Better dial back expectations. Rumors--and of course, we know to be skeptical--suggest the 5070 Ti could be 300W.I'd consider whatever card comes in under 200 watts.
Oh, they're dialed back alright. I have a feeling there won't be much compelling to upgrade this cycle either.Better dial back expectations. Rumors--and of course, we know to be skeptical--suggest the 5070 Ti could be 300W.
At an MSRP of $1999.99 I’m not terribly sure they are something most scalpers will want to focus on.I'll be surprised if I see these in Stock all next year between the scalpers bots and people who actually want one <---------
Yeah. I bought a 4070 a few months ago. Moderate raster improvement over my 6800, huge RT improvment, didn't burn a lot of power. I'll probably skip the next generation now.Oh, they're dialed back alright. I have a feeling there won't be much compelling to upgrade this cycle either.
The taxes on $2000 and also s&h (insurance) might push the out the door price north of $2500At an MSRP of $1999.99 I’m not terribly sure they are something most scalpers will want to focus on.
But still you’re probably right. Who knows maybe the losses they are all taking on the PS5 pro will make them second guess.
Evga always takes care of people…The taxes on $2000 and also s&h (insurance) might push the out the door price north of $2500
I got sticker shock on taxes about these 1500-1600 dollar cards before.,, something often overlooked
Also if buy scalped and or second hand you may not even have a transferable warranty to boot
How much spare cash ya got?Tariffs are incoming so I'm going to try and get a 5090 as soon as possible (provided I can actually get one).
Enough.How much spare cash ya got?![]()

The funny thing is if you’re not chasing 4K then you can do a lot with a little.The prices are GPU's is just insane anymore. Probably skipping the 5k series

1080p with all the bells and whistles, keeping at or above 60 fps can be done on a 4060.
And the Ryzen 5000 series as well as anything mid range from Intel 11’th gen and up will feed it just fine.
It’s easy to lose perspective when you compare everything against the 4090 and a 9800x3d, but if you look at it starting at “what will give me the same or better experience to a PS5” then things become far less gloomy.

That' and the AI restrictions are why board assembly has been moved out of China by most brands now.Tariffs are incoming so I'm going to try and get a 5090 as soon as possible (provided I can actually get one).
Yeah they are being assembled in Mexico now and they are likely first party too, Foxconn has built their largest facility to date in Mexico and Nvidia is currently their primary client.That' and the AI restrictions are why board assembly has been moved out of China by most brands now.
Trump admin plans to put tariffs on all US trading partners, just more on China.Plenty of these made outside of China.

We’re already preparing for it in Canada, it’s likely to go back on Aluminum, Hydro, and Lumber for sure.Lol. Ok.

Yeah, last time Trump was in office those are the things he put Tariffs on, Energy providers in the states get mad when BC sells cheap Hydro Electric into the states during peak hours, and the cheap Hydro keeps our Aluminum unfairly cheap, and the Canada-US Softwood lumber issue has been ongoing for a long time and he's likely going to use that as a bargaining chip for the upcoming renewals on the water agreements for a bunch of the rivers and lakes along the border. It's not helped that Trump hates Justin, so that alone makes most of Canada like him right now...We make enough Aluminum here in the states. A new smelter going online
here in the next couple years in KY that is going to double the amount of smelt capacity in the US. I do a ton of work in this industry. The cheap, low quality Chinese dump 7/8 years ago nearly killed the US Aluminum industry. We couldn't even recycle scrap for the price that China was shipping their garbage over here for.
Tarrif on hydro power? Not sure how that one works, but ok.
Would be very surprised to see large tarrifs on lumber. That would go against making homes affordable again.
Let's not get bans for talking politics outside the Soapbox.
What you said. However, however, however. The big issue now affecting GPU cards (and probably motherboards, RAM, HDDs, etc) is the how much and when of tariffs. It's the elephant in the room..

Nvidia builds their own “professional” GPUs, and they don’t really have any gaming brands directly under their umbrella.Nvidia RTX 5090 and 5080 GPUs again rumored for CES – but suggestion the RTX 5080 could be positioned as a ‘professional’ GPU might worry PC gamers

I feel like calling something pro instead of gaming would just hurt them trying to get under the regulators radar.So by calling the 5080 and 5090 cards as professional cards it steps around many of the branding agreements Nvidia has with the AIBs, while keeping them compliant with the China bans.
Everything called GeForce would be gaming division I would have though.The Founders Edition cards for example, aren’t technically considered gaming cards.
At least they offer top tier cards, unlike the competition. You can always buy something other than the top card from Nvidia and still come out better off. Live within your means. $1600 mortgage including property taxes isn't bad depending on where you live.Yeah I'm pretty much done with team green. Only time you can afford a top tier card is if you get it used. Prices are just ungodly insane and I'm not going to skip my mortgage payment to get a 5 series.
I can hear it now;
Wife:" Honey, did you pay the mortgage?"
Me: " No babes, I wanted a 5090 so can get moar frames"
Wife: Loads shotgun 'click click' "Get the fuck out!"
Nah it offers a clear delineation, they aren’t going to China in any form, not as a gaming card and certainly not as a professional one.I feel like calling something pro instead of gaming would just hurt them trying to get under the regulators radar.
Right but I wouldn’t be shocked if Nvidia had agreements with their AIBs saying they get to make GForce cards, so by not placing them under GForce there isn’t any cause for them to complain.Everything called GeForce would be gaming division I would have though.
I kind of doubt the 5080 will have professional GPU amount of vram or profession branding, the RTX 4500/5000 mobile made with the 103 class gpu will.
With my current 3080 12g, my card is choking up/stuttering @ 1440 and I pay a whole lot more than $1600 here in NY. I can always get a divorce...oh yeah that pesky thing called alimony. Maybe I can fake my own death? I'm too old to sell off one of my kidneys.At least they offer top tier cards, unlike the competition.

I run a laptop with a mobile 4080 at 2560x1600 at 240hz. Have you tried turning down settings or dlss further? I've yet to run into anything that can't run well on it and it's a bit slower than your 3080 desktop (laptop has 12gb of vram), looks fantastic graphically still even compared to my desktop at 4k.With my current 3080 12g, my card is choking up/stuttering @ 1440 and I pay a whole lot more than $1600 here in NY.
