As someone who has had an ARC B580 since near launch and watched it get better and better, it is by default the best value GPU currently available. It's only about 1/3 as powerful as an RTX 4090, but at 1/10 the price.If things continue, it's looking like Intel could win the budget tier by default.
You've got (for now, at Micro Center):
B580 - Okay at its price
3060 12GB - More expensive and worse than the B580
9060XT 16GB - Okay at its price relative to the insanity
9070GRE - Much better than the 9060 unless you need the memory
I almost bought a 5080, but instead bought an RX 9070 XT just in case my RTX 4090 decides to bite it.
It's so weird that we are now buying backup GPUs because of how bleak things look; it feels like PC gaming as we know it is dying due to this AI bs.
To bad it seems Intel is abandoning the consumer GPU market.
With any luck, if/when this RAM mess dies down, they will return to making consumer GPUs.
Ya I'm pretty demanding of my 5090, going on two years and it could be the fastest gaming GPU on the market for another 4+ years. Don't really know how long these things will last pushing 600 watts. I do know I've aged out of gaming enough that I won't be spending $10K on replacing my 5090 if it dies. That's for sure. And at this rate, you aren't going to lose money on buying a $1,900 5080. Especially after SpaceX just bought $40 Billion worth of GPUs. Crazy times!

I'm so glad I still got my 4090 lying around as my backup, now I just ordered a Wireview Pro 2 for each of my GPUs.
I'm quickly approaching the same age. I now get more pleasure just sitting in my nice Dolby Theater style motorized loveseat in front of my 77" LG C6H and playing games on my Switch 2 or PS5. It's just more enjoyable.
They would of missed their chance at that point.
They're still making iGPUs which are on par or even better than AMD's current iGPU stack, so they are still innovating. It's not impossible for them to create dGPUs again.
Good idea. I just added one to my working fine 5090 on water and it instantly went to Alarm that pin 4 was imbalance it was pulling 9-10 amps while others where 4-5. Replugged everything a few times never went away so I swapped my spare cable in and it perfectly balanced at 7.5-8 a pin.
This cabe was less then a year old and plugged in one time on the PSU side and two times on the GPU side. In all my years of building PCs that had pcie I never had a cable go bad reusing some PSU for 3 maybe 4 cards over 5+ years.
Also glad I kept the 3090 as a spare as it's crazy it keeps up with a 5070 which seems to be Nvidia top card you can actually buy unless you drop 2k+ which is crazy
It looks like NVIDIA is pumping all the 5090 silicon into these cards. Even $18K will be cheap,

“RTX 5080 Vanishes From NVIDIA's US Marketplace Two Weeks After the RTX 5090
by DrUsmanSaleem Today, 13:46 Discuss (5 Comments)NVIDIA's US Marketplace no longer lists the GeForce RTX 5080. The GPU filter on the store's graphics card page now tops out at the RTX 5070 Ti, followed by the RTX 5070, RTX 5060 Ti, RTX 5060, and RTX 5050, with partner RTX 5080 models gone as well. The same thing happened to the RTX 5090 about two weeks ago and, barring a brief cameo at $5,599, the card still hasn't returned. NVIDIA has since denied that the RTX 5090 is discontinued, though it hasn't said anything about the RTX 5080 yet. Oddly enough, its RTX 5080 product page still says "Starting at $999."
The removal seems limited to the US for now. NVIDIA's UK Marketplace still has 13 RTX 5080 listings and two RTX 5090 cards. Of course, a missing listing could simply mean there's no stock left, since the RTX 5080 already costs close to $2,000 at US retailers, roughly double its MSRP. That leaves the RTX 5070 Ti as the fastest card on NVIDIA's US store, and it isn't cheap either. The seven listings there range from $1,269.99 to $1,499.99, well above its $749 launch price.“

"NVIDIA Reportedly Moves Up RTX 5080 24 GB Launch
by DrUsmanSaleem Today, 11:28 Discuss (12 Comments)NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5080 24 GB might arrive sooner than expected. A new post from Board Channels' ChannelGate account claims NVIDIA is speeding up the launch, with availability now expected around January 2027 and December 2026 as the earliest option. Earlier this month, various sources relayed that the card was reportedly planned for Q1 2027. The same post says NVIDIA will stop supplying the RTX 5080 16 GB and the RTX 5090 D V2 to China, leaving the 24 GB RTX 5080 as the only flagship model in that market. The report only covers China, so there's no word yet on whether the 16 GB card is going away globally. If the January window pans out, a CES 2027 reveal seems likely, though NVIDIA hasn't confirmed anything.
Apparently, NVIDIA has already cleared out its RTX 5080 16 GB GPU inventory, and the remaining stock should last around two months. That roughly matches a leaker's claim that NVIDIA has January discontinuation dates set for the 16 GB card. The post is machine-translated, so some wording may be off. Specs are still unknown, though 24 GB on the same 256-bit bus would most likely mean 3 GB GDDR7 modules instead of 2 GB ones. Board Channels previously suggested the card could cost around 19,999 yuan (nearly $3,000) in China, while the 16 GB model already sells for close to $2,000 at U.S. retailers, double its $999 MSRP. With the memory shortage expected to get worse in 2027, it's reasonable to expect the 24 GB card to be both expensive and hard to find."
Sold my 5090 for a nice profit and now have a 5080 and a 9070XT in two separate PC's with money left over. I'm set for a long while. Really don't miss that 5090 at all tbh.

how much did you get out of it
About $1,100 over the $3,500 I paid..

You'll have to pry my 5090 from my cold dead hands. There's nothing on the market or going to be on the market (for a reasonable price) in the foreseeable future that will outperform it.
Same with my 4090. I was thinking about selling it at one point and picking up an RTX 5080... not anymore. This thing is gold.

My 4090 PC (which I turned into a local Ai setup) is my backup for my 5090. I need to treat both cards better probably, but that is not very [H] of me...
That’s true but I’m at that age where having the most powerful GPU is behind me and being able to put some extra money aside for retirement is more important.
Ya especially with the 5090 having almost double the memory bandwidth and double the memory, I don't even think a 5080 could run my 25 megapixel flight simulator setup
Whoda thought owning/selling video cards would result in capital gains?About $1,100 over the $3,500 I paid..

Good way to choke off the market for Gamers and Developers. At least the 5080 is being replaced.
I’ve had four of them since release and have come out ahead on each one so yeah good investment for sure.
