Most of the gains on the 50 series has been higher power consumption and GDDR7. It's a total joke

There's obviously going to be a 5080 ti/Super for $1500

Between this marginal improvement and the gaming performance regression on the new core ultra's there is 0 point to this new gen of laptops. I'm happy I purchased a 4090 model for about 50% of what the new models will cost.

These cards were made to keep whatever gap in performance advantage they could over and but they do not represent proper generational improvements and the pricing is poor. Nvidia needed to drop prices properly and reset the market from its obviously inflates prices for the last 2 gens. They dont want to do this but the performance was so poor they couldn't price gouge further like they'd obviously want to.

Sad but Nvidia purposefully damaged us with forced obsolescence via vram limitations, a generation with next to no performance to price uplift and terrible overall scaling. When you charge as much as Nvidia does, you kind of expect the cards to have a proper performance uplift vs old ones.

I think it's a responsibility for card makers that every new product receives a significant gen-on-gen boost in every test. This time, for example, Blender artists have seen single-figure percentage increases for the 5080 and apparently the cards below. This likely affects other 3d rendering creative software, and that's not acceptable at these prices.
