Will you jump on 40xx Super Video cards or would you rather wait for 50xx series to come out?

I'll go in if 5080 is $699 as with 3080 but that's a long long shot. Maybe $799 to $899 if one include the past two years of high inflation.

Oh wait maybe the 5080 card will also be gimped with 128-bit memory bus and PCIE5.0 x 4, lol.

Yeah, it's most certainly a long shot. This generation was almost certainly a test to see what the market would bear. I for one would most certainly not object to a $699 RTX 5080 if prices fall more in line with previous launches, though.
 
I'm considering dumping my 7900 XTX and just waiting until the 5090 releases to overhaul my system. I'm not really gaming at all right now and I have no interest in the super cards if the rumoured specs and prices are true.
 
Idk if I jump on a 4080 now or wait for these supers. Do we know when the supers / ti’s will drop?

RTX-5xxx series launching this Fall, why buy the soon to be outdated 4090 now? The 5090 is rumored to be 200% faster, seriously.

LOL. No. That's not even close to true. On average the 4090 is 75% faster than the 3090 and 60% faster than the 3090 Ti.

However what I'm hearing is that the current 4090 is actually a 'cut down' card. If Nvidia wanted to go all out they could release a 4090 Ti that is 10-15% faster than the 4090. but they currently have no incentive to do so.

The scuttlebutt is that the uplift from Blacklace (5000 series) vs Ada LoveLace (4000) series won't be nearly as high.

Nvidia will likely put out another profitable (for them) cutdown card in the 5090 because there's simply no competition for it.

It depends. If you want flagship performance then you already went the last 14 months without a 4090 already so you might as well either:

a) re-use your GPU in your new system until the 5090 comes out, or
b) buy a cheap used gpu until the 5090 comes out then re-sell the used gpu to get some costs back

If you don't care for flagship performance then I would imagine you would be able to pick up a Non-Super card at a discounted price as the Super lineup should slot in at the current price points no? So 4070 for $500, 4070 Ti for $700, 4080 for $1000 maybe?

The problem that I always have is spending $500, $700, or $1,000 for those cards seems stupid when you can spend $1600 (only $600 more) for faaar more performance, more memory, and better resale down the road. I just upgraded my Plex box (soon to be a LG C3 / Steamdeck box) to an RTX 4090 because even if the RTX 5090 comes out later this year what am I gonna do for the next 9 months?

We rock all RTX 4090s in the house. Live less than 2 miles from Micro Center. Heh.

4080 Super for $1k comes close though!

People are selling 3080s for 450-500 and 3080tis for 650. Those arent very good buys considering the price/performance space these supers are rumored to occupy
 
Don't think there is a Super that I need so decision is done for me unless there is a 4090 Ti or Super also.
 
$999 for the 4080 Super I hate to say, but that does sound like a good price.

So it's 5% faster than the $1200 4080?
 
I'm tempted to get one, but partly because I need to build a new system. Mine is getting a bit outdated, and it's time to move on from the i5-8600K and GTX 2070 Super...

That i5 is certainly holding you back quite a bit. Had a dell xps box with one (non k though) with a 2080Ti, dropped in an i7 9700k and just having those 2 additional cores with slight higher default clocks made a world of difference even without being able to do any OCing.

The benefit is, the i5-8600k and 2070 Super will be a nice upgrade for the wife/kids computer... that's rocking an i3-4370 and GTX 970.

Eh, I suppose you're right. I'm sure there would be a few, for sure. Just like there were a few people who got Laserdisc setups in the age of VHS, or widescreen plasmas when 4:3 CRTs still reigned supreme... :D
 
I might be interested in the 4080S, depends on what I decide to do with the existing 3080. Selling it would offset the price of the 4080S a decent amount...

Of course, we'll have to wait and see what availability looks like when they're available. I primarily want it for ARK SA. DLSS on Performance is helping quite a bit now, but the IQ on things in the sky/ocean have some serious artifacting/"firefly"-type effects going on pretty consistently that bothers me. It'd also be great to have for my next RDR2 playthrough.
 
I’m hearing that availability for the 4080Su and 4070TiSu won’t be as plentiful as 4070Su so if you want one of those higher models might want to jump on it. Next resupply might not be until March.
 
in an ideal world I'd like to wait for the 5000 series and continue my every other generation upgrade cycle...but I'll most likely get the 4070 Ti Super to replace my 3080 as I want to play ray tracing/path tracing heavy titles maxed out (1440p)

hit me up "the 4090 genie" lmao. FE's are pretty hard to get but got someone here one 2 weeks ago. Have had plenty of chances to grab the strix ones and some msi ones. But you are right if you aren't keeping an eye in the right spots you will never find one.

