I would rather get a ps5 and xbox series x instead of a 4080 for ±40-50% increased performance.

 

[DrJohnZoidberg]

The niche for the 4080 is pretty small imo, I mean anyone spending that kind of money on a GPU is probably not going to worry about spending a bit extra to get the 4090 instead. Not really sure who the card is priced for.

LOl people paid the same prices for their 3080's last year and now they can get 9k for them secondhand

Wait until the AMD RX 7900 XT / XTX drop, Jensen Huang will put on his cape and compromise on the early adopter price, but it will all depend on how well AMD really measures up. I still question AMD's "up to" marketing with their launch.

Secondhand is for peasants.

We need combination smileys.

Will wait for the Radeon cards but for now it's looking like I will skip this gen..nothing that isn't insanely priced that justify's upgrading from a 3080.

 

[Jean Claude Vaaldamme]

Secondhand is for peasants.

Yet you complain about the prices?
Think the 2080ti guys paid also close to 30k two or so years ago, now you can pick them up for 6k. What a bargain. Why pay 6k for a shitty entry level card new?

Peasants should only speak when spoken to.

Ignoring price, but this RTX 4080 Neptune seems very nice to have,

Greta Thunberg approved.

This is the complaint, it has nothing to do about the last couple of years.
MSRP at release
RTX 3090 $1,499
RTX 4090 $1,599
RTX 3080 $699
RTX 4080 $1,199

Hopefully you can see the issue at hand?

Yes, and what was the actual street price?

Yes, and what was the actual street price?

Due to crypto mining and scalpers it was much higher.
4080 shouldn't be $1,199, some AIB cards are as high as $1,499

I know, but only a few hundred sold the first day for that $699. MSRP was never at $699 again, maybe now.
Thats not my point. The point is, people bought 2080ti, 3080's and now 4080's for close to 30k only to lose a huge amount of money to buy the next hype the next year.

If your looking for a 3060ti, it's easy to find one secondhand for R5500/R6000
That was not possible a few months back. Rand dollar determines the price of new cards.

Definitedly but just becareful its not a mined card your picking up. As lot of the people selling those cards either bought them from miners. Make sure to do the test and its nice if you can get one with a warranty.
