Nvidia "prepping" the market for our wonderful new Blackwell prices!
- Somewhere in the background you hear the sound of Jensen spitting into his palm in preparation.
I guess once my 2080 croaks I'll need to find a new hobby. I can't justify spending double my monthly income on a "mid range" videocard. Not in the least because I need to eat and heat my home.
Then again, any 50xx could probably be used as a space heater...
- A second hand dGPUs could be an option, or going with Intel dGPUs.
  2080 should still be OK for FHD gaming.
- Playing games on ultra will heat your home!
- This might not be what you want to hear, but console gaming. For the price of a GPU you can get a console and load up on games.
  
  A PS5 Pro costs like 800€ and is significantly slower, more restricted, and can't be upgraded without shelling out a similar (and rising) amount of money for another console.
Blackwell prices + this stupid fuckin tariff proposal = bad time for American gamers
Here's to hoping AMD can wow us...
- Here’s to hoping AMD can wow us…
  Even if they have a compelling offering (which is a big if), it will likely be $30 - $50 cheaper (at most) than comparable Nvidia SKUs.
  No way will they take a hit on margins, especially when the real money is in corporate GPUs.
- AMD just announced that they're not going to focus on high end cards anymore. So, probably no wowing coming from them.
