Newegg Listings of Custom RTX 4090 Graphics Cards Indicate Pricing-Sanity Slowly Returning

[trparky]

Other than e-peen measuring, does anyone really need a 4090-series card this time around? Rumor has it that even the 4080-series card is beyond overkill even for the most complicated games at 4K.

Who in there right mind would call 4xxx prices sanity?

Folks that have been conditioned to seeing high prices for the past 2 years.....now that prices aren't "inflated" due to scalping or "low inventory", these set prices look better due to conditioning.

WalletRipper, I like it. Maybe send AMD an email for their next HEDT product

I might do. Maybe i can get a nice reward for naming the next gen Walletripper cpu´s.

For EU expect 4090 around 2000€. 15%-30% tax impact on prices.

I don't understand the outcry about the prices. Of course the prices are going to increase on a new generation especially with the way things are in the world at the moment. Compared to the inflation of many other things we actually need the increase in price seems reasonable to me. These are also very high end cards at the moment. Nobody necessarily needs these cards. If you don't need it or can't afford it, why be bothered by the price? I bought my Strix 2080Ti four years ago for $1,400 and it still handles anything I throw at it easily in 1440p up to the 240Hz of my monitor. So even if you did drop $1,500 to $2,000 on one of these cards it should easily last you for years.

So retailers went sane while Nvidia went insane?

This is a psychological problem that doesn't really need to be understood. There is demand and supply, from which the price is formed. Given the right skills, the price can be bargained down. I prefer to focus my energy on increasing my income and avoid taxes where possible.

I can promise you if I decide you buy which I don’t don’t if I will as my RTX 3090 has many years of AAA play in it but if I decide to buy I will not be buying over MSRP and in fact I will wait for AMD RNDA 3 to come out.

I’m not convinced a faster card is is going to give me better gameplay, there will be a FPS increase but if the isn’t any visual increase or benefit over the 3090 why buy if all that FPS increase doesn’t mean much when your refresh rate remains the same.

My initial thoughts in a nutshell after reading the first few lines of the article, lol.
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.

No discussion for you, go buy 3060 ti .

1600 dollars...sanity? for a gpu? really?

And they will sell out day 1 ,

If the average rasterization performance really is double the 3090ti, I might be interested ... and if there's a good high resolution mini/micro OLED VR headset available at end of year with a FOV that at least matches the Index ... and with pancake / aspheric lenses. The godrays in the fresnel lenses are still annoying.

Highly doubtful the 4090 will even be capable enough to drive the Pimax 12K.

Same bro. If 80%-100% better , then yeah keep my money, Smoke and mirrors though , soon find out. Hope they are as good as they are claimed

Sanity compared to the mining and lockdown induced insanity of the last 2+ years.

From a business perspective, the situation was largely unmanageable from Nvidia and AMD perspective.

Crazy swings in demand and what people are prepared to pay for cards. It takes years to get a card from plan to retail.

Ewwww just one 4k@120 peasants, I want 5 x 4k@120 with Ray tracing at max.


I jest one 4k at 60 is enough for me and Still, my Vega is doing that now in most game's.


Or In other words, good point .

No need, already have a 3090 I got a great deal on a few months ago. It's good to have some restraint when things are priced poorly and wait for reasonable pricing.
