Yup even though I "settled" for the MSI AIB model, I'm really glad that Best Buy has scheduled my delivery for February 2nd so at least I'll enjoy my video card very soon.
Amazing how these websites are still screwed up after all these years.
Yup it's pretty sad. Glad I had the phone app ready in case of any glitches or else I wouldn't have gotten a card.
Yup. Here's hoping that the 5080 sells for $799. I would consider at $999 with today's inflation but I'm still flat out passing and waiting for the 6000 series if Nvidia sells it for $1200!
The crazy thing for me is BB even tells you they will hold it for 10 minutes which they obviously don't. I am at the submit screen and 2 minutes later they have removed it.
I think you will be okay on 4K. You always have DLSS/FSR in your corner if you need it.
Were you able to secure a 4080 Super for yourself in Canada or did they sell out too fast?
Wow at least you got an order confirmed. I've never even been able to see the 4080 Super as an option on Amazon and believe me I've looked a few times.
It was on reddit for a couple of hours and a link from a sketchy stock tracking site (https://old.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/1af1ni6/amazon_just_dropped_4080_super/) - you had to know the specific URL, I guess. I am sure I was order number 5,382 hence my late ETA. I can go grab one at my local Micro Center today but really want an FE...it's a bummer that the 4080 cheese grater from MSI is a disappointment cooling-wise (not that it matters that much) - so definitely not worth the extra $170...
Way too much here - for me. I knew it would be pretty bad - but, my hope for 4080s to be reduced was dashed. The ppl saying Nvidia/retailers won't care were right - nothing happened. I think it's insane but no one cares - I guess both Nvidia and all these vendors don't care if these cards sit in their stores.
Looking to nab a 4080S, I'm coming from a 3080Ti and really want the ray tracing performance for CP2077.
Running a 1660 Ti that isn't mine - since, I sold a 3080 10gb I had - but, didn't have a replacement ready.
I was going to say, maybe they had issue making perfect chips and do not have much a big volume of 7900xtx to sells for the long window they have to sell them (if the rumors of the next launch will not be for cards that remove the 7900xtx of the market as the top AMD performer are true) or maybe they are just waiting for near MSRP 4080 super to not be out of stock to cut the price.
I feel for you. The pricing situation sounds crazy in Canada.
Used 4080's in Canada must drop down to $1100-1200 max in my view. Used cards should cost less than a new card pre-tax by at least $100-200. Sellers of course are often delusional and will sit on listings for months until accepting the price landscape has changed. Just keep hitting new listings with a reasonable price offer on a used 4080 if you want, eventually someone motivated to sell (cash strapped, upgrading (to what?)) will take a reasonable offer.
4090 or 4090TI if one ever arrives but not until 5000 series is released and hopefully the price on the 40 series plummets. I got what i consider to be a great deal on my 3090 using that method.
Ppl are insane then? Or just greedy #$##$? I see $1400 and up - sometimes, there's a couple of $1200 cards but they're outside my area - so, what do I do? Ask if they'd go a bit lower? Ask to ship it - that's stupid, right? Risky without knowing the seller? The price landscape changed a while ago - with the crypto craze - but, shouldn't it settle by now? I think it's ppl who don't need money who already bought these cards? Because, I rarely see the prices fluctuate or decrease - and ppl (not many, mind you) have stated firm on their ads and kept to that - although, my sample size is pretty small - I have only chatted with 3 sellers thus far - well, 4 - but 2 disappeared (and so did the ads).
The 7900xtx is partially ignored due to low RT performance. E.g. I have a 3080 and it is doing fine in 1440p outside of ray tracing. Going to a 7900xtx would give me better raster, but just a tiny upgrade to RT and no DLSS. I wouldn't mind a 7800xt or higher from AMD in my sim racing rig, as I don't do RT on that one but at the same time all titles I use it for run at least 60fps on average with the settings I want.
Same here, and I already have a very fast card as is.
Aww man now that Moore's Law claims that's what the performance gains are, it won't happen
Not sure why you trust anything from that source.
That 2 chips connected together maybe a la M1 ultra or an other technic to combine 2 die together (2x104B), look how much bigger it is :
