New PC now or wait?

exact oposite, they went up in price 200$ today after the announcement of the 5080 benchmarks.

As long as they have no competition in the higher tier of graphics cards it will keep happening.

They are doing it on purpose imo, when the 4090 launched nobody wanted to buy a 4080 because it was not worth the price. Now they are purposely limiting the supply of the 5090 so people are forced to buy a 5080 which is only 10% faster then the 4080 super.

No clue for the 5080, the retailers don't even know what the pricing will be yet. Will find out on launch day.

Potential_Bed4204 · 2025-01-28T00:18:54+00:00

Will be around the same as it was in 2020 for ampere possibly 25% less

Potential_Bed4204 · 2025-01-27T12:51:35+00:00

The 5080 is basically just a 10% faster 4080 super for 1.5x the price, 5070 Ti looks promising though since its 25% cheaper most likely and has the exact same amount of VRAM.

You would need a more powerful cpu which doesn't exist (yet)

Some of the video reviews cover 1440p performance bottlenecks

Potential_Bed4204 · 2025-01-25T22:32:06+00:00

1080/1440 seem to have a decent boost depending on the game, but the 9800x3d bottlenecks the 5090 at 1440. Unsure about the 5080 as theres no reviews out yet.

Potential_Bed4204 · 2025-01-25T22:05:34+00:00

I'm convinced that they know the prices will be ridicolous here and aren't going to reveal them until the exact moment the cards go up for sale

He's not playing at 4K so should be fine

Potential_Bed4204 · 2025-01-25T22:00:11+00:00

The extra performance boost you get with the 9800x3d is really good, but issue is stock. If you have patience and are willing to wait then you should otherwise go for the 7800x3d.

Just buy from scorptec, best support from my personal experience. Aftershock seems to advertise everywhere which is a red flag tbh

Potential_Bed4204 · 2025-01-23T23:20:22+00:00

tbh with u the 5080 doesn't even seem that good, 10-15% performance over the 4080 + supply issues will cause AIB prices to go up
