No, thanks. I don't like him. Well, at least, jusding from that pricey remark, he hasn't sold his sould yet.

Not worth watching. He's very chill about the situation. He's like, yea the 4080 12GB is more expensive but you get more performance... He did say it would have been nice to have the prices of 40 series be similar to 30 series but least you get more performance.

Like dude...

Greg Salazar has a nice video about the prices of those cards:

In short, he was relieved that the prices were not the "Doom and Gloom" $2000+ he was fearing, but he still knows that objectively speaking, they are far too expensive and it's a big price hike over last gen even just by going with the 12GB as a benchmark.

On a related note, I wonder what price the 4080Ti and 4090Ti will get next year, because I'm sure NVidia will launch those too later on.

If AMD is competitive in performance (which I expect, at least in rasterization; in Raytracing I expect somewhat better than Ampere but can't keep up with Ada) and keeps the 7800 cards under $800, then is see absolutely no reason to buy a 4080 unless the price drops a good $200. Want more power than those? Get a 4090 if you can afford one, but stay the hell out of the 4080 cards.
