Hope they either suck less or are less expensive than the 4000 series. Both would be great, but that for sure won’t happen

I'm sure they won't be any cheaper. Nvidia can be as greedy as they want given the low competition they have.

And with the 4000 Series it worked so damn well. 4090s sold like sliced bread

It’s just frustrating that mining has made it effectively impossible to buy a higher end video card at anything even approaching a reasonable price.

nVidia simply noticed that enough people were willing to pay the absolutely ridiculously inflated prices scalpers were demanding and realized they could skip the middleman and reap the profits themselves. Crypto and COVID might have been how they found that out, but the lack of competition is the reason they are getting away with it.

At least the performance gap somewhat justified the price. The other cards, mainly 4060 got little to no performance upgrade, yet cost more.

Honestly I am hoping that Intel's BattleMage solves a lot of the problems they had with their first card launch. While I dislike Intel, competition is good for everybody.

The enthousiastic Intel marketing guy that was on the GamersNexus videos left the company, so it's not looking great.

Thanks, Steve!

So I should apply for a 2nd mortgage to get that ball rolling?

[-] Shadywack@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Fuck nVidia, I hope AMD's MI3000 eats their AI lunch so they can go crawling back to the gaming table. Motherfuckers.

I'm too old, I've seen too many generations come full cycle to 5x nomenclatures, first Voodoo (just the once:'(), Radeon like two or four times (bcs reasons), now GeForce is going for the third.

I need an upgrade and I will buy Nvidia’s latest thise time (instead of AMD).

The question is, when? How long should I wait after it releases to not be an early-tester?
