NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Founders Edition

[Gica]

In our country, the price of a 6800XT or 6900XT is a stone's throw from the price of a 4080. Of course, the 6950XT surpasses everything, but the revolt on the forum has a precise target: f@ck nVidia!!!
If someone throws away 10 pieces at a dumping price, it doesn't mean that real life is like that. As the AMD video card reports record productions for energy savings. On paper, via OSD, of course, because at the outlet it's a different reality.
Continue the revolt, please. It is possible to force them to reduce the prices by $0.99 if you insist.

You do realize this is a thread about Nvidia RTX 4080 review, right?

That's does not change the fact that the 4080 is ridiculously overpriced. And besides, why do you care about a bunch of people complaining about price? You still find the time to come here and complain about others complain.........LOL

revolt? Thats a harsh melodramatic depiction of the 'inevitably disappointed' broader consumer base. This is not some sort of anti-nV mutinous rebellion or an AMD-sponsored "kill the green monster" campaign. Nothing of the sort... although it's clearly evident this is the position you're taking at your own discretion. I never did warm up to skirmishing AMD and NVIDIA self-affiliated ground troopers.... it doesn't make sense firing sponge stones and rubber bullets on behalf of profiteering giants. The broader consumer perspective outside of the bias is a valid one... whereby if people choose to voice their opinions against these soaring prices (or price/supply manipulation), so be it! It's hardly an attempt to give birth to revolutions... just the common folk appreciating common sense.

FYI, I love NVIDIA products... from 500M-series (laptops) all the way to 900-series dedicated cards. Eventually grabbed the cream of the crop "pricier" 1080 ti .... a few years later, the even more pricier CLC 2080 TI which is my current weekly gaming driver (yep, never touched AMD cards for gaming). On top, I was window-shopping for a 3080/TI but price inflation was a no-go. Waited for 40-series....and now the 4080 with its overly $$$-enriched default MSRP is a big NO-GO. For me it's not about affordability or brand aversion... but with these current prices no-doubt setting some principles or boundaries is hardly "insurrection".

Great news, deserving of a reward! I hope the dollar store gift wraps their chocolate bars - i owe you one!

If I pay a high price for something (over $1100 in this case), I have claims to:
1. Rasterization performance at the highest details in 4K.
2. Performance with ray tracing enabled
3. Performance in productivity (encoding, 3D, streaming, etc.)
From this whole lot, AMD ticks only point 1 (without surpassing the nVidia version), but it seriously fails in the others. It's only worth it if you catch a very good offer, but it's not a small amount of money and you might regret it later.
This is the offer at the moment. Maybe AMD's 7000 series will regulate the market in favor of the buyer (I hope not with "Vega, poor Volta"), but that's how the pawns sit on the table now.

Question:
Those from nVidia learn from the press that there are protests all over the world because of the high prices of video cards. They will open the computers and find out that, nevertheless, the goods sell well, the profit is satisfactory. How will they proceed?
If you have your store, many people buy and the profit satisfies you, will you reduce the prices because two or three pensioners are making noise outside?
No, you won't reduce anything. You will be forced to do it only if the customers leave you.

Continue the protest! The government may fall and the 4090 will cost $99.99, and you will receive money for the purchase of a 4080.
Or, as I keep saying, don't buy!

I have no idea what you are trying to say, sorry.

that's your priviledged and limited opinion. For most people, a whopping 70% increase in price over already several previous Gen expensive MSRPs for a next Gen product is rediculous and not worth buying into. For the creator segment it plays out inversely but for most gamers (you know the mass-consumer base) these 1./2. bragging rights are nice but ABSOLUTELY not worth the dollar they're printed on.

Protests? where? lol

I've been looking out of my window regularly and haven't seen a single protestor with banners and loud speakers. No mention on the news. No mention online. Not even on the radio! Only the Gica trumpet is suggesting otherwise.

or are you making things up again?

Continue the protest! The government may fall and the 4090 will cost $99.99, and you will receive money for the purchase of a 4080.

The Government may fall? looooooooool Gica... your trumpet just blew up. King of Drama, Zero of Actualities!
