Someone will be along soon to argue with you as to the meaning of flagship. Was fun watching people going mad over it when nvidia named the 3080 their flagshipTuring flagship is the RTX Titan and very nice and compact they are too even with 24gb of VRAM.
Sadly they were sold at a stupidly high price.
Supers due in Jan and 4000's in Oct 22

Thoughts? Annoyed? Couldn't care less?
I'm sure the 3090 Super will annoy the current 3090 owners who thought they got the cream of the crop?
3060 Super cards going for £700+
3090 Super for £2k?
I'm not sure I understand why you think a 3090 Super would annoy current 3090 owners although I may be missing something. You are suggesting that people "thought" they got the cream of the crop although wasn't that true, and still is? I've never bought a GPU expecting it to retain top position for more than a year anyway, and also can't think of many who would. There's nothing to be annoyed about by a better card being released over a year later. This is more about value than having the top card.
I personally won't be annoyed as I paid £1399 for a 3090FE last year and have been happily gaming on it since then without having to live by stock updates or contend with the annoyance of looking at an incomplete new build in the corner. That alone was worth the price difference over a virtually non-existent 3080 although it's also come into its own for FS2020 in VR. If a card marginally beats this one but comes in at £2000 over a year later I won't, in the least bit, be annoyed. What I would have been annoyed with was deciding to hold out for 3080ti only to struggle to get one and then pay more for a very similar but, nonetheless, lower spec card months down the line. A 3090 in the hand is worth more than 2 3080's in the bush.
Again, I may be missing something though.
True, have my fingers crossed for widespread improvement.......but all things being whispered about now don't paint a particularly hopeful picture :/Just wait until we get there a lot could change by then.

Yeh I think I may be in the same boat.Will be giving the Super's and RTX 4xxx a miss personally.
Have spent far more than I wanted to on a 3070 and 3080 Ti.
So the ONLY way it may happen is if I can sell a card high nearer the time that would pretty much cover the cost of a new card.
But I certainly will not be putting any new freshly earned cash towards one.

it`ll be the RTX 3090 SUPER with the full fat GA102 with 10752 cuda cores (unless NV are making more money from the A6000 with the same core)
and maybe an RTX 3080 super with 9000 odd cores?
Are the 4-series meant to be MCM? Or is that going to be the 5-series cards?
If there’s only an incremental increase for the 4-series I’ll be skipping it and sticking with my 3090FE for another couple of years. Can’t see there being a massive generational leap until multi-core GPU’s are a thing.
Nope, not MCM, that will be 5000 series according to rumours. Also apparently there will be a nice leap. I can easily see the 4070 matching or beating a 3090 with much better RT for example.Are the 4-series meant to be MCM? Or is that going to be the 5-series cards?

What is MCM, is that the likely price?
£1900

Multi Chip Module
So not monolithic. Which is what all GOU’s have been to date.
My understanding is AMD's next gen stuff might be MCM. But this far as I say no MCM GPU's have ever come out, monolithic only.Does AMD not use MCM? I thought they experimented with it.
