AiB models will be no doubt.
Depending on how Nvidia prices the 5080. I might just drop the a 5070Ti and call it a day. 16GB kind of sucks when you're going high end and over 1K in price.

I’m just trying to downplay my FOMO so I don’t have to spend another 2k+

Well if people would shut up about it it’s good lol. Who am I kidding I’ll have one by march along with the switch 2 and a new CPU I’m sure!!How is that working for you?

Damn, $2000-2499 for the RTX5090 is totally insane, and let's not forget that Nvidia will probably prioritise AI centres, leading to product shortages and even higher prices.Some "leaks". It's your opinion trust/not trust
Of course, there will always be people willing to spend $3000 on a GPU alone. If I won the lottery, I would probably buy the RTX5090 as well, but even that card would not change my gaming experience much to be honest. The RTX5090 will be able to run more games without DLSS or FG, but these features work so well that I don't see them as compromises, and therefore I dont mind using them.

But that means Nvidia wins since they somehow convinced you to pay $1k for a 5070ti

It has always been a question of price, but it depends on the benefit. AMD's problem is that lately they were offering products with prices very close to Nvidia's but with products with fewer benefits.
AMD's most recent success was with Polaris, when they made mid-range cards with a lot of benefits (GPUs with 8 GB of VRAM) compared to Nvidias (970 had 3.5 GB VRAM) and were very cheap. So much so that you can find RX 580 being sold to this day on Aliexpress and they sell it.
Now AMD will try to repeat this mid-range card strategy, offering plenty of VRAM, AI upscaling, frame generator and good ray tracing performance. All it needs is a killer price.

Doubt it will cost that much, but you never know ;p I can see them charging $900 tops for that and perhaps $1100-1200 for the 5080. Still overpriced, but that's Nvidia for you.
If it performs like a 4090D to a 4090 in RT thats good enough for me.

1,499 USD before taxes for a 16GB GPU. Nice.

Yea, I might be too optimistic on 1st gen AI rendering..
AI texture could already be something quite nice. Microsoft, among others, had apparently an Xbox studio that was experimenting with it
Or AI skins on characters, effects, , etc
Why on Earth would you mess with game assets on the fly in GPU, instead of "pre-improving" all that "with AI" (or whatever other overhype bazinga is available) before shipping the game to the customers?

Legacy games, save GBs, save VRAM.

Welp, popular legacy games have very active modding communities that directly modify the assets (if one needs it).
I am not sure how more details and higher (same?) resolution assets would take less VRAM.
Seriously, does anyone know a single case, when AI is left doing scheisse unattended, without "this thingy might spout total nonsense, so cross-check and then cross-check it again please" footnote to it? Guaranteed enhancement, my south. Remember what happened with actual, cough, AI upscaling, the "super computer trained" DLSS 1.
I could imagine it doing fancy transformations just for fun. Perhaps I myself would play with it too.
But if I'd want something permanent, I'd rather modify assets.
No performance impact or strain on the hardware, do work once instead of every time.

4090 was around 2k for most of its life. At least where I live.
Oh wow, it's still >2k right now too:
1800-ish is the lowest it ever dropped.

In the EUR zone it was in the 1700s range most of the time with regular offers in the 1500s. The prices just made a big jump recently after they stopped production.
nah
Deals in the 1500s were quite common.
Also we are talking MSRP which is 1699.