I think you’re going to be disappointed with anything less than a 4090 for what you’re trying to do. Upgrading to a 4070Ti Super from a 3080 to max out path/ray tracing is a waste of time and money imo. But I guess we’ll know for sure once the reviews drop.

I think I can definitely max out 'regular' RT at 1440p with a 4070 Ti Super (even natively without DLSS)...I'm not expecting path tracing to give me 144hz but I am expecting playable frame rates over 60 at 1440p with DLSS

Correct. The 4080 Super uses full AD103 at 10,240 cores (oddly enough, same exact number of cores as the previous gen 3080 Ti), compared to the 4080 which was at 9,728 cores, about a 5% cutdown from full die.

I feel like their now 4070 Ti Super (also on AD103) being $799 exposes that the 4080 definitely could have been a cheaper card, but in the currently established pricing structure of both Nvidia and AMD this gen, Nvidia definitely has no reason to price it below $999.
 
Considering a 4070 super, 4070 ti super or 4080 super and then getting a 5080/5090 when they come out. Have a 6750xt in my secondary which renders in 4k and my 3080 is still holding up at 1440p, but not sure if it would be OK on 4k due to low ram. The 6750xt is mostly rendering older titles and for casual gaming (platformers, racing games etc.) so it is OKish with 60-100 in most titles, but only get around 45-50 in some of the newer ones. Either getting a 4070 super or 4070 ti super for the secondary or temporary upgrade my main to a 4080 super and then move to a 5080 or 5090 if I feel the need to when they release.

If going with a 4080 super then I would put it on water, the other two would just run on air. Both machines are on water for the CPU and primary has separate GPU loop so a small case swap and another rad in the secondary, some minor loop changes and I could just move the card over. Same if I move the 3080 to the secondary as the 3080 is on water. The 6750xt is most likely going to a friend's kid in exchange for some welding on some stuff I want once I upgrade either of the machines.
 
I'm just going to ride my 3090 out until the 5090 releases. Plus I'm still under warranty with evga through November too.
 
4080S for $1k USD caught my eye, currently on a 10gb 3080 (from release) on a 9700K at 5GHz. At the same time I feel like best course of action is to wait until 5080 and do a full new build in spring 2025 with a Ryzen X3D or something. The new QD-OLED panels just coming out also look like game changers, 27in 1440p 240Hz with HDR... still like my PG279Q but that is tempting.
 
By the time I save up enough to build a rig I actually want, the 50x series will be out anyway.
 
Just built current rig from Christmas sale and in need of a GPU. I'm a little late on the build for this generation, but I was itching for a 4080 to pair with 13700k

I'm coming from i7 8700k with 32GB DDR4 3200 EVGA RTX 3080 10GB. Do you guys think it's a decent upgrade for performance?
Certainly glad that they are having some price cuts on the new 4080 Super.
 
I wouldn't mind a shiny new video card. I've been running with my 3080 since release. Still handles my current titles @ 1440 with full bore eye candy.

8700K vs the 13700K is a significant bump. Being that 4080 Super hasn't released yet no one can tell you how well it will perform but based on specs it looks like it will be small bump over the 4080.

RTX 3080 w/ 10GB vs RTX 4080 w/ 16GB is about double the performance thanks to DLSS 3.5 and Frame Generation which is only available on 4000 series cards.

I'm guessing NVIDIA will raise the price of RTX 5080 by $200 over the RTX 4080.

Sadly this seems the trend. I don't think NVIDIA is worried if the ppl buy less gaming cards... they make a killing selling their A100 cards anyways.

AMD is no threat. ATI was more competitive and based on this article, 2005 was the last time ATI sold more cards than Nvidia... yikes

Poor PC ports and the ever increasing prices of GPUs sometimes makes me wish.... (not gonna say it here as a I know I'll get blasted...lol)

you cannot compare frame Gen vs no frame Gen and claim double the performance, unless you work for nvidia marketing. Firstly frame Gen only works somewhat well if you’re natively pushing reasonably high fps (>60) secondly, it adds latency, so not an option in anything latency sensitive like MP shooters or anything competitive.
