Agreed. The prices are bad as in really bad.
Here are Danish store i got my card from. The ASUS RTX 4090 TUF was really a no brainer compared to RTX 4080 tuf/stric pricing. Not much more, but a significant performance boost from 4080 to 4090.
All prices are in Dkr. converted to USD including danish tax. As you can see prices are stupidly close. 4090 was not a tuf desision to make when i see what prices are between 4080 and 4090.
