This is an EVEN BIGGER opportunity than AMD had with Intel to have a “Ryzen moment”.
With trash uplifts (5070 may not even beat the 4070Super) and blatantly swapping of the names of their GPUs (the 5080 is XX70-level hardware – at best)… Nvidia has effectively doubled the price of GPUs in a few short years.
If AMD decided to finally not just-follow-Nvidia, I would RUN to buy a $550-600 RX9070XT with RTX5080 performance.
“$550-600? That’s unrealistic, Brad, you fuckin’ idiot!”
Fuck off. $1,000 RTX5080 performance is twice what the $500 two-gens-old RTX3070 had. And also…
- The $599 RTX4070 Super had twice the performance of the two-gens-old $499 RTX2070 Super
- The $499 RTX3070 had twice the performance of the two-gens-old $379 GTX1070
- The $499 RTX2070 Super had twice the performance of the two-gens-old $329 GTX970
- The $379 GTX1070 had twice the performance of the two-gens-old $399 GTX770
I’ve always used Transmission, since there’s a Docker container I use that bakes in your VPN-of-choice & a killswitch.

That said, it looks like it hasn’t been updated in over a year… I wonder if there’s anything else out there that does the same thing as this. (EDIT: Yes. Google brings up plenty of choices.)
