I am a time traveler i came back and "[Official] NVIDIA RTX 4080 16GB NOwner's Club" 😉

 

Bump, it's out!

I don't think the price is terrible, I expected it to be 20% faster, but with lower power consumption (30W) and memory bandwidth constrained, it's still 40% faster than a 3090. Remember that a 3080 at $699 was only 20% faster than a 2080 Ti, when you compared them both overclocked. Out of box the 4080 is 40% faster than a 3090, that's a significant improvement, hence why I think the price is justified.. well, in a perfect world the 3080 should've been like $499 (2080 Ti was overpriced at $999-1199) and the 4080 should be.. maybe at most $999. I think the card (4080) is definitely worthy of a $899 MSRP tag, considering the new Radeon RX cards has that same price ($899-999). I will very likely get one when I can find one for $899-999 used, open box or on sale, in the meantime I might look for a used 3090. I'm in no rush as I'm still on 1440p, waiting for 32" 4K 165Hz (or above) OLED.

 

I would be interesting to see how AMD's 7900XTX stacks up against this.

 

And sold out.

 

Cheapest in NZ is the MSI Ventus at $1837 USD.... Will wait for the 7900xtx and decide if I wait for price drops in the new year or just get 7900

 

Well consumers have spoken again and the message with the 4090 and now the 4080 is that Nvidia is not charging enough for these GPUs.

 

And giving them too much for it to boot.

 

lol I thought Evga said they were done with GPUs? Changed their mind I see.

 

This card is a tough sell at the current price. Will be interesting to see the OC's people can squeeze out of them with their massive coolers though.

 

How is it a tough sell? Everything, even the AIB cards priced at $1,550, sold out in an hour.

 

I was gonna get a 4080 to upgrade from my 2080 ti but there way too expansive in Australia. Most of the card are still in stock at all our stores.

 

This topic looks so empty....

 

got lucky and grabbed a MSI gaming X from newegg for 1300. I get it later today and I'll post my benchmarks with a 5.2 12900k DDR5 6600

 

It's crazy, my local Micro Center in Columbus, Ohio has over 100 4080 models in stock. The consumers are voting with their wallets. I own both Nvidia and AMD graphics cards and am hoping that the AMD offerings in a month are very competitive and maybe this will cause 4080 prices to drop to a more reasonable amount of $1000 or less like they should be.

 

It has been 3 days and in tiny Sweden/Scandinavia, there are.. yes, this isn't a typo.. more than a THOUSAND.. in stock, ready to ship immediately. Literally no one is buying them.

Including.. TUF at MSRP. With 25% VAT I refuse to buy it at MSRP though, still too much, they need to lower it by $200, at least. So yeah I'd probably buy at $999, or even better, buy one open box for maybe $899.

 

Waiting to see how much lube ships with the 4080Ti, and how much the die gets cut.

 

They're not selling:

Here in my area the MicroCenter has a boat load of Zotac 4080'a and 1 PNY left. Not exactly flying off the shelf.

 

Interesting. Other than the initial batch at Newegg, which sold out quickly, it seems that the 4080 is in stock everywhere. That initial Newegg batch was probably all scalpers and bots. I am actually surprised / proud of consumers here. Nvidia pushes and pushes until there is some pushback, and that pushback is finally here.

 

I'd pay £900 max for a 4080, but for 4K its not significantly better than my 3080 Ti anyway so I'd probably still wait for 4080 Ti or 4090 price to come down.

Ideally skip them all and wait for 5000 series, can push 60+ FPS with DLSR in modern games for now.

Maybe its a good thing I didn't wait for 3080 Fe stock and went with the Ti now, will last a bit longer.

Problem as well is I wont be selling the 3080 Ti, I'll want it in my desktop build with an ultrawide Oled next.

 

My Microcenter near me still has a lot of cards as well. I also got the invite for the nvidia priority access. They have the 4080 Fe for 1200 available. I have until the 21st to grab it but i just cant pull the trigger for it at 1200 bucks

 

So I only just found out about that priority thing and signed up in case it comes in useful in the future.

 

i'm pretty sure nvidia is preparing 4080 super or ti versions, too much performance difference between 4080 and 4090.

 

The price for this 4080 is untennable and will likely drop when AMDs new cards kick its teeth in for raster performance. I expect prices to settle around ~900 for this card, ~1100 for the full die super, ~1400 for the cut down AD102 Ti.

 

that what i was thinking, for sure Nvidia is waiting for rx 7900 xtx ( direct competition for 4080) and default 4080 will be around 900, don't forget we have still plenty rtx 3000 on market for cheaper price

 

so I got my MSI gaming X up and running. The card runs great (currently 3rd for port royal) but for some reason I had to turn my ddr5 down from XMP 6600 all the way down to 5200mhz?

Anyone know why this is? I was thinking maybe it has something to do with ReBar?

 

What caused you to have to do that? I'm running a 3080Ti with DDR5 at 6400, never had to touch memory. But I have manual settings and am not using XMP.

Did you validate your RAM speed for stability?

 

I mentioned in another thread, the backlash over the 4080 12 Gb was simply used as an excuse by Nvidia to not have to release a 4000 series card at £900.

It would have made a better purchase than 3000 series cards at the price it was meant to have been, now people still have to buy a 3000 series GPU if they don't want to waste £1200 on a 4080.

For 4K performance, the 4080 doesn't justify the cost of anything from the 3080 and up, and its looking likely that the next gen of 4K oleds are likely to be 240 hz based on the specs of LG's upcoming monitors.

 

Only morons with deep pockets buy from here scalped and flex it in social media..the same kind of morons some YTubers are who are praising the MSRP price, which is never evident and preaching the glorious performance, which 3090ti tier like with very cut down to earth specs..

 

My 3070 has developed some bad coil whine since the recent driver that increased performance.. All it did was allow more power to the card, which in turn kills it faster. My power use went from 220w to 250w, who knows what else the driver did.

Funny timing considering they need older cards to die out..

 

Do you mean 526.98?

Edit: I just checked Octane Bench, still pulling 350w-355W like I was over the summer (3080Ti).

 

If the price of the 4080 goes down after Amd releases their gpu do you guys think(guess) its going to be hard to grab a 4080? Wondering if it makes sense to sell my 3070 so my out of pocket cost for a 4080 would be more like 800 to 900 ish?

 

That's a tough call -- I guess it depends on how many prospective customers are looking at this purely from a cost perspective and are just waiting for what they think will be an inevitable price drop, versus those who want to see the CEO shoved into a wood chipper feet first for the "Moore's Law is dead" crap and thinking he could get away with charging that much in the first place.
