This time, they had the sense of not introducing a 5080 20GB with 16K cores, aka, the real 5080. This is the 12GB 4080 all over again.

That card would have been the go-to card for many people here, even if priced at $1200-1300. But it would have made a 5090 a much harder sell at $2K. Also, the 5070ti (same performance as the current 5080) would be $999 or similar.

I think it would have been better. But I would have gotten that theoretical 5080 instead of a 5090, which is probably the issue.

There might be a 5080 Ti at some point.

So, if this wasn't clear, Nvidia did it again. They gave us a generational leap (of sort, but 30% is justifiable when there is no node shrink) then pretended to give us a new card "at the same price or less" by simply changing how they name cards.

I was expecting this video because of their recent breakdown of historical generation over generation gains. I was not expecting it to be so brutal, though.

Mayhaps AMDs 9070 is stacking against a historical 70 class card rather than the current gen.

5080 Super at the very least.

The strategy is clear, grab as many FOMO buyers as possible in the first 12mths of release then mop up the patient hold outs who know the 'real' 5080 comes later.

The 5080 Super is just gonna be a clockspeed tweak and 24 GB of ram.

Probably. A fake Ti card that won't offer close to 5090 performance for much cheaper (which is what we used to get). I expect it to be a Blackwell 4090 in both performance, VRAM, and price. And it will probably still be a great deal compared to everything else.

I say probably because they might decide not to do it if the 5090 keeps selling out.

Way to twist words. I never said people can't be excited for a new GPU. It's just annoying as shit for someone who is as poor as I am to see people post about getting the 5090.

Maybe dont visit 5090 threads when it easily offends you?

The early overclocking reviews suggest the 5080 has a lot of headroom and will get close to the 4090. We'll see whether it's because reviewers got the good cards, but if that's the case Nvidia are leaving room for a TI and haven't pushed performance deliberately.
