RTX 40 Series is here!

The exciting stuff first:

In terms of pricing for the UK for the 4080:

4090 will be £1679 MSRP

Now some slightly less interesting stuff about DLSS, RT Performance and Power Efficiency:

Better performance? Yes. Lower price? No. 3080 had a launch price of $699 I recall. Looks like a higher entry point if someone is thinking of moving to AM5 with higher DDR5, motherboard and GPU prices....

Yeah, it's not good, I think I'll be skipping nvidia with this build, at least this GPU refresh.

We'll see what AMD have up their sleeves.

NVidia have been rather brazen in their dodgy tactics since the start of the pandemic (of course, if not before).

Something that I find rather infuriating is that the difference between the two 4080 models is more than just the VRAM. I won't dive into full specs but for reference the 16GB variant has 9728 CUDA cores, while the 12GB variant has 7680, which is over 20% fewer. For all intents and purposes the 4080 12GB is a 4070 with a changed nametag to justify charging more. When you consider that the MSRP from generations has gone from £469 for the 3070 to over double that at £949 for the 3080 12GB that is hard to ignore, even if (and we won't know for sure until third party reviews come out) we get 2x gaming performance. I hope that prices can fall below MSRP sooner rather than later, and I also hope that AMD gets a head start on releasing some reasonably priced mid range 7000 GPUs, and hopefully don't take the same approach that Nvidia are currently taking.

Some articles talk about NVidia having a glut of 30 series GPU chips, so the mid tier 40 series might not come out until Q2 2023....

I think it's going to be a very interesting few months to see where prices go, so many different factors at play

This has been mainly reported by people like Jayz who have heavily promoted (wrongly) for people to pay through the nose for 3000 series GPU's. We all knew that Jay was heavily in EVGA's pockets and trying to move dead stock for them.

NVidia can't afford to do this, if they do, they'll lose the entire generation, plus significant brand loyalty to AMD. I've seen a couple of video's where they say that NVidia don't see AMD as a thread, I guarantee this is not correct, NVidia will be extremely focussed on AMD's motives as this is the first generation where AMD are including Hardware Ray Tracing cores which is what was likely keeping them behind in performance from previous gens.

I reckon they'll release down to the 4080 this year and then the rest next year as initially planned. But they'll trickle release them to try to maintain high prices and clear the 3000 stocks (this is market manipulation).

The fact that Fidelity FX is not only being used on older AMD cards but also able to use it on Nvidia cards with Nvidia saying DLS3 will not work on 30xx series cards kind of has me leaning towards AMD in future

They just seem to have their priorities in the right place for me as a consumer

I honestly couldn't give less of a crap about Ray Tracing, it just doesn't look anywhere near impressive enough to first off even notice but the frame rate hit is just astronomical so I only care about DLSS as that's genuinely impressive but AMD seem to be doing something similar in a much better way in my opinion
