I'm retarded?
I have a 4070ti but im getting massive FOMO's and I kinda want to bite on a 5080 due to price increases before its too late. 5090 is too much for my budget. Help

Report: Nvidia is cancelling RTX 50 Super Series because of AI demand

Get the 5080. It's a good card, and the somewhat limited VRAM issue is probably less of a issue when using DLSS.I have a 4070ti but im getting massive FOMO's and I kinda want to bite on a 5080 due to price increases before its too late. 5090 is too much for my budget. Help
I have a 5070 TI in my secondary PC in the living room, and haven't had any VRAM issues with it when playing on a 4K tv with dlss.

Nvidia definitely know what the super cards are. You aren't talking about 50 series Super are you?
I can guarantee you that they were pencilled for Q1 2026 and moved to Q3 2026. Then......
Nvidia will give the classic line of "You cant delay / cancel something that's never been announced"

I've been seeing the 5080 trade blows with the 4090 (4090 still overall better) and kicking AMDs offerings asses, but it's a case by case thing, so, yeah. The card is good, though. I was checking it out versus the 5090. I am probably just going to undervolt my own gpu. I want it to last. After the 5xxx series there is no telling wtf can happen next.

Of course I'm speculating. I'm not an insider. But with the way DRAM prices are going as well as Nvidias focus shifting, I wouldn't be surprised if the Super series is cancelled or priced higher than it should be, as well as the 6000 series gaming GPUs being pushed out. Or everything might be just fine, and nothing gets delayed or pushed out.

I've got the standard $999 PNY 5080, and I can't believe how cool and quiet this thing runs coming from a 3080. Granted, it's a big ass card, but the thermals and noise level has left me pleasantly surprised, and the card runs anything you can throw at it with zero issues. Anyone thinking about getting one at MSRP needs to pull the trigger soon.

Yeah, surprisingly from perspective of temperature, power draw and noise, my MSI base 5080 has done better than my EVGA FTW 3080Ti.
It's not bad at all. I didn't bother overclocking since performance is good without it and I don't want extra noise/heat.

Buy it, it's far more important to get rid of that FOMO, than to save your money.I have a 4070ti but im getting massive FOMO's and I kinda want to bite on a 5080 due to price increases before its too late. 5090 is too much for my budget. Help

For sure! I had an EVGA 3080 FTW3. I think those cards had a bit higher TGP from the reference design though, so that may explain our higher thermals. Either way, the new cooling system they devised works damn well for how much power these things can suck down.

Only few games can allocate more than 16GB VRAM at 4K native but right now it's not an issue from practical point of view. For example Alan Wake 2. My RTX4080S is too slow to run this game at 4K native with PT, and when you turn on DLSS Balance to get playable framerate VRAM allocation drops to 10-12GB.
Indiana Jones with PT and Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 (with DLC texture pack) are the only games that were VRAM-limited on my RTX 4080 Super at 4K, even with DLSS. I had to set the textures to 'Ultra' in these games to stay within the VRAM budget, but I couldn't see any difference in texture resolution or detail. Therefore, I can't say that having 16 GB of VRAM affected my experience with these two games. The vast majority of 4K games use 9–12 GB of VRAM on my card, so I'm not worried about VRAM allocation for now.
However, I know that it's only a matter of time before 16 GB of VRAM will no longer be sufficient and will cause problems. PS6/Next Xbox ports will surely increase VRAM requirements significantly making me want to replace my current RTX 4080 Super with something better (maybe RTX 6080).

It worked out. The card was unharmed, and got another PSU.

What a rollercoaster, I have had a call this morning where the Super cards might not be cancelled and might be coming again later in the year!

Maybe anti-Super versions with reduced memory?

And charge more for the privilege of buying one!

Ironically it might be easier to get the memory fabs to move to 3 GB chips faster.
You won't like the price tho.

Who knows, I had it on good advice that they were cancelled and no product launches this year, but now they seem to be reversing course from that or something was lost in the weeds. Thats why rumours can change I guess.

It's always possible that they will just increase clocks and call it a day (keeping memory system the same), nothing new in GPU world. Super series with (slightly) more power and even higher prices!

That would be my hope. If they want to continue selling games, they won't have any other choice.
It's not that videogames need to look any better. And if they optimize them properly, there should be some headroom to do so anyway.

Which is exactly why I've said that even Nvidia is unlikely to know their plans for _a refresh_ (which is very easy to put into production) that far in advance.

later...this year? as in 2025? or 2026? late 2026 makes absolutely no sense if we go by history. start of 2027 aka january would be 6k series, makes no sense to launch late 2026 super series when most ppl are just going to wait a few months.

There's zero chance of them showing up in 2025 at this point, so you'd assume 2026.
That probably means we aren't seeing the 6000 series until mid/late 2027, which is a good thing as far as I'm concerned.

I know nvidia puts gamers on the last place, but I have massive doubts they wouldnt want to milk their gaming consumers with average 6k series as soon as possible.

That would be a very safe assumption to make.

Later in 2025, Might be announced at CES as originally planned now. I think NVIDIA might need some positive news in the market for when all the shit hits the fan and its all over mainstream media / news.
Maybe they will try and say - "What do you mean there is an issue with commercial memory, we are launching super cards this year....the market is fine"
- AIB's can source the memory themselves and we wont supply it!!!!!
Everything is fine nothing to see here!
The Cockatrice
I'm retarded?
Yeah Im still waiting for CES until I decide to upgrade or wait.

I will say that NVIDIA has said that price increases will be coming. AMD announced 20% uplift last week. The last I heard was around Boxing day / New years for NVIDIA. Just what Ive heard. Hope it helps in some way. dunno.

This for real? You work in the business? Very interesting and suprising (and cool) if true!

wouldnt be surprised if 6000 series is cancelled at this point
