I would have purchased the 5080 if it had 20GB RAM, but no - NVIDIA gonna be NVIDIA.
I genuinely hope the 5000 series bombs hard. They need to be taught a lesson.
Depends on the price/ performance It’s always depending on the price . If 5080 is same or performance as 4090 but for 1200$ instead of 1600$ the 4090 was . Then how it will fail ? 16 gig is still more than enough for the next 3 years of gaming at 4k ( I don’t see any game that is requiring more than that for now at least )
I don’t see publishers/ devs pushing for more than 16 gigs max anyway for now as the market for that is super slim.
To me at least. The name of the card does not associate with the price . Having a 5080 for example that beats a 4090 is not a high mid range card like the 3080 was when it was for released.
Even the 4080 beating the highest AMD can offer isn’t considered a mid range card .
Ideally I want the cards to be dirt cheap but seeing AMD tapping out . That is sadly not gonna happen and we need to vote with wallet. If price to performance is outrages , then we shouldn’t buy it.
But who are we lying to ? It will most likely be sold out for months
