I’m sure they will be fast but I don’t think nvidia is reading the market.

Mining is dead, Used fast GPUs are plentiful and dropping in price every day.

Who is ready to drop +1K plus US after tax on a video card? I own a 3090 and that was only because I had no other options at the time.

Yeah, $1599USD for the 4090... :eek: The 4080 16GB should have been at most $999... $1199 is rather high

I'm not sure what's up with the 2 memory versions of the 4080 and 4070 though, why not use the "Ti" or "Super" branding out of the gate? The higher VRAM cards have additional SM/CUDA cores, so they're going to perform better I presume.

For EVGA to leave the market, I'm guessing these are actually "cheap" prices compared to what we'll see from AIBs then...

Kind of odd how the 4080 12GB only has a 192-bit memory bus. What year is this? Half the bus width as a 3080, yet same memory.

Isn't that the issue that affected the mid range RX 6XXX cards which caused them to underperform when not paired with a PCIe 4 slot? (although IIRC the memory bus on the AMDs was lower)

edit: Yeah.... 64-bit so it was a huge drop

I just get the feeling they think anything will sell after the mining craze and completely forget about the rout in video card prices and availability after the last crash.

The thing is mining was profitable through the last crash, not by a lot, but still made money.

This time, with good hash rate card, your are in the negative and I can’t see that changing anytime soon.

Side note, those cards are huge… 3-4 slots…?? What the hell are you thinking nvidia.

Had a big thing written, and then accidently closed my tab. 🤦‍♂️

I love the tech but hate the pricing and the blatant 4080 12gb rip off as that is obviously the 4070.

Looking at the prices:
  • 4090 $1599 (3090 release MSRP $1499)
  • 4080 $1199 (3080 release MSRP $799)
  • 4070(4080-12gb) $899 (3070 release MSRP $499)
In Canadian dollar:
  • 4090 $2136.50
  • 4080 $1602.04
  • 4070 $1201.20
I get that you get a ton of performance for the cost, but damn look at that increase across just a single generation. Look at the gen to gen pricing increases:
  • 1080 $599
  • 2080 $699
  • 3080 $799
  • 4080 $1199
Considering I already have my evga 3090 hybrid I will not be getting a 40 series card. And with evga gone I don't even know who I would get one from.

Don't forget about the dedicated 15amp circuit and the 1600w PSU. It's not just a video card anymore it's fixing drywall from the panel to your office. Lol...
