Newegg Listings of Custom RTX 4090 Graphics Cards Indicate Pricing-Sanity Slowly Returning
As with the recent pre-launch listing of 13th Gen Core desktop processors, US retailer Newegg put out listings of various custom-design NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 "Ada" graphics cards, revealing their launch prices. These prices appear close enough to the $1,599 baseline price set by NVIDIA, to conclude that pricing sanity is slowly returning to the graphics card market. A lot will however depend on how the market behaves on October 12, when the RTX 4090 goes on sale; particularly whether scalpers vaporize inventory within minutes. Even if they did, scalpers would only see demand from the niche that actually wants to spend north of $1,600 on a graphics card, there are no crypto-currency miners lining up to buy graphics cards. Especially not after the Ethereum merge.
To illustrate that AIC prices are beginning to appear normal, one needs to look at the pricing of the MSI RTX 4090 SUPRIM Liquid, supposedly MSI's most premium RTX 4090 product, which is priced at $1,749, or just a $150 premium over the NVIDIA baseline. Several cards such as the ASUS TUF Gaming, GIGABYTE WindForce OC, and MSI Gaming (standard), are listed bang on the $1,599 baseline, while their OC siblings are at a small premium. The ASUS ROG Strix O24G is the most expensive card of the lot, priced at $1,999, or a $400 premium.

Still..
Too...
Friggin....
HIGH...... :( :(
Drop or no drop, the prices will have to come down ALOT from these before the average user will buy them, I doubt that even gammrs are that hard up for a new GPU that they would fall for this outrageous scalper mentality nonsense all over again...
I knew that nGreedia would ever consider going back to somewhat "normal" pricing after 2+ years of being able to severely gouge everyone over & over again... lets just hope that AMD can & will put a stop to this BS and release their new cards with moar realistic pricing.... that and the lack of crypto-clugs together might just have a chance of correcting this hellish, greed-rulz-all nightmare :D
Sanity? $1600 for a 4090 that has the wrong type of cooler on it? Uh yeah...cut that by about half and then we can have a discussion about sane pricing.
Highly doubtful the 4090 will even be capable enough to drive the Pimax 12K.
And the rumored upcoming Nvidia models probably won't change much the pricing status:
3060 8GD6 GA106 128bit $279?
3060Ti 8GD6X GA104 256bit $399?
3070Ti 8GD6X GA102 256bit $599?
The real name should be RTX 4090 "WALLET RIPPER EDITION".

Could be a helluva deal for someone looking to get a new rig going with a decent GPU and CPU.
As for the Nvidia cards, yeah, I don't care about this gen. They're just priced way too high for my taste. I'm content with what I got. I can wait another 4-5 years before I might even think about getting something new.
Radeon RX 6950 XT 999$+ Ryzen 9 5950X 798$ = 1898$ lol
For example 5800X3D starting at $399 (street price) and 6750XT is starting from $419, so $819 in total and AMD's site is selling them after rebate at $849!
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
While in April 2009 ATi launched the HD 4890 for 250$, and several months later it was available for less than 200$.
Very great times for GPUs.
Actually, now we are in a recession, so the only thing these skyrocketing prices would do is to dramatically shrink the sales and make the market niche.
No.
