I really wanted a 512bit-bussy GPU for a decade+ ... but perhaps never is just as good.

I don't know a lot about computers, but I do know a fair amount about bussy. $2000 for 512 is a steal!
Sure hope I could buy two packs of 512 and screw them down in SLI mode.

5000 series cards are made for idiots
Some people don't care about spending $2000 for whatever. I mean, I'm not one of those people but they probably exist.
My company could buy me this (for video editing), but I mostly need it for vram that should be cheap. I would like to be able to afford it without it doubling the price of my pc.
You can get an AMD Instinct MI60 with 32GB HBM2 VRAM on ebay for ~$400-$600

More money than sense, as they say.
Just sell drugs bro, I buy whatever the fuck I want from microcenter. Straight cash.
The 2k USD price is surely only in order to make the cheaper cards appear reasonably priced.
Why do people buy this stuff? It only takes like a year before it falls in price as the next one comes along. Gotta get that last 2FPS, I guess.

I bought my 4080 super recently and hopes it last me a good +12 years like my old card did. These prices are insane!
I'm rocking a 1660su until I literally can't anymore.
My old card literally died and was forced to get a new one.
Sleep tight, prince, my AMD R9 Fury x. You will be missed.
I'm still running a 1070ti, before that it was the R9 390 and R9 390X, both of them died though. One probably had it's voltage regulator fail and the other probably had it's chip die because it will boot windows but die as soon as it had to do any work
My question is will the 5080 perform half as fast as the 5090. Or is it going to be like the 4080 vs 4090 again where the 4080 was like 80% the price for 60% the performance?
You know it's the latter... and that even those numbers are probably optimistic.
I think that at higher resolutions (4k) there is gonna be a bit bigger difference than in gen 40 bcs of 256bit vs 384bit mem bussy in 4080 vs 4090 compared to 256bit vs 512bit in 5080 vs 5090.
That memory throughput & bandwidth might not get such a big bump in the next gen or two.
mem bussy
well there’s a mental image
They claim the 5070 gives 4090 performance for $549. that lower end of the 50 series line up looks nice.

Another billionaire out of touch with reality.
His reality is selling everything faster than he can produce it at any price or performance. Sooooo.
