Preferred the numbers without the stupid 'super' stuck on the end.
I’m glad I got a 4090.
I have been waiting since 2016 to get a new GPU. Should I continue to wait?
Be with your family
Will 4080 super have dumb sketchy power adaptor?
when i get money something like this will be great …however when I get money please let the scalpers find gainful employment first…maybe???
I am interested in the 4080 super. I have only bought EVGA cards in the past, so I’m not sure what direction to go in. I want to replace my 3080 ftw since I bought a 49” OLED ultra wide and cyberpunk is having some trouble running it at reasonable settings.
Still running a 2060 that i got with stimulus money, along with an i5 8th gen lol. Planning on upgrading to a 4070 ti super and im torn between an i5 13700k, or a 7800x3d; i play games that are both cpu and gpu heavy, and i also need efficiency for producing music and things like that, anyone help?
I’ll be buying the 4070 ti Super as soon as it launches. Putting it in a new build which will be a huge upgrade from my current 1080 ti I’m still using (and pushing it to its max lol)
What BS! First they make you spend a ton $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ on other cards with issues now they do this! Go figure!! Anyone see a pattern here??
Sob story here…
I JUST bought a 4070ti before realizing the super was coming out this month. Honestly this is getting exhausting. Like you mentioned before , it’s all feels like a cash grab. Now I’m stuck with a slightly sub par card. I’ll only be gaming in 1080p or 1440p (VR in most cases) so I’ll be fine I guess. I came from a 980ti so the difference will still be quite noticeable.
I’m not going to return the 4070ti because #1 I think there’s a restock fee still lose money trying to swap.
#2 I’m tired of chasing performance with hardware. Every year there’s some new shadows, textures, particles or badly optimize game that forces you to upgrade. It really takes the fun out of all of it. I’d rather just turn most of that stuff off and keep my money.
See you in 1080p on high settings until the 6000 series 😅👋🏽✌🏽 Thanks for reading my TED Talk
@Jayztwocents what time do the new GPU's drop? Or is it staggered throughout the day? Just want to be sure I'm ready to wake up early if need be.
I think Nvidia will launch another batch of 40series after this January 🤞 big price war definitely coming
Each name began to cost money.
I wonder if they are very smart or we are very stupid?
News from recent years, money does not fall from the sky !
We understand you want to make money, but is this the way to go?
Like a math problem, now take this out, then put that in, a little more of this, a little more of that.
For how long it took me to wait for a 3080ti, plus how long I had to save for it, it’s running everything I play amazing and I’ll hold onto it until games come along that need more horsepower at 3440X1400 resolution for my ultra wide. I don’t think I’ll ever sell my EVGA 3080ti, because it’s the last Gen of GPU EVGA will ever sell. Will make a nice piece on my shelf.
Title correction : Nvidia is releasing more overpriced garbage
I have the ifixit 54 bit driver kit toolset. It is pretty nice and does the job. I can't remember how much I paid, probably $20-$30 on amazon. The only computer stuff I've used it on is my Winwing Orion2 HOTAS setup.
Having regrets about the price of an older buy is weird: At that time the decision was made you wanted the card for that price. Things get differently priced all the time.
You can not wait forever until things get cheaper or whatever, that way you never get to buy anything!
Just decide on the current (at time of buying) price and if that is what you are willing to pay then run with it. No Regrets, unless the product is broken or does not deliver what was promised.
The Greatest!
i ordered new build parts and ordered 4070ti for just over £800 and then seen reviews and was upset and seen 192bus instead of 256bus which is same on my old good gpu i still love is a gtx 1070. i have alienware aw3423dwf 165hz monitor so if the 4070ti super does 144hz it would be best to get 4080 super right?
i would bit it for 0.00
Yay More video cards that cost as much as my portion of rent money! What a time to be a PC gamer…… But, seriously, I think I've lost all interest in PC gaming now over the last two/three generations of cards. Thanks NVidia.
Well, the consumer is to blame stop complaining about the price and using names like ngreedia and stop buying these cards for their outrageous prices. Now, knowing a 4080 could have been sold for sub 1k and be profitable, just imagine the profits on a 4090. The PC community is plauging itself with just buying the latest card because it's the latest and no other reason. Only buy if you have to or wait at minimum 2 generations, then you will truly get more frames per dollar spent upgrade.
We got a 4090 fe in our office and now we picked up a 4070 TI super. I think it is the best value 16gb vram for 3d rendering right now! For gaming? Not sure, I'll probably prefer 7900xt instead
i feel a4060 ti super coming that fits right in that gap
4080 super has already been over priced on amazon its now 1400 to 2000 dollars this is getting ridiculous i give it a few days and all these cards will be overpriced just like the 30 series are and we're screwed again.
I actually loved the iFixit add.
Nvidia could lower their prices as much as $200 on some cards and still make a nice profit. Lets be real now, we have seen videos with good price breakdowns. the 4070, 4070 Ti, 4070 Super cards could all live in that $429-$549 range and make money. then drop the $4070 Ti Super in that $600 range, 4080 $729, 4080 super $749. Nvidia is still making good profit and these prices are not stupid unreasonably high. inflation yes i get but NVidia just charges what they want knowing people will still buy them. Need AMD to Take another step and get the competition really going again. If people would buy AMD this market pricing by Nvidia would change quickly.
I want to upgrade with a 5090 already. it would be perfect. stream and play in 4k 120 with no dips. im still rocking 2x EVGA 1080FTW's. Game and stream in 1080P 60 FPS.
I own a 3060ti do you think it’s worth the upgrade ? To get a 4070ti super ?
