4090 price going up?

Starfield. Played. Finished.
Cyberpunk/PL. Played. Finished.

Not a single decent game in the next year or two that even warrants a high-end GPU.

I think some people are selling their paperweights now the good games and ePeen-shine have gone. :)

If you have a 4k 120hz TV/monitor your using your 4090 for every game.

Thing is if you upgrade every two years and sell your current card, the cost is likely to be £500 every two years for a hobby you love and are going to get lots of pleasure from. If you don't sell your going to get a card that is going to comfortably play games for a decade.

Honestly life is too short.
 
However you choose to justify it, the following applies;

If you must have the "best" buy it. If you ask how much it costs you can't afford it.

Everything else is man maths.

Fake edit - there is more nuance than the above glib statement, but you know it's true :)

That assumes everyone can just afford nearly 2k on a graphics card just to play pew pew and vroom vroom games with slightly prettier puddles and bounce lighting. Yes there are people who can afford a 4090 but choose not to spend that amount of money on a card, but there are plenty more who can't afford that in the first place.

True but you don't need a card tha powerful. If you can get on that ladder though it's a good thing. Originally I thought I'd always be content on a xx80 card, but getting this one makes it a lot more likely I can upgrade to a 5090 next gen.
 
I mean as much as we consumer's don't like it, Nvidia as a company has never been more profitable. Should marketing conditions change (AI or AMD etc) then we might see price drops.
