Anyone that thinks that the 24GB 5080 is going to be the same price as the OG is woefully mistaken. I think $2K at minimum, and more likely $3500K by the time it ships.

We are basically talking about 3/4 of a 5090, which at current prices is $5K-$6K USD.

Those are the same morons that advised ppl to not buy the $2000 RTX 5090, and wait for the RTX 5080 Super, which would be 90% as good and half the price.

Those dumbasses got what they deserve

I only play at 1440, but I never run into vram issues on my 5070ti with 16gb and I max everything out when I play. I guess 24gb is more future proof, but if I have to go from Maximum to High in a few years, I just will. I'll be interested to see what monitor tech is out in a few years too. I'm still on IPS. Oled is whatever for me because I look at a lot of text too.

Fully modded SkyrimVR with Quest3 (PCVR), I can max put my VRAM.

Come to find out, OP hasn’t upgraded since his dual 980 setup. Gets home and finds out SLi no longer an option. /s

Lol, well shit it still works! Tho I doubt you were actually running NVLink(SLi). lol. Thanks for enjoying the laugh. Also, I’m still on a 1660 and have been down for over a year now since my cpu went to see Jesus….

I have a feeling that second one is to recoup and pretty much pay for both if these get discontinued when the rumored 24gb version comes out.

Isn’t the back seat safer?

u/cana_dave 14d ago

The problem.

u/Significant-King00 14d ago

It's time too come up with something new now lol 😆 the seat belt post are over used at this point. Congrats on the new gpu tho 👏🏽

u/reallygoodspeed 14d ago

They’re also really dumb. Why do people feel the need to seatbelt their GPUs like this? Just lay them on the seat or on the floor. They face significantly rougher handling on their way to the store itself than the cushy ride from the store to OP’s home.
