Should rename their slogan to "beyond affordable". kek at their 4090 price point, I'm sure the 4080 and 70 models are also going to be close to the 1k range as well, so we're pretty much going back to being fucked again. Also fuck'em for making DLSS 3.0 exclusive to the new line, we've fucking seen this before, that they can make some of their tech non exclusive, they just know that the scalper honeymoon is over and that we have to buy if we wanna play, this is just greed in it's near purest form from nvidia. AMD really eneds to fucking hit a home run, because I'm getting tired of nvidia just getting away with this shit every gen. |
Pretty much. Nvidia became the scalper this time around. The Ampere launch was mindblowing when they announced the prices but this time though... Oh Boy...
I think I can get why they made DLSS 3.0 Lovelace exclusive. I think it's a purely a hardware limitation considering they are now going to start inserting frames instead of just pixels. So the computational performance uplift of Tensor cores is certainly needed and Ampere has 320 vs 1400 on Lovelace. Doesn't mean it's a good thing though.
And yea, this makes me worried about RDNA 3 because we know Nvidia won't price it like this unless either they are going very cocky or they know RDNA 3 won't perform as good. I think RDNA 3's Raster performance will continue to be competitive but Ray Tracing and DLSS will be lightyears ahead with Lovelace. Sucks all around though because that pricing is hard to swallow for 99% of the people. And they may as well have invited Don Mattrick when they showed off that Ampere pricing lmao. They may as well have said, "oh you can't afford Lovelace? Buy Ampere instead!"
