Yeah.
It's going to be crazy expensive to make. I assume the die is going to be close to the reticle limit plus GDDR7 is going to be pricey. But there are people out there will who pay for it (AI) hence why it exists.

What is clickbait? The HWUB title?
And $2499 is just grossly expensive. Look at the 4090 launch price. Come on man, $900 more - a 56% increase? Sounds like you’re making excuses for monopolist pricing power. Because if this rumor is true, their behavior is that of a monopolist.
And then 5080 at $1000 would cost historically like a 70 class: ~40% of the flagship price 🤣
Naming doesn't matter but the price moves up and the performance gap between reasonably priced and absurdly priced grows larger...
Nothing to complain about I'm sure!
The naming doesn't matter here, but Joe Schmoe consumers are definitely being mislead by the changes NVidia has made.
An x60 card used to be a good midrange product and now it's practically the bottom of the product stack.
Someone who previously bought a 1060 that was in the middle of the product stack for Pascal likely doesn't realize that a 4060 is now the lowest end desktop GPU that NVidia sells.
Sorry. I don't think Nvidia cares what people really think. They can make people change their minds about 50 series by giving them better GPUs. But they won't.Apparently nVidia believes that people think that anything below 50 is garbage.
Apparently nVidia believes that people think that anything below 50 is garbage. So the 50 product is going to be very very entry level and there won't be a 50 product unless they are very sure there that will be the lowest product (or they'd have to do some shehanagans like the 2050 laptop if they end up being wrong)
Not as challenging as you make it out to be. RX 580, RX 5700, RX 6600 cards are still selling. People will get anything they can afford. 3050 cards apparently sell well enough that Nvidia bothered to create a 6GB variant. The allure of making more money from expensive cards is the real challenge Nvidia faces. Remains to be seen if Intel will serve the low end GPU sector with B380 and B310 cards.It gets more challenging as iGPUs improve, to have a reason for 5 series card, let alone a 3 series card.

In time it will be the x60 that's thought of as garbage as it's the low-end product that previously was called an x50 or x30 when Nvidia used those designations for their lowest end cards.

You can dupe consumers a few times, but eventually they wise up to what's going on.
PC VR is dead (24H2 Windows removes WMR and I will stick to 23H2 indefinitely) and there is no point in upgrading for that, and the 4090 handles it pretty well anyway.
I guess that means I should really start looking into upgrading from Windows 10.... That said, I simply hate all the network based/cloud things and all the items that call home all the time (heck I only moved to Windows 10 this year when Steam finally dropped support for Windows 7).You'll be unsafe at the end of 2025, when you will stop getting security fixes.
Oh and not sure if anyone saw the news over on Tom's Hardware (and elsewhere), but Jensen Huang (Nvidia's CEO) is the keynote speaker at CES 2025, so there is a lot of speculation that they may be announcing the new cards at CES 2025.
And dead on arrival if it is only 12GB.... Current games already use more than that.
Videocardz says the 5070 might launch at CES too but be released much later. Confirms that it will be GB205 (so 12 GB) and 250 W (up from the 200 W of the 4070)
Oh boy. There's an entire 3 year+ thread on limitations of Nvidia's preferred VRAM quantities.And dead on arrival if it is only 12GB.... Current games already use more than that.
