How much 5080 with 16 gb ram is a deal breaker?

[SuperSonicStudent]

i was got kinda screwd since when i bought my new pc few months ago the only version of rtx 5080 was with 16 gb. supposedly the rtx 5080 super will have 24 gb but its not out yet. the only alternative was to buy 5090 which is insanly expensive and demand much stronger and also expensive PSU. i got 1000W now. but i heard that 5090 32 gb demand at least 1200. so now my only option would be either buying rtx super which i dont even think its worth it. or buying both 5090 and a new psu

Just stick to what you have, this gen from Nvidia is completely half-assed anyway. Next gen is rumored to be better (not a big milestone to beat to be honest).
Also AMD is bringing the pain with RX 10950 XTX.

A good quality 1000W would do the trick.

Antec PSU 1000W HCG1000 (ATX3.1) PRO Platinum?

So, by your calculations, the next Nvidia Titan to kill AMD Radeon will be the 6090Ti or the 7090Ti which was about my predicted time as well plus seeing the last AMD killer Titan was released in 2017 in the form of GTX 1080Ti.

Let's get ready to rumble.

Why do you need more than 16GB?

You could also look at a second hand 4090 as it sits between the 5080 and 5090.

Oh yes, AMD's 'next' gpu will always be far more powerful and better than nvidia!...

Wait a second, haven't they said the same thing for a decade now?

Ignore baseless crazy rumours.

I sold my 4080 and bought a 5080, just last month and so far it been a great upgrade, I play at 1440p 360Hz so I can't see me needing any more than 16GB of VRAM any time soon anyway.

If you play any VR games you can soon chew through VRAM, not seen anything max out my 5090 yet but I've caught it high enough to max a 4090.

Why do you always play at the same framerate? May I assume that you don't play AAA games from ~2020+?

also the 5080 is only around 10% faster than the 4080S

Are we talking about 4K? 16 gb is enough, but it's already pretty close to its limit. Do you think games in the near future will take up more than 16 gb of VRAM? There are only 3 GPUs that have more than 16 gb, and they cost way too much. I don't think the game devs will push it over 16 gb.

I count at least 5 GeForce gaming gpus with 24 GB or more
RTX Titan, 3090, 3090Ti, 4090 and 5090
plus at least 2 Radeon with 20GB or more

I think the only reason Nvidia are so stingy with VRAM is because Jensen want us to upgrade more often. How many of those who bought the 3070Ti and 3080 would have upgraded if they had 16/20GB?

It's fine, a 5080 is a beast. There's no point fretting over what could have been, just enjoy it for a couple of years and sell it on towards your next card.
