    They didn’t even mention pricing and the 5080 is faster and less power hungry then the 4090? How is that a “massive ripoff”?

      It is totally nuts that they are charging the cost of a full computer for the price of one of their 80 series graphics cards. These cards should be in the $500 to $600. They have just continued the covid price rape. It is not acceptable.

        So … You have no source, just a feeling that because the 4000 series was really expensive the 5000 series is also going to be really expensive.

          I think, even without a source, that’s it’s pretty much a given that each generation of cards is going to be about the same price as the last, possibly adding in some more for inflation.

          Also, the xx80s and xx90s were always for gamers with insane expectations. The xx60s and xx70s are much more reasonable and are still amazing. Anyone complaining about the prices of the top end cards should just re-evaluate what they need instead of grumbling about prices.

            My frustration is they said “it’s going to be a massive ripoff” in response to an article that says absolutely nothing about price with 0 context to where they got pricing information.

      Because nvidia has been jacking up prices just because. 40xx series is still like $2000, these are gonna be like $2200

      Nvidias stock went nuts because they are overcharging for all of this shit because “AI” companies are scrambling for more horse power to generate boring slop and nvidia is ready to tear their wallets new assholes.
