Josh Lyman posted:If I hadn’t bought a 4070 as part of a new build in May, I would be all over the 4070 Ti Super. That said, mine overlocks well and maxes out my 1440p 165Hz monitor on Ultra DLSS Quality in Diablo 4, and I got it for $450 net, so I guess it was a reasonable purchase at the time, especially since I’ve barely played anything in the last 5 months.

If I hadn't bought a 7900 XTX back in March 2023 I'd be seriously eyeing that 4080 Super as an upgrade from the 3070 Ti I was using. No matter how much better the 4080S performs than my 7900 XTX though I don't think I'll be able to justify it.

So how do these launches work? Do we preorder from somewhere or is it a free for all on launch Day?

It's a launch day free-for-all. that said, in the US it's typically just a matter of F5ing Newegg at 9am eastern time on the launch day, and these days you typically have at least 30 minutes to order a card before they go out of stock (if they're popular enough to go oos in the first place)

my experience is that outside the launches during the pandemic/crypto craze, buying on day 1 is doable

popular cards can still go out of stock on launch day, but you have ample time to buy if you check at the right time or if you stop by your local pc hardware store in the morning of. i think the 4070 and 4090 went out of stock, though i can't remember if the 4070 ti and 4080 did. the 4060 and 4060 ti definitely did not. the 4080 super is probably going to be very available. not sure about the other supers

It just seems wrong to me that he 4090 is *more* expensive now, a year after launch. Wtf 4080 super seems nice, but my current card is perfectly fine for basically all games… I think I’ll wait for reviews.

Also, I'm pretty sure Nvidia makes a poo poo load more money by putting that same silicon into compute cards. Maybe prices will drop when TSMC's Arizona fab opens? Not sure since I think they're not putting their secret sauce in USA so we'll see last-gen wafers at best.

The only good thing about the 4080 Super is the price reduction tbh. And it's kinda insane that Nvidia have conditioned people into being okay with spending 1k on a gpu that isn't even top of the line. +6% fps is nominal. Not a noticable difference. Still a long distance behind the 4090 in performance and vram. Might pick one up, or the 4070 Ti Super, but I'm half expecting to be lukewarm on the purchase a couple years later. The 5000 series will probably be much faster, and then when the PS6 comes, 16gb vram (or its performance) won't be enough. PirateBob fucked around with this message at 10:49 on Jan 9, 2024 |

When it will go live is anyones guess. Regardless the price inflation is completely artificial at this point, riding high on the profits from the crypto craze and now AI, considering other PC hardware has gone back to relative normalcy and abundance. Well until SSD makers figured out One Weird Trick to increase profit Rigged Death Trap fucked around with this message at 15:27 on Jan 9, 2024 |

Whether that happens now, who knows.

The high prices are not due to supply, there's high demand and Nvidia is happily pushing out datacenter chips and keeping the consumer market from being flooded while keeping prices high. AMD is more than happy to jump on board too. I think AMD legit has a more constrained supply so maybe if more production resulted in more AMD chips they could put some downward pressure on prices. Bbbuuutttt, they don't seem super motivated to start a price war. We could hope for an AI crash that results in Nvidia needing way more volume from the consumer side, or that AMD/Intel comes up with some market-breaking tech that puts NVidia on it's back foot, but most likely if we're all willing to pay these prices Nvidia is just going to keep charging us.

I don't see an AI crash in the near (<=5 year) future but I do see models running much more efficiently (1-2 steps instead of 30) within that same time frame so demand on compute might plateau.

Some images taken from the RTX Remix Showcase, a discord server where people have been experimenting with the RTX Remix runtime and posting WIP screenshots:      (Max Payne - Tomb Raider 2 - Sam & Max Save the World - Call of Duty 4 - Freedom Fighters - Hitman 2 or maybe Contracts) Shits gonna start popping off once the editor is actually available to most of these people.

Lossless Scaling just dropped what looks like a big update today:quote:Introducing LSFG 1.0 - a universal frame generator that can be used for most games and not only. Designed from the ground up using machine learning to run on a wide range of GPUs, including integrated graphics cards. Can be used with or without scaling. my desktop is out of action right now so I can't try it with my high-refresh monitor, but I'll give it a spin on my laptop EDIT: did a quick test using Quake 1 - there was a bit of finagling required because there's no support for a 30 FPS cap inside Quake's in-game settings, and my monitor's refresh modes are 48 Hz and 60 Hz, and AMD's driver-level FPS cap only works on full-screen-exclusive games, not on windowed-mode games, but apparently Lossless Scaling now works even on full-screen games anyway, I could tell it works because of the UI artifacts: the crosshair would leave "trails" as I panned the camera. It does work - Steam's FPS overlay jumps from 30 to 60 when you activate it, but it creates this weird floaty feeling where it's like the edges of the image blur heavily and it gave me a headache. But I guess that's to be expected with working off such a low base frame rate. I'll have to wait to see if it's any better with a base of 60 going up to 120. gradenko_2000 fucked around with this message at 14:31 on Jan 10, 2024 |
