    I remember the days when the x03 die were for x60 series GPU......
    And the second to top GPU was not cut in half from top dog.....

    Sad to see gaming will forever be second tier citizen going forward.

    I can't see me buying a new GPU for years, just nothing driving it, most games I play are strategy and sim racing, these were running just fine on my 1080Ti @4k, my 3080Ti monsters it, anything outside of this space that might need more power tend to be targeted to console and the experience on the consoles is a hassle free chill out one, a PS5 Pro is a more likely purchase for me.

    Still lets hope these do well, I need the pension fund bump :D

    To much money in server market now for the big chip to be anything but mental money. The only reason any go to consumer market at all is for marketing dick measuring.

    Yeah, I was going to sell my 3090 but I think I'll hold on to it. 5070 series could be stupid money too, if those halo product prices are even ballpark

    Think I'll be staying with my 4080, as the 5080 seems not to offer any more benefits.

    Yeah, they can make, say, £500 per chip for a mid-tier card or £10,000 per chip for a H100! Same fab, same wafer, and the H100 die isn't 20 times bigger! I'm actually surprised Nvidia bothers with upper mid, mid, and low tier at all at this stage! I doubt there'll be a 6060...

    I’m surprised they continue to bother with consumer GPUs at all. They’ve practically got the data centre market stitched up.

    He says, having just bought an Nvidia GPU because goblin brain want shiny shiny ray tracing… ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

    See, I don't think its that, they have other SKU's of quattro's they could put them in. I think its mind share. Which cards will the tech workers who select and utilise these quattro's be using in their own time? xx80 and xx90 cards! If they stopped them then those users would get annoyed and move away from spending millions on Nvidia. Its also a subtle entry level drug, yes have a xx80 series for a grand to get your model concepts working on, but as soon as you want to deploy and moneytise them its all of the expensive cards!

    If those rumors are true then Nvidia could basically launch a new in between variant like every 3 weeks, so get ready for the 5080 TI Super TI Max Cookie TI JensenNeedsANewJacket TI Super Chocolate Special Edition.

    I'll sit out this gen when it comes out as my 4080 can run my 32" 4k oled no problem.

    8 pin pcie connectors are rated for 150W
    8 pin EPS connectors are rated for 336W

    So they could have trivially ditched 6 pin pcie, 8 pin pcie and all 634543 beta versions of 12VHPWR in favour of one or two 8 pin EPS cables.

    There'd also be far fewer mistakes of people plugging in the wrong cable and setting things on fire. Could also use 4pin for entry/mid range GPUs.
