faces higher costs at TSMC as it is significantly more expensive to make chips using TSMC's 4N technology than on Samsung Foundry's 8LPP production node at the same die size and yields. Hence, price hikes were always on the table for GeForce RTX 40-series graphics boards.

Is RTX 40 series worth it?

It even outpaces the much more expensive RTX 3090 Ti, a GPU less than a year old. For those looking for the best-performing GPU for rendering, the RTX 4090 24GB is hands down the best option. Moving on to the RTX 4080 16GB, this GPU costs the same as the RTX 3080 Ti yet delivers 39% more frames per second.

Will the RTX 40 series be more expensive?

RTX 40 series pricing

The RTX 4080 16GB costs $1199, and the RTX 4090 begins at an MSRP of $1599. These prices are higher than the previous generation of graphics cards, as we do not yet have any information about the lower-tier of GPUs, which we presume will be launching in 2023.

Is the 4080 overpriced?

Although overpriced, the GeForce RTX 4080 is one of the best graphics cards for modern-day gaming.

Will Nvidia 40 series drop in price?

The newer generation is seeing between a 6.2% to 6.9% reduction in cost for the consumer. This information follows a rumor published almost two weeks ago that NVIDIA will have a limited market supply for the remainder of this first quarter of 2023.

Why Are RTX 4000 Cards So Expensive?

How much will the 4090 TI cost?

The RTX 4090 is priced at an MSRP of $1599.

How much better is the 4090 than the 3090?

Benchmarks show that the RTX 4090 performs about 60-70% better than the RTX 3090 at 4K resolution on average. Crucially, this is about the same as the difference in price between the two cards.

Are scalpers struggling to sell the RTX 4080?

Scalpers are struggling to sell RTX 4080 GPUs, even at MSRP.

With the release of new cards, everyone was counting on something more affordable to appear soon. But what NVIDIA did instead was to cancel the cheaper $899 RTX 4080 12GB model essentially leaving both available RTX 40 GPUs at $1200+ price range.

Is RTX 4080 overkill?

Spoiler alert: yes, RTX 4080 gaming is overkill.

Should I buy a 3090 or wait for 4080?

If you've already got a 3090, or you're thinking about picking up a GPU for a blazing-fast workstation PC build, then I'd stick with the 3090. However, if you're looking for superior gaming performance at higher resolutions with minimal overhead, the 4080 is a winner here!

Should I buy GPU now or wait for 40 series?

Now is as good as it's going to get for GPU pricing in 2022

If you need a card now, you should grab one now while there's still decent selection and availability. If you're waiting for RTX 40 series, you might get lucky but that's a gamble and a price you'll need to decide you wanna take.

Will the 4080 get a price cut?

NVIDIA RTX 4080 May Get a Price Cut, RTX 4090 and 4070 Ti Supply to be Limited in Early 2023 [Report] NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 40 series GPUs are allegedly going to be in short supply in the early months of 2023.

Is the 4090 worth it?

If budget is of no concern and you want flagship performance for high refresh rate 4K gaming, or very high refresh rate 1440p gaming, then the 4090 is your only option. However, if you're fine with 144Hz 1440p gaming or 100fps 4K gaming, the 4080 is a better offering.

Should i buy a 4090 or a 3080 Ti?

Conclusion. The GeForce RTX 4090 is a massive upgrade over the RTX 3080 Ti/3090, especially in ray-traced workloads, which will account for almost every future AAA game. Factor in DLSS 3, and you've got a multi-generational uplift in select titles.

Will 4070 be better than 3090?

At 1440p and using Nvidia's DLSS 3, the RTX 4070 Ti puts up impressive numbers against the RTX 3090 Ti. But when we consider that it only has 12GB of VRAM with memory bus width limitations at 4K, it's less enticing. It does have a significantly lower TDP power output than the RTX 3090 Ti, which helps its performance.

Should I buy RTX 3080 or wait for RTX 4080?

Overall, it's up to you, your needs, and your allowance. For the majority of folks, the RTX 4080 is not an upgrade you need, especially if you already have a 3080 or similar. If you're trying to decide on either a 3080 or a 4080, either will give you some incredible performance in the latest games.

Are 4090s still melting?

RTX 4090 connectors are melting again, and this time there's a major change. We thought we'd seen the last of the problems with Nvidia's 12VHPWR connector used for the RTX 40-series.

What CPU will not bottleneck a RTX 4080?

Intel takes the win again with their Core i5 13600K, ranking as our favourite option to pair up with the RTX 4080. This CPU takes the cake when it comes to price to performance metrics.

Is a 4090 overkill?

Again, if you're using a 1080p monitor — even one with an extreme refresh rate — the RTX 4090 will almost certainly be overkill.

Will GPU scalping become illegal?

Scalping GPU is currently not illegal. More people are pushing for legislation on this front, but it remains to be seen if we'll get one or not.

How do scalpers buy so quickly?

A scalper bot is an automated program that performs scalping—purchasing limited-edition goods (such as event tickets) to resell at a higher cost. Because bots can complete the checkout process in a fraction of the time it takes a human user, they can buy thousands of goods the moment they go on sale.

What is the criticism of RTX 4080?

The biggest problem for the RTX 4080 is that the RTX 4090 exists. If this were a $700 or $800 GPU like this class was in the previous generation, it wouldn't even be close. But at $1,200, the RTX 4080 and RTX 4090 show a larger gap in performance than they do in price.

Is the RTX 4090 overpriced?

Yes, the price is high, but it's not gougingly overpriced given its performance; it's just suffering from the business-as-usual, taking-advantage-of-FOMO markup. (Big caveat: I haven't tested the RTX 3090 Ti.)

Is RTX 4090 worth it for deep learning?

In summary, the GeForce RTX 4090 is a great card for deep learning, particularly for budget-conscious creators, students, and researchers.

Which RTX 4090 is the most powerful?

ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4090 OC Edition

It is easily the most powerful 4090 out there, clocking at a stable 3120 Mhz in our own tests.
