F Chis Roberts, he stole enough from us old diehard Freelancer and Wing commander fans. I'm not giving him a dime until I get 10/10 Squadron 43.

Cheapest 2nd hand 4090 I could find costed 1800€ here in Europe so I might as well get new 5090 for 2300€ if I choose to follow this stupidly expensive route. As for 7900XTX, it is hardly an upgrade over 4070TIS. True you get 15-20% raw rasterisation performance uplift out of it, but you lose...

In my particular case yes. I've fallen into the rabbit hole of VR flight sim gaming and playing Epic 4/5 pancake games in VR using Praydog's UEVR injector. My PC 5700X3D/4070TIS is just not good enough for this. I'd basically need 4090 level of GPU and 7800X3D or better 9800X3D CPU performance...

True. But the sad reality is that not only owners of 4070TIS but even the owners of 7900XT and 7900XTX have no decent upgrade path this gen from neither AMD nor Nvidia. It's like you either go super high end or de facto mid range. The only difference is that Nvidia wants you to pay top dolars...

Here's your answer: "RTX A5000, which are connected using a 384-bit memory interface" NVIDIA RTX A3000 ; Memory Bus Width, 192 Bit" It looks like all these buses went to enterprise market this time around. Gamers are getting only leftovers nowdays.

It makes sense. 128-, 192, 256 are cheap and easy to make as I understand it, so why spend 512-bit memory interfaces on gaming plebs when majority is still gaming at 1080p, when you can sell it to datacenters? Well you can sell 512-bit junky dies in form of 4090/5090 to enthusiast gamers with...

True but they're sadly not offering any upgrade path to someone like me with 4070TIS atm. I have a feeling upper mid to lower high end just died on us. 5080 should be really called 5070 TI, given the bus and core counts. The only OK options remain super expensive 4090 and 5090. I'd expect to get...

Plus increase to 415 W TGP has real world consequences. You pay more for more power hungry device for miniscule performance boots in times when outside temperatures are regularily hitting +40C (at least here in Europe) and we all try to keep our homes as cold as possible. Stupid, just stupid.

Yeah. DLSS is awesome and all but not at the expense of less silicon. Nvidia wants us to effectively pay more for less with each new gen. Maybe it's time we all say FU to Jensen and move on to other hobbies. It looks like DIY PC is dead man walking thanks to crypto and now AI hype.

How about giving us crippled GB202 instead of 203 like Nvidia did with 4070 TI Super? How about returning to 320/352/384 bit bus like we used to get with Super/TI variants of xx80 class GPUs? It's shrinkflation everywhere I look or it's Jensen Vs gamers:nutkick:

APUs are the future of PCs. No more large waffer dies spend on us peasants when you can sell them for more than gold to AI data centers. RIP DIY PC building. It was nice to know you for 30 years.

BD has way too V shaped signiture and bass for my liking. Heissenser classic HD600 and the new HD550 are still headphone kings under $300 when it comes to neutral sound listening imho. With that being said I love my Bayerdynamic TYGR300 R for gaming and movie watching. It's soundstage wideness...

In a meanwhile in US: "Trump says he will reopen Alcatraz prison." Who's getting great again? That's solved ASML will open Beijing facility despite US sanctions on China If you poke a sleeping dragon don't be surprised when it breathes fire I guess.

All I can say to Sony is F off. I'm not buying a single product from your brand anymore. Europeans are not gonna pay for The Orange One's crazy tariff policies. Let US consumer pay for their crazy election choice not us.

I can see China exploiting Ngreedia's, Radeon's and TSMC's greed by offering affordable high end gaming dGPUs to retail caonsumers, just like they did with solar panels & now batteries and EVs. Chinese love PC gaming, consoles not so much, and where there is huge market demand sooner or later...
