The 12gb 4080 is a different die from the 16gb version - it's actually just what should have been the 4070 with an up-badge price tag on it.
So we already have the "4070" and it's 900$ now.

Im sure there will be a ton of that shit in the opening months but I think that without the mining boogeyman in the background this time buying up millions of units things will settle more quickly this time around? I mean who knows.

Remember when Nvidia releaesd reduced hash rate cards and soon after the miners got drivers that allowed them to mine on those cards. Rumor was the drivers came from Nvidia or someone(s) at Nvidia. Now they act like they didn't see the cliff coming with the etherium change.

I mean yes, Nvidia was definitely wholesaling cards to mining firms, why wouldn't they?
I don't expect this time around to be nearly as bad though without the very specific Covid fuckery with the actual fab processes.
Combined with crypto being in the toilet and the price of these things already being sky high I would imagine anyone that wants one will get one relatively painlessly.

Yeah TBH Im pretty happy with my 3070 and my 166hz screen I have right now. Most if not all the games I run on this system are upwars of 150+frames. Maybe in the future when I change my screen and go to something like 4K? But even then it would have to be something big because my eyes are not the spring chickens they once were lol.

My monitor is 5120x1440 @240Hz with a 3080ti. I'm usually pulling about 120FPS in any action games. I'd love to go close to 240 FPS. Though I am wondering if my 5800x is holding me back.
But seriously that's a luxury, and you're correct. I really don't need the damn card. Just want. Pockets bigger than brain, and all that.

I kind of want to see what AMD offers. Might jump ship next round.

My kid bought himself a 6800xt and seems pretty happy with it. He did have some driver issues at first but I think that was a ID10T error on his part when he switched from Nvidia to AMD he probabaly didnt clean his shit properly. I told him to do so and its been running great ever since on all his games he plays.

On paper it sounds so nice to upgrade, but I'm in the same boat where playing all my games in maxed 4k nothing dips below 60FPS or get capped at 120FPS on the OLED anyway so what is the point. 95% of the games released today can be played on a TI-86 with their retro/pixel/cartoony graphics and the other 5% look super sweet, but still don't push any major boundaries. Anyone still chilling on a 1/2 series though is going to be in for a treat though if they make that 4k leap.
Where is our Crysis in the present day? I would dumpster 5 figures on a PC to play nothing but photo-realistic masterpieces.
