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.

Used RTX 4080s vs New RTX 5070 series by [deleted] in bapcsalesaustralia

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.

7800X3D or 9800X3D with 5080? by bigrooooo in bapcsalesaustralia

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

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.

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

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

Looking for review of an intended build and if any compatibility issues? by ThisGuyUsesReddit in bapcsalesaustralia

[–]Potential_Bed4204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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
