I wouldn't say I have 'no limit', but assuming that the resale loss of this new gen is similar to this gen, a £3000 card that I can resell in 2 years for £2500 is essentially no different to a £2000 card that I can resell in 2 years for £1500.
That is of course ignoring the fact that either option is a bad idea compared to using said cash to buy Nvidia shares and reselling those in 2 years, but that option doesn't come with raytracing.

nvidia too has an upper limit and its the price of their halo professional workstation graphics card which is around 6k, maybe you could expand that to 8k as a buffer
if thats the price where they draw a line for corporate buyers, i am sure the semipros and gamers etc wont be able to cross that price range in enough quantities to be worthwhile for nvidia
i believe for gamers its going to be much lower than that, but lets say for conservative purposes 8k is a hard stop for the market, realistically speaking it could be 2.5k in today's prices, but thats a subjective call, call it a hunch
and that would be cutting it too close if you are going about pricing a product to achieve sufficient volume

No ones going to pay 2.5k for a used card though, very few would pay that new and anyone with that sort of money would just buy new at the start of the cycle.

I wouldn't be so sure. People are selling used 4090s right now for £1700. It's an EOL card and new ones cost £2.4k right now on OCUK.
The AI bros and the Chinese are hoovering them up.
I think once you get above 2k though it’ll be a psychological barrier to many especially for used hardware.

also to note that FE cards will always be looked at more favorably then aftermarket ones

are they really ok that is interesting...
No luck here, Nvidia has stopped sending FE cards to the southern hemisphere for the last two generations

Pretty sure people said that about £1000 cards, now it's the norm.
I wouldn't say its the norm when its only 1% of buyers spending 1k+
Everyone is overpaying for graphics cards.
I dunno, I got my used 4090 early last year for 1k so not everyone.

I'm waiting for actual power requirements of the 5090 to come out, to see if my MSI A850G is enough.
If it isn't, what are the good options at 1000W/1200W+?

1200w+ in any case

Oh dear. Its funny how you were not part of any naysayer speak when this was pointed out at least three years ago but is now a boiler plate segment of many posts...
Think it's in reference to Nv's Ampere 3080FE flagship 4K gpu-'10Gb enough drama' excuses.
It was just one game-wasn't it?
On my time with the 80FE@4K(and other users) it was more like, another one, then another one, another one, another one...
It's not once impacted my XTX no matter any 'unoptimised' game it's ran, it cost £965 2/3 months after launch.
How many times has vram affected your gaming experience on the 90?
Considering the cheapest Nv gpu with 16Gb launched@£1200 -it's always always always the devs fault, hmm, no it's NV's fault/
Yes games are unoptimised but if there was adequate vram to begin with, using 6800 v 3070/6800XT v 3080 in TLOU(etc), why doesn't it break on AMD too, is it because they have more?
This gen it's worse, vrams been holding back my 70@1440p from the off=choking the 70ti harder, how much did they cost?
Imo, 'UNOPTIMISED' it's the biggest get out clause ever, and the more it's used as an excuse, the longer(and it's looking like it)Nv will lowball us with vram on their ever increasing PP's going forwards.
VRAM is top of the list on my gpu's-for the way I play my games, finding it hard to justify the cost of going Nv this gen and looking like no upgrades for my systems as AMD's bringing nothing to the table for my needs.

Are they though? Genuine question.
I haven't been actively monitoring and yeh a few people on here have done good with resales, but beyond that I'm really not sure how many are selling at these prices… most of us on here wouldn't pay £1,700 used (this is absurd) nor £2.4k new (ditto), so I doubt it's very many. Heck, most of us didn't want to pay £1,700 new for it at launch.

The average is £1400-£1,500 regardless of model. So the top end cards in great condition could go for a bit more.

Irrelevant, the game is unoptimised and always has had runaway VRAM< use. It will happily eat up around 17GB of VRAM and at times reached 22GB which is quite clearly a memory leak. It also has traversal stutter to this very day.
