Biggest question I have is how much will it set me back to upgrade from my 4080 Super? (kinda kidding.....maybe)

You'll likely get around $600-700 on the used market for the 4080s.

Used prices get really, really fricky around new release time. They tend to go down the closer we get to release day, then either crash or skyrocket depending on availability of the new gen.

Josh - anything exciting to watch for in the coming months for those 4k systems we might build this year?

I'm going to get my desk situation squared away first, but I'm watching for new display launches.

Not for me, but that just depends on your target. I’m not looking to move to 4k until the hardware can legit push 90fps+ at high settings, RT, etc. But short of there being a big negative surprise, I’ll likely be buying my “last 1440uw” card this gen, then holding out until 5k2k matures more.

I'm getting concerned they aren't going to really do it, just "framegen" it and call it a day. Now, I'm a 100% single player only, so at the end of the day, gaming "experience" is more important to me than any perceived/actual competitive edge I might get from higher framerates for various games, so it may be irrelevant (to me).

I misunderstood your intention. I thought you said you had "built" your last 1440 and were waiting for a 4k.

I may have to go forward without you - (probably not, though, have to get this desk thing sorted first).

Nah, plan was to buy one more 1440uw gpu and then see whether that started CPU limiting me. If so, consider a full system build in which the system other than the GPU would be my future 5k2k system. But that last bit is what likely threw you.

Updated DLSS model looks incredibly good.



It’s less performative than the original CNN model, but it’s worth it for improvement in visuals and removal of artifacts.

Like I mentioned in the other thread, people have definitely been gushing over it. I’m hoping major reviewers release content on it before the 30th. HUB at least has said they are.

Nvidia’s $465bn rout biggest in US stock market history, as DeepSeek sparks US tech sell-off – as it happened

A sell-off of global technology shares has wiped up to $1 trillion off US stock markets, with the US chipmaker Nvidia falling more than 13%, and losing $465bn off its market value – the biggest such loss in US market history.

I think investors are just extremely overreacting because most don't understand the technology to begin with, but also they actually believe China and their usually bullshite claims.

No idea if what this tech CEO is saying is true, but I 100% believe this as a reason for their development over Deepseek claiming they only spent $6,000,000. Everything about this story and event feels extremely astroturfed and almost like some kind of economic disinfo campaign by the CCP to damage the US economy.

A single H100 costs around $25,000-$40,000... if they secretly have 50,000 of them, that's easily over a billion dollars invested.

I think the fact that a (thus far) relatively weak story can shake the AI market so thoroughly indicates just how much of that market believes itself to be a bubble.

Anyone here been able to get their hands on a 5080 or 5090?

I'm not in the market, but I find it incredibly frustrating that this is a constant issue with GPUS and, hell, event he 9800x3d is scarce outside of ebay.

I know, broken record is broken. I'm just venting.

Was able to get a 9800x3d a few weeks ago online from Best Buy. Actually ended up with two of them bc my Amazon order came through after being in limbo for over a month.

No such luck with either 50 series cards yesterday morning.

Pretty sure there are less than 1,000 5090s in the country as of now

I briefly tried to pick one up from BestBuy yesterday morning just to take advantage of price inflation either of that card or my 3080, got in line instantly and sat in that line for an hour before it told me they were sold out. It wasn’t what I would call a pleasant experience

It seems to be like this for every single drop these days.


For my 4080 Super, I used Hotstock to follow Nividia and was able to get one during one of their big drops. I couldn't make myself do the bestbuy dance every day. Hotstock will send you instock notifications even if they card isn't shippable to you....so frustrating.
