I'm sure it will be a 70 class, priced as a previous 90 class.

I had a 3090 FE during the pandemic as I couldn’t get a 3080 until much later on. Tbh I felt sick paying £1400 and sold it on for a few hundred more thanking the universe for not letting me lose any money.
What did you replace it with? Managed to snag a 3080FE at MSRP?

Long story, 3080 then a 3060ti, 7900xt (sold for cash flow) and finally ended with a 7800xt- hopefully will last a few years at 1440p.

Yes with some losses all profit was gone. I ended up £200 in loss. C’est la vie.That's an incredible amount of buying and selling, I'm going to guess the profit from the 3090 sale soon got wiped out
That's not too bad at all considering you managed to try two flagship products during peak madness of the scalper years!
the top card from NV for me is never a gaming card, but more is a power card that lets just see if people buy it. very much like the 4090.. and the 5090 is said to be about £2300 why would NV not make one if people will buy it.
but i think the top end NV card are entry lvl business class.. they just happen to be good at gaming
every gen is different
like with the 3080 vs 3090 it wasn't worth paying the extra at all for a 3090
But with the 4080 vs 4090 it was worth paying the extra for a 4090 over the 4080 high price on release

They must be used for something with its 24GB RAM and 16000 cuda cores. It’s great amazing rendering power for scenes and content creators etc

i wish halo nvidia cards went back to pre pandemic pricing haha 3080 was a great jump in performance even over a 2080Ti which i come from.
Unfortunately nothing will ever go back to pre pandemic pricing :/
I think that they will be good for some users, but for 99% they aren't needed
And people are still crying about the 4090 being so much better than the 4080 to this day!

lol - crying 
I think its the face the 3090 had 10,496 CUDA cores and the 4090 has 16,000.
The 3080 had 8,000 odd depending on the 10GB/12GB version
The 4080 has 9700 and the super 10,200 so the difference between 3080/3090 and 4080/4090 was significant.
Enough to make a big difference

Covid and scalpers defo pushed up the prices and availability so it was crazy time. Even the 2080 super I bought on here during covid was £550
i hear that, i got a new 5600xt for £350 and sold it for £400 during covid after an upgrade.
i had people messaging me wanting to pay a lot more if i let them have it after the sale.
