it’s the big appeal of the thing that it’s basically the same performance for $300?

We all knew it was just a price drop, the extra performance is just a bonus. The 4080 was an awful value, the 4080 super is very competitive with amd at that price point. It’s a _little_ slower in rasterization than the xtx and has much less vram, but has dlss, fantastic efficiency and better rt performance. (Though the xtx can often be found for under 1000$)

Most everyone knew when the card was announced that the peroformance wouldn’t be really better. It was literally some shading units extra.
The big news out of the announcement was the 200$ discount on MSRP. I wouldn’t call a price drop a “waste of everyone’s time”. Your time was only wasted if you’re a reviewer having to run all the benchmarks, for us consumers, this is a win.

It’s a lot cheaper and the performance is better than 3% in many titles.

Were you expecting some massive generational uplift for a mid-gen refresh and a large price cut? lol Why would anyone think that?

Nvidia summoning their army of shill bots when they detect a post that speaks out against their shit products

Are people surprised? I thought it’s been known for a while that the Super versions were just mostly a price cut with some minor improvements
Fallen_0n3
I mean the 2080 super was also a meh upgrade from the 2080. This was expected tbh . If the 4080 super was a ad 102 card tho things would have been different.
Also realistically the only threat AMD posed was the 7800XT they responded well with the 4070 super but rest of the stack is pretty meh from AMD as well
faverodefavero
Hoped for ~15~20% better performance at least, AND it should still cost 750~800USD$ WORLDWIDE. The way it is, it’s terribly overpriced, specially outside US… more like a scam to make people spend a ~thousand+ bucks on a ***80 series, which is just ridiculous and sad.
People love praising GamersNexus, HardwareUnboxed and other good hardware channels here but no one seems to actually listen to them when they point this generation’s nVidia cards are not a good value at all. People should really learn to speak with their wallets.

I’m happy with my 4080 until the 10080

that’s your dumbass fault for listening to anything GN says about gaming hardware. their gaming hardware reviews couldn’t be any more irrelevant.

Were people expecting a cut down 4090? No way NVIDIA would do that when the 4090 is in so much demand. It’s always going to be AD103 and that means the performance ceiling is really close to that of 4080.

It’s sad to see that nvidia is successfully training people that more expensive cards are a thing now. Even with the price drop. 1k for an 80 series cards is still just absurd and not valued at all.
And AMD is just cashing in on the same opportunity. Rip future GPUs.
tuckelberry
Fuck Nvidia.

Were people really expecting differently? Nvidia explicitly stated that it wouldn’t be much, if any improvement.

It’s always just a marketing gimmick. Same shit every time. So what if it was even 5-10% better we’re talking 80 FPS to 88FPS that no one could actually tell a difference between the two if they did a blind game test with them. It’s only a tactic to boost sales. Nvidia is a super shady company just like any other. They’re not our buddies.

$200 cheaper for a slightly tuned up card is very good news
I feel like reviewers had either too high expectations, or are just a bit jaded due to NVDA’s lack lustre price / performance across the 4000 series.
Even though as Steve pointed out “This is what the 4080 should have been 14 months ago”, at least we have it now…
Really 4080 should have been $1000 and this should be $800, but Jensen need those leather jackets yo…

4070s is the best choise in this refresh
Acrobatic-Research
And in my country its more expensive than 4080, lol
Definitely_Not_Bots
The only thing that improved was the price:performance ratio
KickassCaveman
When was SUPER ever more then 3% on any card they made?
TisPizzaTimeYall
You really have to take GN videos with a lot of salt. Their whole thing at this point is just to be as hypercritical as possible and the average consumer doesn’t have that outlook.
let_bugs_go_retire
They fucked up their lineup just to not make a price cut. What a fucking idiotic move.
ExtremeMeaning471
What did people expect with 5% more cuda codes and the same power budget?
I bet it overclock well.

wait for the super guys! trust me just wait for it!
