Nvidia has announced the most powerful new GPUs ever made: the RTX4090 and 4080? But under the surface, there are some serious problems.
The GeForce RTX 4090, the RTX 3080 16GB, and RTX 3080 12GB. These three new GPUs were the crown jewels of Nvidia’s nearly two-hour keynote.
The problem? Well, they’re also some of the most expensive GPUs ever made. The RTX 4090 comes in at $1,599, the RTX 4080 16GB is $1,199, and the RTX 4080 12GB is $899. Out of context, yes, those are some eye-watering prices. Thinking about how expensive high-end GPUs have become over the last few years is incredible.
Well, not so fast. As the folks over in the hardware subreddit have been pointing out, Nvidia is being very careful with how it plans its lineup. If you compare the RTX 4090 to last-gen’s RTX 3090, you’re seeing a $100 uptick in price. Not great for an already ungodly price, but nothing too surprising. The two RTX 4080 models are where things get hairy.
In the past, the 80-series GPUs have always represented a flagship model, but are fairly attainable for a PC gamer. Clearly, those days are long gone, despite what potential buyers will see.
