So the leakers were correct.
Means the top end Blackwell offerings will cost an arm and a leg. F for the consumers. If Nvidia even puts out a 102-die as 5090 given the run on AI and just how insane margins are there. So if they are limited by fab capacity they might just pull another 4070 and sell us a 103 die as 5090 and force it down our throat.
I'm fine with it. Consumers reap what they sow, basically. AMD is likely gonna drop high end GPUs in general, if not dedicated GPUs completely.
I mean, we can debate "high-end". By RDNA 5, we should have 4k @ 120 fps as a base-line for all dedicated GPUs. Where do you go after that in consumer GPUs?
While there will always be a small, enthusiast market for super-high end GPUs, I'm not sure the mainstream will be interested in pushing 240 FPS. Maybe Nvida sees the writing on the wall, which is why they're pivoting away from consumer-focused GPUs.
And if AMD continues to serve us solid 300-600$ dGPUs until then, I think that's still a win. I don't think the market for >1000$ dGPUs is that large anyway.
Yes, but also this is why NVidia pushes raytracing.
I mean, all of that assumes requirements won't keep increasing. Raytracing just artificially increases the performance requirements once you start getting to the top of what's possible. The same will be done once RT is getting capped out.
