If only there were some good games to play with a shiny new graphics card. Got the 10 series so I could play R6 Siege and PUBG, the 20 to play Tarkov, 30 I've mostl replayed old games, Valheim, C2077, Elden Ring, I can't think of any reason I'd need or want a 40 series.

Yeah I can't either. I would have loved to play Elden Ring, but I can't get past the 60FPS lock and no widescreen support.

Get HWinfo, MSI afterburner, and Rivatuner, you can get onscreen data for CPU/GPU usage while gaming.
What I have for example, green is GPU (temp, usage, mem), red is CPU (temp, overall usage, highest core usage, mem, highest core clock), blue is water temp.

If someone makes a 32inch or smaller OLED or HDR1000 miniled that's actually good and is at least 180 hz, I will definitely buy one of these. If I see a widescreen OLED that I want, I will definitely buy one of these.
But I'm pretty much capped out on my current 240hz 1440p monitor. The most intense games I play run capped out at 138fps and everything older than that easily runs at 240hz.
But I also might buy it just because I'm stupid and want it.

Feeling really good about my $550 3080 10GB right now.
These prices are retarded and I'll have gamed for 9 months by the time the 4060 is released that comes close to the price/performance.
Oh, and no games will exist that make it necessary to upgrade at 1440p.
Get fucked Nvidia.

Man I've had my 6800xt a while and haven't had a single issue driver side in any game. I know that's just my experience, but have no trouble throwing my money towards AMD again next round. Anxious to see how they fair with ray tracing this series, and price as I have no doubt they'll be much more energy efficient. Would love Nvidia to fall flat on their faces this launch.

Sad thing is, idiots will buy it in droves. So they will just do it again for the next series.
I think I will wait, then just buy a cheaper 3080 or 3090, as I dont game in 4k or big monitors. Or see what AMD does. If they can come under such inflated prices and put out a GPU in the 500-700 range, since nivida is being an ass with the lower "4080" that is really a 4070, but we named it 4080 so we can charge more. Greedy fucks, but gamers will lap it up like lemmings.

my guess is that DLSS 3.0 can do 120 fps on 60 fps locked games because it's interpolating those extra frames

One thing that these newer GPUs might be good for is ML-based video enhancements. Unfortunately Microsoft barely supports any kind of media functionality on Windows these days, not even Dolby Vision thanks to movie industry BS, so movie watching is kinda blah on Windows, but one app i've played with can increase the frame rate of a video.

It uses the GPU to generate "in-between" frames so you can turn 24 fps anime, movie, tv whatever into something smoother. I bought it, but a 3090 isn't enough to run even double 1080P blu ray rips that well. It kinda works but gets choppy. Maybe a 4090 can do 1080p, maybe a 5090TI will be able to play LOTR 4K @ 48 or 72 FPS, making the battle scenes a lot better. What's interesting about this tech is that the quality of the interpolated frames is pretty much on par with the original so it's all gain and no downside as long as it can keep up with the bitrate.

Printing a shitload of money + shutting down production + mining + greed.
I hope demand has tanked enough that the prices have to come back down. I’m not even in the market for a card but I think it’s gotten out of hand and is bullshit.

You think Nvidia watched people pay 1800$ for 3080s during the Covid times and wasn't immediately having internal meetings about all the revenue they were leaving on the table?
Price is what the market will bear, which the last couple years have indicated is easily double what they sold the last generation for.
How much of that was propped up the crypto nonsense? Guess we'll see.
I don't think anyone that owns a 3xxx should even be considering this offering at these prices though
You wanna get real tinfoil about it: these prices are intentionally outlandish to drive further sales of the glut of 3xxx cards still sitting around now that crypto has imploded, and can later be revised down a bit once the back stock of 3xxx is gone. Your bleeding edge adopters will pay whatever the initial sticker is regardless.

That's what's happening right now. I would get a 6900xt, though, because they are the same price and better performance.
Nvidia are shameless fucks who I hope have to lie in the shit bed they have themselves created after the second Crypto boom/bust cycle they rode to billions in profit. Live by the sword, die on that sword. Calling the Legit 4070 "4080 12GB" is a shitheel maneuver that I hope costs them a ridiculous amount of credibility in the marketplace.
Go Team Red. Edit: Who I expect to not gouge as much but still raise prices, with the 7900XT coming in at 1100-1200 dollars and the 7800XT at 800-1000. I could be wrong but it would seem like them leaving money on the table. They could pick up vast amounts of market share if they stayed at a 0 dollar bump 999 for the 7900 and 699 for the 7800XT but I expect them to do a 100 dollar bump.
