The sale of the new RTX 4080 does not take off as it should, also due to the presence on the market of the Radeon RX 6900XT, let’s fuck why
The new RTX 4080 it was the first card in the last two years that didn’t sell out as soon as it came out. This claim was made by HardwareCanucks, which has been closely monitoring the Canadian video card market. However this situation is not isolated to the Canada, but to many other regions.
HKEPC, among other things, he claims that many retailers had ordered many pieces of 4080 after seeing the RTX 4090 sell out extremely quickly. Unfortunately for them, however, many of the 4080 they’re still on the shelves or, even worse, inside the unpacked boxes.
Youtuber joke
A well-known youtuber, Bitwitkyle, then decided to create a content on a build of the 4080. However, instead of actually testing the card, he decided to compare it to the build AMD Ryzen e Radeon. The only problem was that no 4080 was actually connected (simply because there was no longer enough budget).
This video however, in its sympathy, is a perfect example of why this 4080 struggles to sell at this price point. It’s so expensive, in fact, that enthusiasts will choose one anyway 4090 since in practice there is no solution of the series RTX 40 for less than a thousand euros.
The system suggested by youtube is already good as it is. However it is still possible to modify some parts to save enough to be able to afford one 6900 XT. For the same price, basically, you can build a build with 6900 XT, Ryzen 5 5600 X1GB of memory DDR4-3600 and a power supply from 700W.
In all this scenario, we recall that AMD will soon launch its high-end Radeon RX 7000 series with at least two models, both for less than 1000 euros. What do you think? Let us know with a comment and keep reading allteK to stay up to date.
