[u/XiTRAiN]

"That'll be 4000$."

[u/chemist_slime → u/XiTRAiN]

MSRP $1,499, actual price, 4k+

[u/Makers7886 → u/chemist_slime]

Due to unusual demand we shall have a contest to determine who is eligible to purchase. The program will be called "The Hunger Games".

[u/fallingdowndizzyvr → u/chemist_slime]

As long as the MSRP is that, you will have a chance to get it for that. Remember some vendors will sell it for MSRP. Amongst them Nvidia itself. Sure, just like with the 5090, you will have to sign up and wait for your chance in line. But that's how many people got their 5090s for MSRP well after the price had already skyrocketed.

[u/siete82 → u/XiTRAiN]

And 5000€ in Europe of course

[u/Alternative-Suit5541 → u/XiTRAiN]

Too low. 5600 at least

[u/ReadyAimTranspire → u/Alternative-Suit5541]

Promo price for Q1 - $5080

[u/Eelroots → u/ReadyAimTranspire]

Hyronical but not too much.

[u/twice_paramount832 → u/XiTRAiN]

Only realistically obtainable via Nvidia store with alerts. Otherwise forget about it.

[u/Emergency-Barber-431 → u/twice_paramount832]

You mean, with bots

[u/twice_paramount832 → u/Emergency-Barber-431]

Discord alerts, yes.

[u/Slaghton → u/XiTRAiN]

If used 3090's are going for $1500, and used 4090's around $3000+ then around $4000 seems pretty accurate :\.

[u/IntelArtiGen → u/XiTRAiN]

Either it's sold out or it's that price.

[u/RogerRamjet999 → u/XiTRAiN]

Don't forget the tax, in most parts of the US that'll be an extra $400.

[u/Mackendy-Duboi → u/XiTRAiN]

and thats being optimistic lol

[u/FuckedUpPerson559]

This is going to be such a nightmare.

DO NOT sell your 5080 16GB for this one, AI company are going to buy every single 24gb card they can, the price is going to be at least 3-4k and it WILL go up, the black market is going to go crazy over this, it's not even about the prices of a 5080 anymore, it's what's inside, it might even make the 16GB 5080 price go even higher

If you can get your hands on one cool, but don't just expect to order one and receive it one week later lol.

Imagine if the cable is still shitty...

[u/Nimbus420i → u/FuckedUpPerson559]

12V HPWR connector is a way to enforce planned obsolescence by leather jacket. If GPUs don’t go kaput people won’t be forced to pay exorbitant money for new ones. Number won’t go up, new leather jackets won’t be bought.

[u/sleight42 → u/FuckedUpPerson559]

I've been avoiding it but I'm increasingly tempted to buy a mining frame, a mobo with 7-8x PCIe 16x slots, and a fuck ton of V100s because fuck all of this.

[u/twice_paramount832 → u/FuckedUpPerson559]

Only obtainable from Nvidia store and via alerts. Otherwise you will pay 2X MSRP.

[u/MiellatheRebel → u/FuckedUpPerson559]

bot

[u/FuckedUpPerson559 → u/MiellatheRebel]

if you cannot recognize a bot, you should not try to do so and restrain yourself from commenting

[u/MiellatheRebel → u/FuckedUpPerson559]

Your comment was definitely written by an llm and your account is 8 days old. Atleast try to be convincing on your next attempt!

[u/FuckedUpPerson559 → u/MiellatheRebel]

my english is bad enough for my comment to not have been written by a LLM, my account is 8 days old because weird guys like you absolutely love to check every single account they do not agree with.

it's embarassing, i'm just going to block you.

[u/LegacyRemaster]

It will probably cost as much as my RTX 6000 did last year.

[u/GestureArtist → u/LegacyRemaster]

my RTX Pro 6000 costs 2X what it cost last year.

Nvidia is just selling less and less compute for the dollar.

[u/RogerRamjet999 → u/LegacyRemaster]

Look on the bright side, you can now sell your RTX 6000 and buy 2 of these. Yay???

[u/a_beautiful_rhind]

Cool way to get blackwell.. if it was cheap. It won't be.

[u/Happy-Personality720]

Gaming hardware is regressing

[u/N34257]

And, when it launches, it'll be more expensive than the current 5090.

Also, what happened to the 5090 SE?

[u/throw_in_the_towel]

Ah yes, and then they should release a 5070 18gb and 5060 ti 24gb to drive us all insane.

[u/HighSeasArchivist]

$1500 I'll buy one until the 6090s hit. $2k I'll stick with my 5070 Ti.

