Sadly not gonna happen . They have nothing that is close to 4090.

Weird year for gaming hardware
Vr headsets and Consoles get more expensive and GPU's get unannounced
But isn't the real 4080 $1200 ?

Excuse you sir.
The RTX 3080 launched at 700 dollars MSRP
I proposed having the 4080'16G at 800 dollars would be a sign of goodwill after this debacle.
But clearly I "and people like me" are insane cuz why would they increase the price of the xx80s gen on gen?
Ohh right....700 dollars in 2020 is 800 dollars today....so in effect no increase in price gen on gen.
But isn't the real 4080 $1200 ?

lol they are confused themselves. Trying to make max profits as possible. But since the 4080 12gb is on par with 3090 they can still price it with respect to it and what AMD has to offer. I guess they are in a position to call the shots. 4080 name was definitely wrong everyone knew it looking at the specs.

Need to unlaunch the 16GB too, it's even worse than the 12GB. Trading blows with the 3090's for $1200+, the 4080 Strix is literally going to cost as much as a 4090. At least the 12GB could boast it was (barely) under a Grand, nobody's going to buy the gimped ass 16GB to save $200 over a 4090. It'll be Nvidia's most disastrous product launch of at least the past decade, possibly of all time. GPU sales must be in absolute free fall for Nvidia to do this after already announcing it.

They don't have to. $1600 is a stupid amount of money to pay for a GPU. Actually in the UK the 4090 is going to cost approx $1900-2000.
If they have a 4080 16GB beater at a cheaper price, that's a win.

These things that they are trying to pass as x080's should be $600. Let's see how their stuff does in a worldwide recession.

GAFs #1 source for car graphic comparisons
In Belgium the difference between 16gb RTX 4080 and RTX 4090 is 500€. FE RTX 4080 16gb costs 1500€ while the RTX 4090 costs 2000€. AIB models of the RTX 4080 are closer to 2000€ while the RTX 4090 versions cost 2500€. This shit is ridiculous and fucked up at the same time.

Reverse groomer.
I dont get this. If they don't have something as good as the 4090 why would they wait so long? Whenever AMD had a worse product they'd release it immediately to cash in on the next gen sales before nvidias offer came out. If anything this gives me hope since it's clear they're working hard and are clearly confident in their product

Follow the quote thread friend.
I am proposing that the 4080'16G should be 800 - 900 dollars.......at 1200 it is well overpriced.
For an extra 200 dollars you gain so much, the only value proposition is rather shockingly, the 4090.
At 800 dollars the 4080'16G becomes a much more attractive card.

Yeh I was thinking maybe because of this there could be a chance they drop the price of the 16GB 4080 but I think that will depend on what AMD announce. The date they've announced would afford them the liberty to do so.

This is what im hoping for.
AMD announce a 4080'16G competitor at ~750 dollars......Nvidia will have to cave and reduce the price.
Cuz even with RT and ML benefits the price differential alone would make the 7800XT a much much better buy.
Its unfortunate the AMD event is before the launch of the 4080'16G but I think enough data on it has already leaked AMD have a good gauge of how powerful it is.
It would have been a real death blow if AMD could have benchmarks of the 7800XT that costs ~750 beating the 1200 dollar RTX 4080.

They haven't been competitive at the high end for a while.

7900 xt at $1300 not matching a 4090 at $1600 is whatever for most people. I want to see what $400 worth of rdna2 looks like before I make any judgments on how well they can compete.

I expect AMD's top card to compete with the 4090 in Rasterisation. Much more than RDNA 2 did with Ampere.
The wild card here however is ray-tracing, which 4090 will very likely win out on.

Right, because consumer electronics have always kept pace with inflation. And you can't even keep your story straight, since you said "$800-$900"
BTW $500 PS3 says "hi".
See how stupid an argument that is

As a stock owner Nvidia can go to hell. Consumers have to react this way with every single product on PC until prices go back to normal. Even after the crypto boom they are ripping gamers off. Just play older games, reduce settings, play emulators whatever... Don't bring the FOMO/YOLO mentality to PC gaming. Play the waiting game. Take advantage of the endless catalogue of games and don't think about HW.
I am sure devs will learn to optimize better if gamers buy less HW. Actually taking advantage of the HW we use like on consoles.

