Nvidia is mulling an earlier release of its next generation of consumer graphics cards, the RTX 5000 Blackwell line up, pushing it up to the fourth quarter...
Would it really be unexpected? They’ve blatantly shown how they want to milk us for every little, incremental improvement that barely qualifies as a sidegrade sometimes.
What sucks is the 4090 is an amazing GPU. It’s priced for how it performs (top dog bar none). It’s the lower end cards that are the problem. When a lower end card is a worse value per dollar than the flagship then something is horrendously wrong.
This. The 4090 absolutely crushes this generation of cards, hands down. And while irs expensive, it also feels like a “pay more get more” type deal. Even just dropping down to the 4080, it starts to raise questions about the price. It’s barely a step over the 3090 and 3080, but gets priced as if it’s hitting alongside the 4090