[u/socialjusticeinme → u/HighSeasArchivist]

I wouldn’t count on the 6090 being a thing when you can take the same chip, slam some more ram on it, then sell it as a “pro” line for pretty much anything you want. My bet is we are going back to the days where the “80” chips were the top for consumers and occasionally someone would buy a Titan GPU to show off how rich they were - this was the case up until the 3090 was released.

The even more doomer/cynical side of me is thinking Nvidia and AMD are done with dedicated consumer GPUs outside of SoC designs. They want everyone paying a meter in the cloud and their neural rendering crap pushing it from the data centers so they generate value while not churning ai tokens.

[u/HighSeasArchivist → u/socialjusticeinme]

Either way. I have dual R9700s now, so whatever is the top next round is what it will be. By the time they come out the Big AI guys will either be past the breaking point, or broke.

[u/olearyboy]

[u/betam4x]

This may be a horrible take, however I think this is a poor attempt by NVIDIA to better segment gaming and AI workloads, rather than having gaming GPUs get swallowed by AI folks. They want AI folks buying the RTX Pro 6000 series.

It won’t work, of course, unless they limit the type of workloads the gaming cards can run.

[u/MichiruMatsushima → u/betam4x]

attempt by NVIDIA to better segment gaming and AI workloads

It's nowhere near that innocent.

Look at what they did with the Spark thing. 128GB --> f.u. level of pricing, 64GB --> offering you less memory for the price of a bigger 128GB package.

So, 5090 --> piss off, no more of that stuff for you (you're too poor to buy it anyway).

5080 24G --> gonna cost as 5090 before the recent $7k jump, so likely $2000 MSRP with the real prices being somewhere around $2500 - 3000.

[u/SexyAlienHotTubWater → u/betam4x]

That's not what's happening. The memory manufacturers have discontinued 2GB GDDR modules, so they're having to upgrade to 3GB in order to keep producing the same GPU.

[u/wolvAUS → u/SexyAlienHotTubWater]

Aww poor Nvidia finally has to start offering more vram

[u/SunnasArmpit → u/SexyAlienHotTubWater]

so why did they increase it from 16 to 24 couldnt they do 18gb then 6x3gb

[u/betam4x → u/SexyAlienHotTubWater]

Except that they are discontinuing the 5090 for the same reason, while not discontinuing the RTX Pro 6000.

[u/mindwip → u/betam4x]

I thought same thing, even a 5090 with 24gb would be good for gamers. But 5080 24gb i guess.

[u/CCloak → u/mindwip]

5090 24GB exists already, it was 5090dv2 exclusively for China, 384bit 24GB instead of 512bit 32GB, gaming performance is almost identical.

[u/KitaiSuru → u/betam4x]

The 6000 use the better-binned GB202 chip than the 5090.

[u/scientiaetlabor]

Annnd smaller AI companies will order them by the pallet if they're viable products that are cheaper than what's commercially available for decent performance.

[u/Need_For_Speed73]

Price actually depends on VRAM size: ATM a 5080 32GB would cost much more than a 5090 16GB (while in the past it was, obviously, the opposite).

[u/MrHumanist]

Data centers will buy in bulk. The consumer market price will be heavily inflated.

[u/ZarBandit]

Buying a 5090 6 months ago feels a little less stupid now than it did at the time.

[u/sleight42]

Give us 5080 32GB and we'll talk

[u/Area51-Escapee → u/sleight42]

I'm with you. Why is everyone so excited? It's only 24 GB. Now 48 would be a real game changer. Everyone will say I'm crazy so ok ok let's settle for 32.

[u/sleight42 → u/Area51-Escapee]

Give me all of the vram. At 48, I'd take 2. But it'll never happen. Or maybe it will and they'll street for 7k like the 6000 pro did a year or two ago.

All of us here just want a frontier - 1 to 2 year model to be able to run at home across a few different parallel requests....

[u/muminisko → u/Area51-Escapee]

On 32GB you can run capable local models. They don’t like it :)

[u/GoodSamaritan333]

So...there is the long ago promised 5070 Ti Super with 24 GB of VRAM.

[u/Eastern-Ingenuity353]

$5090 

[u/Eastern-Ingenuity353]

Isn’t that pretty much the laptop 5090?

[u/Gloomy_Efficiency680 → u/Eastern-Ingenuity353]

No, 5090 laptop raw performance is weaker than 5070Ti 10%, so weaker than 5080 around 25%

[u/q-admin007]

80% of the product will end up in China. Mark my words.

