HODL for the RTX 11780 TI SUPER PLATINUM CREAM EDITION
With 10 minutes to spare!
If you think you'll need the extra 0-10 SMs and 8 GB of VRAM to pinch hit at 8K or 2160p ultrawide and can wait until end of year, sure.
Mostly the Super lineup is for people looking to squeeze more out of each MSRP, where the likely 12GB 5060 Super and 15-18GB 5070 Super stand out.
supers are schedule for xmas so there's still some time away but id definitely wait if im spending over 1k for significant vram increase in a long time for nvidia
16 gigs will last longer than a 5070 ti will last, 24g is probably only good for LLM's
in most use cases, HUB reckon the 5070 S prob the only one with any meaningful raw performance increase
Just in time for holidays and GST refund…
Cheers, but awaiting for SFF/ITX sized card dealeo…. this one 6mm too long for me
Fellow Terra enjoyer I see

I’ll only start loving Jensen if I can snag a 5090 for $1399—no arguments. Back in the day the GTX 1080 Ti was top-tier, and its specs weren’t far off today’s “90” cards; I remember it clearly selling for just over 900 bucks. With all the cash he’s raking in from AI, he could throw gamers a bone with a subsidy, right? Okay, maybe that logic collapses when every Chinese AI firm vacuumed up the entire 5090 stock.
GTX 1080 Ti released at about $1200 AUD. Thats $1496 when you convert for inflation. I think it dropped larger and quicker, but initial pricing was large.
1AUD was also 0.75USD back then so = $900 USD. Converted for inlfation = $1184 USD = $1814 AUD right now.
1080tI wasAS $699 RPP in America at launch and 5080 was $999 RRP. Inflation puts 1080 price at $919 today so once again, actually not as bad as it seems. The crypto and AI craze means its hard to actually get at RRP tho so instead of RRP and then sales you get inflated prices and then RRP at best.
Everythings exploded in price and Aus $ is weaker. Tbh the Australian tax seems to have dropped and almost dissapeared for some tech since a decade+ ago so we actually aren't getting hit as hard. Things like the Switch 2 are actually priced far better in Australia tha Europe and the US.
I bought a 1080ti about 8 months after release for roughly 800
This isn't a government program or award wage, it's not expressly tied to inflation.
The cost of a silicon wafer has more than tripled in that time period and has additional R&D costs associated for NVIDIA, who have also more than doubled their staff since 2019.
There is absolutely something to be said for price elasticity on a luxury good, but you do not need to buy the maxed out die these days either.
Globally we're largely preventing demand elasticity from the 5080 down, and NVIDIA has been eyeing that off since the 20 series (16 series vs 2060, positioning and pricing of the 3050-3070, 4050-4070, every 50 series aside from the 5050 and 5090).
We should see pricing and value improve more significantly with the 60 series due to a combination of stabilising costs for design, manufacture, and software & game development.
The biggest market change is the demand for server side GPUs. This market has higher margins than gaming so nvidia prioritises it.
@Bargainer99: The demand has been high for 8 years, it's just completely pushed past the ability for supply to scale. The initial solve was ceding to mobile supply, but now they need more foundries for each new node.
5080 was specifically a smaller die to prevent scalping and excess competition, and it's largely worked, as well as being a highly competent 4K GPU (4090 base performance).
Yeah nah I'm an extreme bargain hunter but even I'd laugh at an xx90 for $1400. The RTX 4090 desktop was seen as low $2500 if I recall correctly. I'd set my price target for the 5090 similarly.
ill stick to my 4070TiS - its about half the size and only -10% performance
Considering upgrading my RX 6800 to this so I can use raytracing without tanking my FPS and use nvidia filters on Wuthering Waves, Expedition 33, FF7 Rebirth, etc. How much would the RX6800 sell for now? $400ish?
Looking at recent sold on ebay, theyre selling around $550. Depends what model and condition you have.
Good gpu, it's been serving me well. Fans can get a little loud but runs quite cool. Paid $100 more.
But fair warning, it's a big card.
I wouldnt worry too much about the super version if you're using the card for gaming. higher Vram will make a bigger difference with the 5080, 16gb should be fine for this.
There is a minor performance difference between 5070Ti and 5080. The extra VRAM will make no difference for either of them for a few years for gaming. But it is more future proof if you are stuck with the same card for years. Which many people are now
I finally caved, to be honest more out of concern that I have been talking myself into a 5080 or talking myself into buying a super at a higher price.
An alright upgrade from my 3070, I just build a new 9800X3D machine and I figure this will last me the next few generations as I don't think the super or 6xxxx series is going to revolutionise anything.
curious to hear about fan noise or coil whine. Seems PNY is in the same league as gainward in terms of noise
yeah, seen that but searching this card in reddit shows up quite a few reports of fans making weird/annoying sounds
It's a long way off so nothing is confirmed but the talk in the hardware scene is that 6000 series cards are going to be a big jump from the 5000s actually.
I have usually skipped a generation:
Build 8700k machine - 2016
Upgrade to 1070 - 2016
Upgrade to 3070 - 2020
Build 9800X3D machine - 2025
Upgrade to 5070Ti - 2025
I have usually had decent mileage out of my builds, I think if you get trapped waiting for the next leap you will always ben waiting.
I don't love the price, but it is also the ideal time for me to buy personally, I don't think prices are going to drop much until we approach 6XXX.
Don't get me wrong, I'm doing the same 3070->5070 ti upgrade you are so I get where you're coming from, but I know it's going to hurt in 12-18 months if the rumours are true. There's never a perfect time to upgrade and this is definitely the least worst option atm if you need Nvidia for their feature set over AMD.
I built a 6700k + 980ti and upgraded to 9800x3d a few weeks ago. still haven't buy GPU yet. I would buy 9070xt, 5070ti or 5080
I'm also in the same boat (3070 here) and while it's fine for most things (without all the bells and whistles) I do want to be able to crank up the settings with newer titles.
Ever since I got my ultrawide, I've really felt the limitations of 8gb of VRAM.
Best bang/buck cards for Ollama Gemma3/12b and/or DaVinci Resolve. I got the Asus tuf triple fan version for build/component longevity. Never raises a sweat. Quiet and cool at full throttle.
Coming up as $1,449 am I too late?
CentreCom is still having the same deal.
inb4 "wait for the supers!!!"
