DON’T Buy an RTX 4080 Super just yet!

Maybe you should hold off a bit before purchasing one of Nvidia's new RTX 4080 Super, RTX 4070 Ti Super or RTX 4070 Super GPUs that were launched at CES 2024. AMD might just have something to say about Nvidia's pricing.

Also AMD and Intel release some new CPUs.

I don't think PC gamers actually play games. They just obsess about GPU specs all day and analyse benchmarks.

[glw]

Would the fact that the 7900 XTX competes favorably with the 4080, plus the "extra 8gb of vram" coupled with a probable price drop make it a better value over the 4080 Super even though there's a performance increase and significant price drop? Can't wait for a 7900 XTX vs 4080 Super benchmark!

[katiepaine]

Seems a lot of us were ready to get the 7900xtx just before 4080s announcement. I would really like to see comparison vids and get advice on which to get. Such a tough decision now! Also, a comparison of the two cards with an AMD 7800x3d CPU, since pairing the xtx with the x3d gives a boost.

So I would say the majority of my time spent on the computer are productivity/desgin applications like after effects, blender, unity, unreal, photoshop, etc. with that said I do plan on getting a 4080 super when I upgrade. I’ve been on my 5700xt since 2020 and when it comes to rendering time specifically with blender it takes forever to render animations in cycles. Compared to the numbers I’ve seen in Nvidia cards, Nvidia crushes on that end. If I wasn’t doing anything other than gaming I’d probably skip out on Nvidia entirely and favored team red a little longer. Unfortunately for me as a designer my time matters and team green can save me a lot of time on rendering. Any other creatives out there similar to me please I’d like to talk abt this more!

I hate to say this about NVidia. But many of us gamers are just plain sick and tired of their pricing and marketing games and this name structure is just insane too. To make matter worse for them the power connector is still an issue and NVidia never once apologized for their screwup on their part. They just sold a bad product and left the consumer hanging and blame them for their own mistake. NVidia is done in my book and they can go just suck wind at this point for all I care.

Now AMD on the other hand is looking better and better with each new product coming out and they are beating NVidia hand over fist in pricing and product quality.

Intel's GPU even looks better then NVidia.

NVidia need to focus more on cleaning up their act and if I was a stockholder with them. I would demand their CEO to be fired.

Its bigger question how retailers will react with tens of thousands of rtx 4080 and 4070/ti cards at high prices which are now there

[tofu_golem]

Not to worry. I'm not buying ANY RTX 4000 cards even if they were reasonably priced give that people are still finding new things wrong with the 12VHPWR connector.

And to be honest, I doubt AMD will lower the price on the 7900XTX enough to make me want to upgrade my existing card.

[Calypso]

What the card with the anonymous hacker art?

[OrisX]

I was just researching part for building my first PC ever and was going to get the 7900XTX when I saw the 4080 Super announcement. I dont really know a whole lot about this sort of this so I am not sure which to go with.

[nullvektor]

Nvidia will intentionally not supply enough cards so that people get desperate and end up buying the original 40 series at msrp.

US - Bestbuy price as of 2024/01/19 : Asus Tuff 4080 Super, NON OC - $1199 (Yes non OC version, and even the OC one is a ripoff since u can just OC urself)
Asus ROG Strix OC 4080 super - $1550... Yeah ....
MSI Ventus, Gigabyte aero/gaming are between $999 to $1050 tho. I suspect those cards near MSRP will sell out due to not many of them (Like 2 per store). There was a Zotac 4080 black friday sale for $980, but it's a Zotac so ...). Most of the cards are $1100 +, with Asus charging the usual Asus tax. There was a Zotac 4080 black friday sale for $980, but it's a Zotac so ...

RTX 4000 series = Good performance, great features, TERRIBLE VALUE
RTX 4000 Super line up = Very good performance, great features, BAD VALUE

The issue has been the pricing. The performance R&D focus needs to go in favour of creating these chips/cards at decent pricing.

Honestly a RTX 5070 16GB for $399 without any performance gains over the 4070 would still be a HUGE win.

[MrESSE]

dont buy it yet?' where the fck you could buy super cards anyway?? and you think that Amazon, Newegg, microcenter and all others will throw or cutt on half prices of non super cards which have pretty high prices now

[hinatashoyo]

Like always
Vote with your wallets guys
And dont buy that scam

[shinkouhadoken]

Can we stop calling these “interesting marketing strategies” and start calling them what they are?? Minimal improvements and money grabs?

[ArnoldSmithFergusson]

the $200 reduction are still insane price if you compared with 30's series performance.

[kerotomas]

DON’T Buy an RTX 4080 Super just yet! - won't be problem as it's launch is 3 weeks away lmao

[stever]

I don't know who on earth would spend $1000 on a 80 series card. When ray tracing is in such infancy. By the time it's remotely normalized these cards will be outdated.

All new cards now are still over-inflated due to the pandemic and supply chain issues, we are past this. If you had a card back then you paid more just to have a card, those are not normal prices and they cannot be used to justify new prices..

AMD for the win...with all the V ram, I could care less. If I have 160 FPS over 145 at 1440P if a Nvidia card offers 5% more.

You have to have rocks in your head to be buying new graphics cards today.