[u/_Valdez]

$8000 min if you can get one

[u/Mediocre_Safety5743]

I think 24GB would probably be enough for a lot of the local models I want to try. It really just depends on the price I think.

[u/sleight42]

Can we "just" backport CUDA13 drivers for unsupported chipsets? Then we buy all of the V100s in the world (and watch the price go up on those too)

This is starting to look like a world where new cars are so expensive that non-rich would-be owners are resurrecting carburetor-era cars just to be able to drive.

[u/TooSlow79]

*ddr3

[u/Ka-Chow-mf]

Wouldn't the ai bros scoop these as well given how much vram they have?

[u/Green-Ad-3964]

Next top end rubin based hw will be an 80 class gpu at a price of a 90 class or more. Granted. End of games for gamers.

[u/CiobanuXashi]

The funniest part is board partners still waiting for details. The card's over a year out and even the people who have to build it are working from the same rumour we are.

[u/Ok_Warning2146]

I think there will be a 6080 32gb but no 6090

[u/thestillwind]

So it was not a rumour, it was true. Fuck man…

[u/teressapanic]

shrinkflation

[u/Alifelifts]

Will prices of used 4090s come down after such release?

[u/alpacadaver → u/Alifelifts]

Why would they? Will local models get worse next year? You and 100 million people are the demand, the supply is essentially static.

[u/CalligrapherFar7833 → u/Alifelifts]

No because they use the 4090 to make them into 4090 48gb

[u/Guinness]

Why can't they release different versions with different amounts of VRAM? Give consumers a choice, a 5080 with 64 gigs of VRAM would be nice.

[u/Sporebattyl → u/Guinness]

$$$

[u/ColoredTriangles → u/Guinness]

They call it rtx pro 5000 48/72 GB. They don't have a 64GB.

[u/vulcan4d]

Oh I have no doubt it is coming but at an absurd cost. Also it should be the 6080 24GB. Nvidia is doing Nvidia things.

[u/roculus]

How to convince the Nvidia shareholders: Why sell 5090's when we can discontinue those and sell 5080's with 8GB less VRAM for the same price as the 5090 because it will still be the best GPU for AI available under $16K?

Nvidia doesn't care about the gamers/local AI. They want to maximize profit with zero competition. Greed.

[u/LeaveDisastrous8030]

those delays in specs make it tough to plan upgrades for smoother local roleplay sessions.

[u/AnonsAnonAnonagain]

This pisses me off. It’s going to devalue my existing 5080 (16GB)

[u/Keesual → u/AnonsAnonAnonagain]

What kind of GPU NIMBYism is this lmao

[u/FullstackSensei → u/AnonsAnonAnonagain]

As things have been through history. Don't worry, the way things are going your 5080 might end up even more expensive than it is now

[u/ggadget6 → u/AnonsAnonAnonagain]

Then sell it now. GPUs are not supposed to be appreciating assets

[u/AnonsAnonAnonagain → u/ggadget6]

THANK YOU, WARREN BUFFETT. I HAD NO IDEA.

[u/wolvAUS → u/AnonsAnonAnonagain]

Haha sucks to be you

[u/thestillwind → u/AnonsAnonAnonagain]

Should’ve bought a 5070ti instead

[u/AnonsAnonAnonagain → u/thestillwind]

I only like Founders cards.

[u/Educational-Region98 → u/AnonsAnonAnonagain]

How will it devalue your 5080... it's basically the flagship model now without the 5090 in production and still has #2 when the new card comes out. If anything, it will be closer to the 5080 24gb due to having the same compute.

[u/AnonsAnonAnonagain → u/Educational-Region98]

a 16GB 5080 will be worth less than a 24GB 5080.
not just price wise, but market perception. it will be undesirable

[u/Educational-Region98 → u/AnonsAnonAnonagain]

You're assuming that the 5080 24gb won't be sold out like the 5090

[u/q-admin007 → u/AnonsAnonAnonagain]

But the 16GB 5080 will be available at least. The 24GB 5080 will simply not be available. What will be available will be bought by smaller KI players or move to China (via Singapore or Malaysia).

[u/AnonsAnonAnonagain → u/q-admin007]

AFAIK. The 16Gb 5080 and 32Gb 5090 will be discontinued

[u/Sudden-Guide → u/AnonsAnonAnonagain]

Then you could get the PCB of 24GB one for cheap, solder your core + additional memory and... Profit! ;)
