    This is an EVEN BIGGER opportunity than AMD had with Intel to have a “Ryzen moment”.

    With trash uplifts (5070 may not even beat the 4070Super) and blatantly swapping of the names of their GPUs (the 5080 is XX70-level hardware – at best)… Nvidia has effectively doubled the price of GPUs in a few short years.

    If AMD decided to finally not just-follow-Nvidia, I would RUN to buy a $550-600 RX9070XT with RTX5080 performance.

    “$550-600? That’s unrealistic, Brad, you fuckin’ idiot!”

    Fuck off. $1,000 RTX5080 performance is twice what the $500 two-gens-old RTX3070 had. And also…

    • The $599 RTX4070 Super had twice the performance of the two-gens-old $499 RTX2070 Super
    • The $499 RTX3070 had twice the performance of the two-gens-old $379 GTX1070
    • The $499 RTX2070 Super had twice the performance of the two-gens-old $329 GTX970
    • The $379 GTX1070 had twice the performance of the two-gens-old $399 GTX770
