I expect we might see the 4080 sell better once AMDs card are out in the wild. The $999 XTX won't be found anywhere after launch and the $1200 4080 will look a lot more appealing next to a $1200 XTX for those that would choose NV over AMD at same price points.I don’t see any good reason for a company to walk away from a market worth billions of dollars in revenue that they have 80% control of. I mean they’re selling every 4090 they can make and they cost $1600.
Nvidia isn’t raising prices of their graphics cards in some weird effort to make them so expensive they can exit the market. If they didn’t want to play in it, they would just leave. They’re raising the prices because gamers have demonstrated they’re willing to pay. That’s the long and short of it. That’s why they launched the 4080 at $1200. This looks like it was too high, so I expect the next launch to be lower, just like we saw from Turing to Ampere, but they have proven people will gladly pay $1600 for their halo gaming product.
I got the GIGABYTE Z690 AORUS ULTRA that’s on sale at Amazon right now for 199.99. Will need to update the bios before it will work. Was easy with the bios update plus thing. Memory I got some Gskill DDR5 6000 with 30-38-38-96 timings. From what I read it looked like around 6000 and tight timings would net you the best fps in gaming .What motherboard and memory are you running?

The 4080 should be called the 4070 and cost $550, and a “real” 4080 (with 10-15% higher specs) should cost $700 — but here we are.i feel like the 4080 should be 900-1000. at 1200 it just isnt worth the price.
The 4080 is 50% faster than the 3080 which is more than we get in most new architectures. IMO The 4080 should have been the full 103 chip though at $799 and then the 4070 could have been a cut down 103 chip at $599.The 4080 should be called the 4070 and cost $550, and a “real” 4080 (with 10-15% higher specs) should cost $700 — but here we are.

They can and do. Why make only $4 billion in one market when you can make $8 billion in two markets?They could make even more if they took those dies that were marked for gaming and send them towards the professional market. Why sell a $1000 gaming card where the same silicon could be sent towards a professional card they sell for $2,000-$10,000 is my point.
Are they? Or was that sarcasm. Just curiousGlad to see these 4080's rotting on shelves at my local MC.

OTOH it's not really an expression of anything Nvidia wasn't anticipating since the extra $200 of fat in the price seems deliberate from every angle. They're doing exactly what Jensen said they were going to do on the last earnings call, which was focus on clearing out 30-series. 4080 drops to $999 either when market demand compels it to, or 4080 Ti is ready to replace it at the $1199 pricepoint.Glad to see these 4080's rotting on shelves at my local MC.

Its still a terrible price at $999 in my opinion, but this does make sense.OTOH it's not really an expression of anything Nvidia wasn't anticipating since the extra $200 of fat in the price seems deliberate from every angle.

Then also shipping and handling and feesw/Tax a lot of those 4080's come out to $1,400 to $1,500+ LOL that's crazy. It's not just a $1199 priced card.
Okay; I thought everyone knew by now, but I guess not. So I'll just go ahead and quote our friend from another thread because it bears repeating some more I guess.They really should have released it as a $1k part. Between the 7900xtx, and the fact that a 4080ti is now either going to have to 'replace' and piss off 4080 buyers at $1200 - Or be even more expensive.. It just doesn't make sense. Nvidia is going to burn a lot of people buying these 4080's if they do either and is going to lose quite a bit of future business if they burn people like that. The plan here doesn't make much sense to me beyond just gouging people for one quarter - But that is very short sighted.
And this surprises exactly nobody, Nvidia priced this stupidly intentionally to appease the AIBs so they can sell off their 3000 series cards, anybody who would be interested in the 4080 is actively waiting for 7900xtx reviews.
I would be very interested to know how many 4080s Nvidia has actually sold to AIBs to release and what they actually charged them for it.
Announce the price high, and direct sales to the 3000s, once those are sufficiently cleared out of the retail channels drop the price on the 4080 and below to make them more attractive so they start moving again.
Really until AMD puts their cards on the market and gets them into the retail channels it's Nvidia's game.

Ok so the plan is nVidia will do a price drop in the new year? It'd have to go down to at least $999 if not what it should be selling at $899 MSRP. But by doing so you'll piss off all the people that already bought a 4080.
I don't ever recall nVidia doing a price reduction within the first few months of a new cards launch.
I could see nVidia be bullheaded and do nothing here. Release the 4070 @ $999 and then the 4060 @ $799
Then in a year the 4080 Ti FE comes out at $1399.
No one has said or heard anything about any plan. We just know why the RTX 4000 series is priced as it is. Why this is coming as a surprise to many forum members here is anyone's guess really, because it really has been said numerous times in numerous threads.Ok so the plan is nVidia will do a price drop in the new year?

Is “video card” still a favorable referral to the technology anymore or is GPU what is most trendy these days? I am concerned about ageism in the gaming industry and have wondered by when it’s no longer considered cool to be gaming based on the common opinions of Gen Z now saying 25 is the new 40. Perhaps I’ll be scaling back my enthusiasm in investing in the future of this video card hobbyI won't give them 1400$ for a 50% upgrade. I'd rather buy a used car and put it on the road and provide transportation for someone. Which is eons worth it more than a video card lol.
Its kinda funny how so many people justified a $2300 geforce 3090 and like no one can justify a $1200 4080. Paid $1500 for my 6900xt. hopefully i can be buried with it.I won't give them 1400$ for a 50% upgrade. I'd rather buy a used car and put it on the road and provide transportation for someone.

Tbf quite a few people turned to mining to offset those costs. Ain't happening this time around.Its kinda funny how so many people justified a $2300 geforce 3090 and like no one can justify a $1200 4080. Paid $1500 for my 6900xt. hopefully i can be buried with it.

I have a 6900xt, that i paid wayyyyyy to much for... but id be completely happy with a 6600xt for my gaming needs. DCS does look really nice on the 6900xt, with all settings maxed but i honestly dont game anymore. I enjoy mining crypto more then gaming, if were being honest.
