At 10% better performance its not even a true 4080 Super, Ngreedia rlly want ppl to shell out thousands if they want more. Anyways the 4080 performance is ok for current gen games but t isn't worth $1000 and never was IMO. Team AMD on the other side of the ring will unleash a 4080 lvl performer for anything between $500 and $700, that's way more acceptable

Why would you still hope for more gaming performance?

5090 is about 1.3 * 4090 when looking at cores etc and performs just like that in gaming: 25 to 30% better.

I don’t see any reason why a 5080 that’s about 1.1 * 4080 would perform more than 10% better in gaming at the most.

Maybe ok if we are seeing 4-5x FPS jumps with MFR and DLSS4 as we see with the 5090 in 4K w/RT. Of course, we wouldn't want to see the same with the 4080 and the backwards compatibility (DLSS4) nVidia has been talking about.

Steve at hardware unboxed alreay teased the 5080 and 5070's will be much weaker upgrades than 5090, so in other words pitiful. Alas, for users Nvidia did basically no architectural improvements so IPC is not better. 5090 is only better due to brute force, 33% more cores for only 27% average better performance and 25% price rise, that's the very definition of stagnation. 5080 will be even worse.

Discouraging news to say the least. Being that I will be upgrading from a 1080, then the 5080 still makes sense. But if I already had a 4080? No way. I'd even buy a 4080 even now if the prices hadn't gotten stupid again.

Yeah I’m at a 980ti and looking to do a new build, but this 50 series is totally underwhelming.

I’ll probably get 9070XT if that’s any good or a 5090 so I won’t have to buy another gpu for a good long while. Don’t really want to encourage nvidia going this direction though, so I’ll probably go AMD.

Funny how AMD can release the 7800XT, which was no better than the 6800XT, for the same price and get away with it just fine, but any Nvidia card that releases for the same price, or lower, as the predecessor, but doesn't offer very significant upgrades, is garbage and not worth the money. Are people seriously this blind to their own bias? And the 5070 launches at a lower price than the predecessor, too...

7800XT wasn’t a good deal either although it was priced lower than 6800xt here in Europe at least.

Both companies have had generations of cards that were good and that were meh, no need to be so upset.

The 30 and 40 series were really good for team green: a 3080 was way faster than a 2080 and a 4080 easily beats a 3080. I don’t see a 5080 doing a lot better that a 4080 though, and i would really like to.

If a 9070 won’t be a lot better than 7700 than AMD isn’t getting my money either.

I just like to see a new architecture bring real benefit so I can buy a better GPU for the same price or a cheaper gpu with the same performance. Sorry if I can’t get excited about a new generation with the same performance per euro from either AMD or nvidia.

Given the rising prices of the new versions, only crazy fanatics will buy them.

You are correct, but that wasn't the point. The point is that some people here, in this forum, still considered the 7800XT an upgrade over the 6800XT, despite both having the same performance, and switched from the latter to rhe former. The card also wasn't ridiculed that much and the main argument for the 6800XT was the price.

You are free to be excited or not, and in all honesty, I won't upgrade either, and will only recommend the new cards to people who really need a new card. I rarely do generational upgrades, with a single exception, I tend to skip a generation at minimum, often two or three. My interest in the new cards is mildly academic at best. I'm more excited to get most of DLSS 4 on my 4070Ti than I am about the thought of getting a 5000 series card. And I'm not convinced yet that 9070XT will be a "4080 performer" as some here predict, either; that one benchmark war extremely inconclusive, and to me the card didn't look impressive at all. I want to see 3rd party reviews of all cards before final judgement. It's people's behavior that I criticize.

People coming to this forum I suspect are not surprised. The vast majority of customers buy stuff without any technical knowledge of what they buy.

They will then sit and look at their full screen FPS counter celebrating all the dlss4 fake frame that are being generated.

Too many people are stupid. The manufactures of snack food put "new improved for same price" on the bag but what they really did was reduce the amount of stuff in the bag and redesign it to look bigger. Why should we expect different from video card manufactures....at least there is some actual improvement even though if it has good "value" is questionable.

I am a LITTLE BIT surprised, but only because for the past year and a half or longer we have had leakers like Mooreslawisdead and Redgamingtech hyping up Blackwell to be the biggest leap forward in GPUs for years, and claiming the 40-series was just filler, then it arrives and the only improvements we are getting seem to be from a higher TDP and the inherit speed improvements that came with moving from GDDR6X to GDDR7 (the benchmarks being +20-30% better lines up with GDDR7 being +30% faster than GDDR6x).

I stopped watching those kind of channels a while ago due to the sensationalism, but I was still expecting Blackwell to have some IPC improvements, instead it seems the only real improvements are better memory chips and a new, even more exclusive version of frame generation (which also seems to have massive latency problems according to Hardware Unboxed).
I was worried that I would retroactively feel like an idiot for upgrading my ageing 1070 to a 4070 super last January, but based on what we've seen from the 5080 and 5090, I don't feel like I'm going to be missing out on much.

 

[Jabberwocky79]

At this point, my main dilemma is whether to buy a new 5080 or a used 4090. And that's assuming that the used 4090 prices come down to reasonable level, which in my mind would be the same or cheaper than a brand new 5080. That remains to be seen.
