I have no doubt it's much faster than 3080 to 3080 Ti when you enable DLSS 3. That's probably what those 2-3 times numbers were. It's easy to gain high fps when you generate new frames by interpolation.

Ya, only marketing bs for donkeys who digest it like straw.
Real performance will be laughable compared to the constant price increases.

€1800 in EU most likely.
This has NOTHING to do with inflation, how can prices of GPUs more than 2 fold in 3 years time.
-Tj-
Wasnt there not long ago european nvidia site stating them for 1100€?
Edit: ah that was for the fake 12gb variant
. What a bs.. this 16gb should be that price max!

Indeed. The news media is reporting record high margins for US corps (which is a lot of global corps in reality).

I mean, if it works, I will gladly eat it like straw...?
You seem to think since DLSS 3.0 is a clever shortcut that it must be bad. What if you literally can't tell the difference between 120FPS with DLSS 3.0 and 120FPS via brute-force rendering?

The 3080 had a MSRP of $700 while its successor, the 4080 has a MSRP of $1200. That $1200 to 1300 price tag should've been reserved for the 4080 ti instead. Given that this 4080 has much more performance than the 3080 with newer tech and more VRAM, it would've been reasonable to price this instead at a starting point of about $900 but definitely not at $1200. The price of this card is too much when compared to the 4090 which is only priced at $100 more than its predecessor, the 3090. That's why the 4090 is a much better deal even at its higher price than this upcoming 4080.

If someone can't notice the difference or spot visual artifacts they likely have perception problems.

Yup. Inflation excuse is such a bs. I'm following prices of many tech products closely and nothing was affected by "inflation" like Nvidia GPUs. LG OLEDs didn't 2x in price, high end smartphones didn't 2x in price, laptops didn't 2x in price. While yes it's true some silicon components increased in price, other decreased so it evens out and it's obvious all other companies are capable of offering similar prices to what we had 2 or 3 years ago. But Nvidia has to increase price 2x times? LMAO get out with this bs.

I don't know if I can bring myself to spending $1200 for a video card. I can "afford it". It's the principal. I can go buy a lot of things, doesn't mean I should. First off, seems kind of dumb to before I have anything installed that needs an upgrade. I'm sure next year when UE5 games hit they will make my system crawl and then I'll have more interest but right now? What do I need this for? The remakes and annual games that 2022 was loaded with? Furthermore, this is a big jump in price. I've seen plenty of cards come out with big leaps in performance not cost this. I understand some inflation but this is ....I said this would happen last year when everyone was paying 3x the price on eBay for a card. I said, Nvidia is seeing a lot of money they're leaving on the counter right now, seeing what people are willing to pay for these cards. Sure enough...here we are.
Does the 4080 have the same ridiculous pin connectors that the 4090 have?
0blivious
That's way too much. Show nvidia how wrong they are by not buying them.
Venix
Let me start to make clear I really believe GPU prices are way too high ATM . Now what makes it seem so unreal is that in the past 1 euro was buying 1.15 to even 1.30 USD last year or so euro is really close to be 1:1 to the USD .... So in the past the 20% vat was mostly offset by the exchange rate , that's gone .... Now put on top of that the inflation and on top of that the presculped prices and there you have it.

Suggest you watch hardware unboxed, they do excellent job pulling it apart. It's horrific in F1 2022 driver names glitch like crazy.
Corrupt^
I recon prices will remain bs high until they burn through the 30 series stock tbh.
Undying
Indeed. Also no midrange ada lovelace gpus as they need to sell more 30 series therefore 3070ti ga102, 3060ti g6x and 3060 8gb.
Horus-Anhur
That's a really hefty price.

It`s a ridiculous price, specially when we consider that the 4080 is made on a different die, smaller and cheaper, to the one present on the 4090.
Nvidia wants to take us for a ride, i hope everyone says "f*** no!"...

I think some of the reason (not all of it) for these prices is also because they can see where graphics cards sales will be in a few (2-4) generations. Theres going to be photo realistic graphics, and the cards are going to be able to handle it easily at 4K. At that point, why would anyone need to upgrade their graphics card? I mean yeah there will be some hardcore enthusiasts who will want more rays in the raytracing and 144fps @ 8K, but for the most part the differences will be very difficult to discern between. So it makes sense that they're trying to get as much money now as possible, because in 5 years time things could be very different.
icedman
common ppl they only do this because we keep buying them at these stupid prices idk why AMD is still the underdog with the 6000 series nvidia literally has nothing that competes price for price (not tier to tier) nvidia cards across the board are priced a tier up vs AMD and perform worse at least here in Canada.
KissSh0t
If by people you mean miners and scalpers... then sure, technically Nvidia got the sale.
