Nvidia RTX 4000 Launch
Discussion
So we are creeping towards the next release rumour is Q3 ?
With my 5900X upgrade from 3700X I would be interested in moving up to a 4080 ( or whatever it's called ) and a 4k monitor to replace my current 1440p 27' and 2070 Super.
Of course the question is would I be able to get one at retail and If I was lucky enough to achieve that probably almost impossible feat would it cost an arm and a leg ?
Now Nvidia has seen that people are prepared to pay will they bump the RRP up for the next gen ? I thought the price of the founders 3080 was excellent and would have paid it if I could have found one.
If that's the case then it looks like my current system my have to last me as long as my 2500k and 970 combo !

It depends how good it is.
If the 4070 is like a 4080, then that's still good value, as it'd be similar to the 3080 initial RRP, which is well beyond the 2080Ti which was even higher RRP.
On balance I'm comfortable with these fairly high prices for very fast GPUs.
It's the lower end stuff that is silly.

Agreed 4070 with 3080 performance at 3080 founders rrp would be a go for me.If the 4070 is like a 4080, then that's still good value, as it'd be similar to the 4080 initial RRP, which is well beyond the 2080Ti which was even higher RRP.

PCIe4x16 bandwidth is enormous.
I’m assuming the very top end 5000 generation might need it at a push?
Listening to the guys over at Hardware Unboxed they think their maybe a pretty large price hike for 4080 and above. Talking $1000 +I’m assuming the very top end 5000 generation might need it at a push?
Like you said earlier If I can pick up a 4070 for 700 quid with 3080 performance or better I will be happy.
Edited to say WTF am I talking about no way the Mrs will let me spend that anyway
To be fair 3070 is 4k @ 60hz capable with DLSS and the price is a good chunk under the 3080.
I think it’ll all work out ‘ok’ all considered.
I remember years back people all buying Titans for about £1,000 or £1,200, seemingly just because the could or had money to burn etc.
The reality is games and game devs target much lower specs, and top end “features” are ultimately just fps these days, or resolution, which arguably with DLSS/anti aliasing techs is increasingly hard to justify too.
Plus, these huge power requirements, the electricity bill is going to start taking a hit on finances if you’re running 4k at 144hz just because you can!

My system + a 450w GPU comes in at 669W. I run an 850w PSU.

A decent performance gain for a change then.Gassing Station | Computers, Gadgets & Stuff | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