I mean, they are only doing this now at the last second because the lawyers probably told them they will get sued to hell. They tried to pull another one on the dumb consumers. Remember "3.5 + 0.5 = 4!!!" nonsense and you still had people defending that shit.
I'm sure the AIB partners will be thrilled about this. EVGA got out at the right time LOL

What does the PS3 have to do with anything we are discussing here?
The reason I use 800 - 900 is cuz if the MSRP is 800 dollars some people in the US have to pay tax on that, also the majority of people end up getting AIB cards anyway, so generally speaking you end up paying between 800 and 900 dollars.
Why did I have to explain that to you?

I'm glad NVidia decided to take the L and end this rebranded 4070 madness.
I also loathe how they launch their next gen cards with cut down chips. Of course they do this for future 'Ti' or Super iterations. I understand. That doesn't mean we have to like the idea of paying such sums for 4080s/4090s with 10% - 20% of the die disabled. The only reason this is viable is due to lack of competition.
AMD made the mistake with RDNA2 of not competing against the full NVidia equivalent chips. This left NVidia able to ruin AMDs RDNA2 launch straight away with their 'latest' Super 3000 series cards. AMD have to be smarter with RDNA3 and get it right on the performance side. If they release full chips they must compete with the full die on the NVidia side of things.

You're arguing about inflation. A completely retarded argument, since what the RTX 4080 cost isn't going to be at parity with inflation. And besides that the 80 series has historically been in the $600 range for YEARS. Explain that.
But you felt the need to use inflation as the basis of your argument, so how would it be any different if I argue that the PS5 should have cost $750 (based off how much the PS3 cost 16 years ago) according to your flawed logic.
Why did I have to explain that to you?

All they have to do is price the 16GB 4080 at $899 and what will now be called the 4070 at ~$500 and these things will fly off the shelves.
But the main reason they won't - they got greedy and made too many 3xxx series cards, running their business under the assumption that the crypto bubble was never going to pop. If they priced the new cards as I outlined above nobody is going to buy the 3xxx series cards unless heavily discounted and they won't even do that. They've really got themselves into a pickle here.

2 reasons
1- whatever they have is not ready ( drivers maybe or hardware, who knows )
2- They always release after Nvidia just to see what they got it in terms of pricing and try and go lower to compete. its always been the case.
If AMD comes first, Nvidia will just crush them. they will do the same move AMD used to do and no one will buy a banana from AMD where they already lacking in terms of sales.
if AMD had something higher or can match the 4090, you think they will sit on it and watch people spend their money on a 4090 and not their card? they will shout it from top of the roof. even if its just a teaser like ( the most powerful GPU is coming This Nov ) .
they don't. that simple.

Somewhat hyperbolic, but not really. It's more like a 3090 Super than a new 2 year generation, and these are the games Nvidia chose to highlight meaning they're likely the most favorable benchmarks. I also meant the premium 4080's are basically going to cost as much as all the base 4090's. It's a terrible card at a terrible price, nobody with a working brain is going to buy a card that's half as fast to save $200. Literally everyone interested in a $1000 class card is going to buy a 4090, they're all serving the same market.

A small bit of positivity amongst the shitshow that is the 4080 cards.
Doesn't change how overpriced the 4089 16GB still is, nor will the pricing be any better when they launch it as the 4070, 899, 849, 799 doesn't matter it's gonna be way overpriced.

Yeah this is the important bit here. As far as I'm concerned the can't launch the card without a price drop now.
Should probably lower the price on the big 4080 too. The 4090 is currently the one that makes the most sense and that's absurd no matter how you look at it.

I mean, coming from the Company of Hubris, this is rather unprecedented. I wonder if there was a partner revolt over the product stack and wanted their master to cool their jets before they make a mess.
EDIT:
Nah.
This seems like a power move to fuck partners.
Make them reprint everything, update and reprint all their documentation, update schematics, symbols, BOMs, silkscreens, reflash card BIOS by going through manufacturing flow again, revise marketing, skus, part numbers, all at the final hour.
EVGA got out early.
