There are new cards for those who want everything "full" and "complete" and with "as many GBs of VRAM as possible" though:
I mean, if you were a for-profit publically traded company and could charge 200% (datacenter pricing) more for 15% more expense (datacenter part), why wouldn't you prioritize that funding stream?He also said they’re using AI libraries for supply chain management. Guess the AI decided gaming GPUs are for suckers
NVIDIA needs only to show they have a part that's dramatically faster than everyone else, and can sell it when they want to. That's always been the case. Lack of competition breeds cost increases and market stagnation.
Where can you buy these laptops?
It's the same story as the desktop Broadwells -- they're out there, just have to wait for stock. Example where you can buy them from Asus website, when they're in stock again: https://rog.asus.com/us/laptops/rog-strix-series/?items=100074
Actually it will be the first time, they haven't shipped any yet. They might start soon though, NVIDIA just got the driver support ready in latest release.
When your AI find this, i think it makes sense to not invest in wafer for gaming chips:He also said they’re using AI libraries for supply chain management. Guess the AI decided gaming GPUs are for suckers
Assassin's Creed Shadows Performance Benchmark Review - 30 GPUs Compared
Assassin’s Creed Shadows is finally here, transporting players to feudal Japan in an open-world adventure filled with stealth, combat, and exploration. Shadows finally brings RT support to the series and delivers stunning visuals but also demands powerful hardware. In our performance review, we...
why build the biggest chips when game developers will find the most inefficient way to render a frame.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows is designed around RT, the raster path has an old compute Illumination algorithm that is seemingly not well optimized, the RT path works much better at utilizing resources (comparatively speaking).
XTX you mean
Yeah still no, RX 9070 XT beats 7900 XTX in RT at TPU with 20 % difference at that res (average) and only game it lost at 4K RT to it was Elden RingAssassin’s Creed Shadows is designed around RT, the raster path has an old compute Illumination algorithm that is seemingly not well optimized, the RT path works much better at utilizing resources (comparatively speaking).

The 9070XT loses to the XTX in several other RT games: Dragon Age Veilguard, Indiana Jones and Witcher 3, Assassin’s Creed Shadows is a continuation of this trend.

AC is just being AC, they've been skipping PC h/w optimization for three times in a row now and somehow people are still posting benchmarks of these games as if they mean anything else.
It means alot when a 750mm^2 die is barely faster than a 350mm^2 from the competition despite having >2x the raw performance. For nVidia it is currently a waste of wafers to produce GB202. They can not optimize software like with AI.
Engine developers dont care either. Gamers will have less choice in the future.

Because everyone plays AC Shadow only and never ever launch other games.
Scalpers in the US are likely having a tough time moving 5080s. Going prices on eBay are similar to or lower than prices at retail. After sales taxes and eBay fees there’s no upside and even maybe taking a loss.
Cards are sitting on shelves now.
Scalping probably puts local shops like a Microcenter in a bind. Their markets are by definition local so the number of people willing to pay inflated prices is much lower than online shops or eBay. So if they raise prices to match eBay scalpers their product won’t move. But if they lower prices scalping will resume. No easy way out besides having lots of stock.
