The first salvo of RTX 50 series GPU will arrive in January, with pricing starting at $549 for the RTX 5070 and topping out at an eye-watering $1,999 for the flagship RTX 5090. In between those are the $749 RTX 5070 Ti and $999 RTX 5080. Laptop variants of the desktop GPUs will follow in March, with pricing there starting at $1,299 for 5070-equipped PCs.

      No one should, video graphics haven’t progressed that far. Only the lack of optimisation has.

        You’re missing a major audience willing to pay $2k for these cards, people wanting to run large AI language models locally.

          I’m willing, but unable :'(

          Someday I’ll be able to run something cool like that Deepseek v3 model or something. Probably when they figure out how to run them well in regular RAM, I have a shit ton of that at my disposal. Stupid VRAM. (Maybe they’ll start coming out with GPUs with slotted VRAM lol)

      I’m staying on 1440p deliberately. My 3080 is still perfectly fine for a few more years, at least current console gen.

        You’re not wrong. I just recently upgraded my whole machine going from a 3090 to a 4090 on 1440p and basically can’t tell the difference.
