I've skipped the 30 whatever series. I have a 2080Ti and will buy a 4080Ti if available and price isn't crazy. That said, I assume when the 4 series launches, miners will take all the available inventory, which means gamers will be left with the glut of 3 series.

By my reckoning, nothing changes...gamers will still suffer on price and availability, regardless if crypto stays down or not.

I miss the days when you could wait a few months after launch and get good deals. Those days are long gone.


There is nothing you can do, unfortunately. The only thing which would hit close to the wallet for these corps is to prove there was price fixing, market manipulation, anti-competitive practices and even then, the government will likely give them a slap on the wrist and turfing of the CEO and board members via investor law suit, but then they'd be right back at it, but in a different way.

The fact of the matter is that there are only 2 players in this game, so competition will never fully drive prices down to a reasonable level and it looks like Intel crapped the bed with their latest.

Enjoy your hobby and gaming knowing you've been around to play with a lot of cool tech and games.

People tend to forget that you do not need bleeding edge tech to enjoy your video games nor your experiences. I refused to buy any gouging. Again the Reference AMD 5700 reference design was a sleeper design. I bought it new @280 dollars. I down volt it and going very good frame rates with a cool video card. In November it will be 3 years of solid performance. So when I see the next generation come online. I might buy one. It depends on the Wattage for me and not really the overall price.

But I am really looking at the AMD 6800. I am thinking this will undervolt very well.
