People on the fence about a new GPU hold out until February

Nvidia's new RTX 5070 will deliver 'RTX 4090 performance at $549' when it launches in February

The lowest spec new RTX Blackwell GPU is capable of frame rates akin to the $1,599 RTX 4090 of the previous generation, though likely only through new DLSS 4 AI smarts.

Even if you don't buy a 5070 (lets be honest, they'll be sold out at that price/performance), prices for 4070 Ti's/4080/4090s may drop ALOT once its released.

100% waiting for rasterization benchmarks for these cards. They're absolutely banking on DLSS4.0 being awesome.

Nothing will touch these cards anyway as neither AMD or Intel will compete this generation, but when I see benchmarks of 1.5x/2x over the 4xxx series my red-flag radar goes off.

I expect Intel and AMD to fight over low-mid tier cards, the 24GB Battlemage card and whatever the 9070XT can do will be interesting -- But yeah, no chance they'll touch team green.

I'm planning a refresh on my main machine - I don't do enough gaming to justify anything 1st tier but have been very interested reading about the Intel B580. Even if the shift at the top end does cause price drop offs I'd ended up having to wait and wait for it to filter through.... comments?

Quite surprised NVIDIA are releasing a card at that price point tbh, clearly they want to target people looking for budget hardware again.... its took them long enough.
