RTX 4000 vs RX 7900 Series : Is History Going to Repeat Itself?

Let's get started with Nvidia. Do you remember what Jensen said a couple of months ago? I mean when PCWorld asked him if chip prices would go back down now that crypto has crashed, and all he had to say was “ Moore’s Law is dead.” and “ The idea that a chip is going to go down in price is a story of the past,”.

And then he went on to announce the RTX 40 series, where an 80 class card, the 4080, is now selling for 1200 bucks instead of the consistent 6 to 700 dollars we were used to see. Yeah, that pissed a lot of people off. Especially since the performance gains on that 80 card, were about the same as the price increase. But nothing brings me joy like a little bit of karma.

Apparently, the 4080 is selling really poorly compared to the RTX 4090. In fact, the 4090 outsells the 4080 by nearly 3 and a half times. I mean a lot of stores have stock in Canada, the US, the UK, China, and even Germany, and that’s despite NVidia shipping out less than 4 times the amount of 4080s compared to the 4090. Like there were 130 000 4090’s shipped out at launch compared to 30 000 for the 4080, and it still can't sell. And it's the holiday season!

And that tells me 2 things. First, there's always going to be people for who the money is no object and all they want is to go fast. I have a friend like that who watches my video, you know who you are. And the second thing is a message to you “ you can do it. We can do it . We are doing it. “ its clear that gamers are finally talking with their wallet. And I suspect that once the RX 7900 series from AMD launches, that’s when we’ll see Nvidia’s response.
