TBH they already have. OCUK have an Asrock 6900XT for £649 with £100 of good games. It offers at least 85% of the raster performance as the 4080 at half the price. People have been lapping it up. Those drops only come when AMD say they can. So I would imagine they are going to get quite aggressive tbh. Jen is just doing exactly what he said he would do. Manipulating the market to clear the decks of 30 series cards. They delayed launch of the 40 series, and tbh? I doubt they even wanted to launch when they did, hence the vapor 4080 12gb. The prices are inflated so high to make people buy 30 series, unless of course any one wants to pay these hugely inflated prices. At which point I would say he will be rubbing his hands together. I would also imagine the line up will change dramatically when AMD launch. I doubt the prices will, as core wise he has left a lot of space in the lineup and there is still room at the top for ALL THE TIs. Any one who bought one now will feel violated in the next couple of months.
Decent performance uplift (in absolute terms), utterly moronic pricing.. Back to messing around with my ARC A750 and playing D2 at 50-60FPS on the SteamDeck because that it is actually interesting to me.
Well well well..... would you look at that, even the scalpers have figured out that the 4080 is stupid price, its been like 7 hours since launch and ebuyer, scan, overclockers etc still have plenty stock left.
Even the BBC are reporting on the flamey adaptor cables https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-63635379
Nah he just said what JohnnyGuru said over 12 days ago. Oh and class action lawsuit. https://www.classaction.org/media/genova-v-nvidia-corporation.pdf
The GN video is night and day more depth than that JG one. And they PROVE what the root cause is, he doesn't. He posits.
He said it was user error from not pushing it in far enough. Without all of the waffle, and the voice that makes me want to commit suicide. I am usually all for deep dives and a bit of science. But his videos on such subjects are so boring I could cry.
I won't. I just won't watch any of his super long and boring videos. Keeps banging on about the mats and etc too. Gets on my tits !
LMFAO. Just checked scalper prices. They have dropped a GRAND since yesterday. "And it was at that point they realised they had totally f-ed up"
I like their deep dives into case and PSU reviews. Lots of tech channels to go around I suppose. Dawid Does Tech does make me smile.
Phoronix has reviews too, with added penguin. https://www.phoronix.com/review/rx7900xt-rx7900xtx-linux
