![]() ![]() AMD is simply milking this grand opportunity. Nvidia's prices are ridiculous, so much so that they're foolish. That's why I don't think AMD's prices are ridiculous. But why do that when you can sell just as many units at $1000? AMD could theoretically sell the XTX at $800 and stomp the 4080 at $800 and still make a profit. The 4080's price is so absurd that they've given AMD larger profit margins, and that's victory in AMD's eyes. Nvidia has handed AMD victory on the plate. The way I see it, AMD doesn't need to charge less. If Nvidia were more reasonable with their price increases-if the 4080 16GB was $800 for example-AMD would have charged less. If I were AMD and I had a way to make larger profits while undercutting the competition significantly, I'd take that opportunity. I don't say that because I think the prices are good I just don't think they're ridiculous. I don't think they're that bad personally. Yeah, making out as if AMD is our knight in shining armor? Those prices too are rediculous. Right now, RTX 4080 price cuts feel like a matter of when, not if.ĭo you think an RTX 4080 price cut is coming? You can join the discussion on Nvidia's RTX 4080 stocks on the OC3D Forums. In time, Nvidia may have to consider a price cut for their RTX 4080 16GB graphics card, as GPUs on store shelves cannot generate revenue or profit. If you make sure you fully plug in your 12VHPWR connector, your GPU should be safe, but the scandal itself has pushed a lot of consumers away from Nvidia. Nvidia has released an official statement (read more here) about melting 12VHPWR cables, stating that they only know of around 50 affected graphics cards and that all affected GPUs appear to have had their 12VHPWR cables incorrectly inserted. With AMD's RX 7900 XTX being positioned as an RTX 4080 rival, it is easy to see why many PC gamers are waiting to see what AMD's RDNA 3 flagship has to offer, especially given the fact that it is much cheaper than Nvidia's rivalling graphics card.Īnother factor that has pushed gamers away from Nvidia's RTX 4080 is the ongoing 12VHPWR cable melting scandal, as most RTX 4080 graphics cards appear to use the new power connector. These graphics cards have their prices starting at $899.99, and $999.99 respectively, making both graphics cards significantly cheaper than Nvidia's RTX 4080. That said, with much of the world entering recession and with many consumers facing the "cost of living crisis", it is easy to see why the gaming masses are not eager to purchase Nvidia's RTX 4080.Īnother factor that has hampered Nvidia's RTX 4080 launch was the reveal of their RX 7900 XT and RX 7900 XTX, which are launching on December 13th. ![]() In our testing, Nvidia's RTX 4080 handily outperformed the company's RTX 3090 and RTX 3090 Ti, and that is Nvidia's justification for their £1250+ price tag. To put it another way, Nvidia's RTX 4080 is not priced like an 80-class Nvidia product. While Nvidia's RTX 4080 delivers tremendous performance gains over the company's RTX 3080, it is seen as a poor value product due to its high pricing. That's almost a 2x price increase for Nvidia's new 80-class graphics card, and it looks like Nvidia's customers are not happy about that. Nvidia launched their RTX 3080 10GB graphics card with an MSRP of £649 in the UK, and their new RTX 4080 launched with prices starting at £1,269. Nvidia's RTX 4090 sold out shortly after its launch, and so far, we haven't seen any RTX 4080 GPU become out of stock in the UK, with Nvidia's Founders Edition being the only exception that we could find. Consumers are saying no to Nvidia's RTX 4080 16GBĪlmost a week has passed since Nvidia launched their RTX 4080 graphics card, and unlike almost all recent GPU launches, stocks of Nvidia's latest graphics cards have remained on store shelves.