4070 Ti is the most requested card at the moment by my customers in their custom build, Its £269.99 here in the UK.
Nah cuz like where is the 4060 super at
4070ti super gonna be plenty good for 1440p 165hz?
nVidia's naming is so stupid.Why not call them Ultra or 4075 or 4670?
YOOOO Mr. 2 cents
so i have a real question, ive google but obviouslly cant get unfiltered results on the topic, (hope i dont get a killcontract on my face for asking this) but…
Why o why do we keep eating microsofts shit? why does nobody create an unbloaded working OS (just like any linux or Mac OS) with .exe compatibility?
i know its not a weekend task but SERIOUSLY have you EVER met someone that wants to use Windows instead of us havin NO options for work reazons or gaming reazons i can imagine
20 geeks and 1 year can make the difference, I would be willing to pay over 500eur for an actual working os, NO joke, if its a real product I pay, instead of KMSpico my trash almost usless Windows, that by the way has broke many a periferial becase of the bug patching and no moral integrity of microsoft
so in short, why is that? thers WAYYY smarter programer out there that also HATE monopoly
Thank you
and PS, ur videos are GREAT and sooo informative, keep it up dude
I feel like this is the pricing structure that Nvidia should have launched with. I bought a 7900XT in May of last year simply because Nvidia was on a silly little greedy binge, AND, because the 20GB of VRAM is very much used in my case. I know a lot of reviewers and gamers consider 20GB as more of a selling strategy than something that is used in modern games, but my primary game of choice is VRChat, and let me tell ya, I have been in instances with 80 to 100 people and I have seen all of that 20GB of VRAM put to use. Social experiences like VRChat that run entirely on user generated content is hard if not impossible to optimize well, as literally every avatar could be (and likely is) using a different shader, material, texture, etc.
All that being said, the 7000 series of cards have never run all VR games particularly well for me, and I have dealt with various driver related bugs, timeouts, and crashes since I have owned it. The July drivers improved VR performance considerably, but the experience in some VR titles (like VRChat) remain poor. Depending on the world I'm hanging out in, I get stutters so bad when I move my head from side to side that I have to find someplace else to hang. Some driver releases improve this, or reduce it so that it is almost not noticeable, only for later driver releases to make it worse than it was from the beginning. I have the feeling that the AMD driver team is having an unreal time trying to figure out how to handle the chiplet architecture their hardware engineering team put together. Just for clarification, I upgraded from an Nvidia 1080, and although the frametimes were much higher, they were much more consistent and there was little to no stuttering no matter the world I went to.
With the new pricing, I am heavily considering switching out my 7900XT with a 4080 Super or 4070 Ti Super. Although there is less VRAM, my experience tells me that the overall gaming experience in VRChat will be much smoother, and given that I will probably spend 700+ hours in there this year, smoothness is very important to me. It's a shame, because I really like the 7900XT aside. It plays typical 3D games like nobodies business, and even some VR titles, like Half Life Alyx, are silky smooth. Still, if it can't play the game I enjoy most without headache inducing stutters, then what's the point in keeping it?
Gonna wait for the 5090 for that sweet 4k high refresh rate, i bought a 280€ 3060 12gb in the meantime a year ago
I am really hoping that a $999 4080 Super means a price drop for the 7900XTX because that is the card I want to replace my 980ti.
I was expecting a 4090 super.
Too bad who is gonna buy 4080 super it’s still trash.
Be keeping my 3080 for a while yet
Jay please review asus tuf 4090 "OG" oc card!! A lot of us got stuck with this card because we didn't know what it was! Was pissed when i took the cooler off to see what the pcb was!
These marketing graphs are so misleading and scummy it should be fucking ilegal.
Having more VRAM can be a gain in at-least two situations. The most obvious is with slower rendering programs that use massive detailed scenes, which are often static renders or slower HD animations for video. Daz3D, Maya, SketchUp3D, Cad, 3DSMax, etc. The second place, specific to games, is with post-use cashing, pre-loading and free-space-reservation. Though a game may actively be using only 4GB, internally, VRAM can be allocated and used with the OS and the internal chips, without designation specific to "the game". Having free-memory that is unassigned, is faster to fill than "looking for free memory, able to be allocated", from within narrow spaces of used memory. The unassigned memory is in a whole chunk, vs "free memory", which may be fragmented across 40,000 segments. Additionally, all that free space allows active defragmentation of "fast access cache". Graphics constantly being used a lot, can be shifted into faster allocations or lower fragmented locations. Stale graphics, which may be used again, soon, can be kept around longer, instead of needing to be reloaded and ALSO processed into a final production, before use.
There is more to VRAM and RAM "use", than just the "total used volume".
Cards will ultimately be given a new birth when they start to include "FPGA" chips. That would allow GPUs to get instant upgrades, specific to games, which do NOT totally depend on any pre-programmed functions within a die. It could also extend GPUs into transitions and provide viable alternatives to "new die technology", near "die speeds", when needed. With AI becoming a fore-front of technology, now with a deeper reach into gaming, "FPGA" chips will soon become a required component within a GPU setup, as well as being within CPUs structures. (Like the old math co-processors once were required, until they just became part of the GPU and CPU themselves.)
If they took advantage of analog processing, from digital components, then they could get even bigger gains, for video-games. (Things which don't need those major precisions, only "perceptive changes" based off "adaptive transitions". Those things are faster to process in analogue, using digital components in an analogue output. Not in "simulation of analogue", actual analogue formulations. There is a company doing this, which abuses nVidia chips to get 100x-10,000x processing speed gains, for AI and other things. Using the chips in ways they were never intended to be used, by logical perceptions. 😛 )
