 3/4 node advantage (against Samsung 8). When on level playing ground, this gen, Nvidia closed the door on them in every aspect. Nvidia's tech is a full generation ahead of their best, it is what it is.yeah but you get brand power by building the goddamn chainsaw and AMD always refuses to do that.
It was as far ahead in efficiency as the RTX 4080 is to the 7900 XTX. And it did all that at 2/3rd the price.It still only tied 3090 in raster, lost badly in RT, and had similar /maybe slightly better power efficiency
They are getting some of that juicy AI money now, some of it ought to be invested into consumer graphics division rather than banked and spent on buying companies.AMD's Radeon group doesn't have an R&D budget like them
Somehow it never matters when Radeon is ahead though.
In a workload that 4 years later is still sideshow and slideshow outside of two (2) games which require it. And somehow Navi 21 still manages RT in Indiana Jones as well as the 3080 (because Nvidia skimped on memory as usual for the model that was actually reasonably priced).that is a lot worse than the alternative even if it's somewhat cheaper?

Yes they can. But it's pricey.They dont refuse because they dont want to, they refuse because they cant
Yeah they do. But you gotta justify the program costs.AMD's Radeon group doesn't have an R&D budget
The price to performance ratio has stagnated. The 5090's performance has theoretically increased by roughly 50-70% and I expect the price to be $2499, so a 56% increase over the 4090. With no competition at this tier of hardware and limited stock (because you know they'll use most of the cores for higher margin AI cards), nVidia can get away with this stagnation.Eh, you can by not buying their cards as they gain worse and worse value or price/perf every generation.
Random comment, but I've always thought that a theoretical 3080 20GB or 24GB would have been the next 1080 ti in terms of usability 5 years down the line.In a workload that 4 years later is still sideshow and slideshow outside of two (2) games which require it.
