If by people you mean miners and scalpers... then sure, technically Nvidia got the sale.

I'm looking forward to the reviews on this card.

If it can do 2x the performance of the 3080 and be under 400W its ok in my book.
Undying
You know what else it does? 2x the price. Not ok in my book.

Put it this way, IF AMD prices the RX 7900 XT at about the 850-1000USD mark, and the RX 7900 XTX at about 1.2k-1.3k USD, it'd be a no brainer as to which card to choose. I don't care for fake frame generation myself, I want raw performance numbers, that means no DLSS/FSR/whatever the crap Intel call theirs.

i'm pretty sure mining is no longer the reason for current pricing as far as i know its not really profitable and miners have been dumping cards, its all greed and nvidia has already stated they're controlling the supply of new cards they put out to artificially keep pricing high (they didn't say it was to keep prices high but we all know)

So buy a 4090 then 😀

It's not twice the price. Unless you got a 3080 FE from Best Buy. But whatever, haters gonna hate 😎

Once they got a taste for that mining gpu money they simply cannot go back.

This clearly shows that at Nvidia, $$$$$ has less to do with design/ engeneering costs or component quality/ manufacturing costs + inflation has almost no impact at all (maybe a plus of $100). It´s solely another "Nvidia image rip-off price finding process", as almost all pcbs are running through the same soldering line, I fear ultra low pcb quality doesn´t get better. An irrational and far from reality price tag made me almost skip ADA altogether again, like I did with Ampere for good reason. A cheap used Ampere GPU could do it for me until 5090/ 6090. Recently I saw a 3090TI new for €1200.-, though heavy up/ down price jumps right now.

I got my 3080 FE for £650. This gen is easy to avoid for me, I'd sooner drop down to 1440p again than bend over and take it from Mr Huang.
Don't expect any relief from AMD, either.

Looking at all the differences between the 4090 and the 4080, including the price of both, it makes much more sense to buy the 4090 than the 4080.
It`s almost like the main role of the 4080 is to make the 4090 shine even more...
This doesn`t change the fact that both are expensive as hell...

I agree with this. I've been gaming at 4k for a few years now. But I think I would rather drop to 1440p than spend this kind of stupid money on a card. Might try to see if I can get by until 5000 series before buying something. If game delays continue how they have been, it'll be no problem. And just because covid is slowing down, I still expect delays, as they were pretty rampant before covid.

For the love of God i just cannot digest the huge price increase on this rtx 4080 gpu's , it feels so , so wrong 🙁 . What's next rtx 4070 for $900-$1,000US Dollars ? when will this non sense price hike for greed stop ???
BLEH!
Glad I picked up a 2nd hand Vega 56 for under £200...
chispy
Meanwhile in Europe ... 😱

I'd rather buy volcano insurance

They will sell every one they make.

The price will no doubt be relative to the performance, if it beats the 4090 then expect it to cost around the same, if its slower than a 4090 then expect it to be a fair bit cheaper.
They will no doubt try to slightly undercut the price of the equally performing NV card, its business.

As I've said before, if you're going to spend 4 figures on a GPU, why not just go all-out? Surely, you're not really on that tight of a budget to get a GPU like this. The only reason why something like this might make sense is if you don't have room to cool a 4090.
Well, the fact of the matter is, you can tell a difference in a lot of cases. Seems to me most of the features of DLSS are a bit narrow in their usefulness. Some yield a negligible loss in fidelity for a major improvement, some yield an unacceptable loss in fidelity. The problem is, sometimes it's just one thing that ruins it. Using the F1 example mentioned earlier, from what I could tell, everything except the tags above the racers looked acceptable. Considering that game already yields high frame rates without any fancy AI, I would say it just isn't worthwhile.
