I'm on a 2060 so I'm not really in the position to wait for next gen sadly. Also it's terrible value only if AMD doesn't also hit the generational uplift wall.

yes, so some people have to buy because gpu is too old or broken. Then you look at market and buy what you like. If you want > 9070xt perf for instance then there is no choice at all.
Even how amd card will be we don't really know.

l. From what I've read 3nm is going to cost a lot more so you'll get better performance but also expect pricing to go up. Until Nvidia or AMD are willing to eat into their profit margin nothing will change on either side.

From what i read, VRAM isn't expensive. This is really horrible segmentation. So you have bad product and bad value. S tier price and F tier value as someone said.
Anyway, i gave my opinion on 5070. He can look at pros and cons and decide. In his place, i would definitely wait to see what 9070xt does and that should be in his price range.

Unless you want to use only 1080p it's not going to be worth it as the VRAM is the same. Price will also be much higher which makes it worse.

Only if the VRAM is 12 gb, would the 5070 be worth even remotely considering. Honestly, a better option would be a used 3080 Ti, or 4070S.
 
I have been sitting on a brand new system without a GPU for the last 3 months waiting for the 5080 launch, and now seeing these astronomical prices and mediocre perf increase I'm thinking of getting a cheaper second hand GPU that I can use for a year or so and then maybe upgrade in 2026 or later.

I did that when 3090 came out. Was a bad idea. Eventually grabbed 3x 3090 for about $600 each. Great decision.. thought they'd go down in price but instead they're even higher now. Crazy timeline.
Buying on release for limited cards seems to be a good idea.. .book ahead of time and get what inventory becomes avail knowing it's going to be sold out considering big green NV makes waaay more on the datacenter GPUs and gaming is a distant second priority, despite gamers taking them where they are.

3090 however was in more demand mainly for the vram and even to this day they are great if you just want to run local ai. I doubt 5080 will have similar demand ... let see. I'm trying to get a FE card but no word from rptechindia so far.
 
Yeah, if by some miracle the vram wasn't locked down in bios and it was possible to double the vram and still have the card run (like those modded 22GB 2080 cards) the 5080 might be a good way to go. But yeah 3090 is the absolute sweet spot for local AI for now. Can't wait for China to fire up some competition in high vram + some TOPS. Or maybe AMD will finally get their damn act together and not miss the trillon dollar boat by making a HBME3 or other integrated memory processor with 256GB high bandwidth ram. They have absolutely everything in place tech-wise. No idea what's keeping them. They'd make a killing in datacenter as well as small/medium biz local hosting hardware needs.

Same, I hope RPtech gets word soon so we don't have to deal with retail scalpers. Getting the 5080 at MSRP would be ideal and I can forget about looking up GPU news for the next 4 years :sweatsmile:
