Oh I agree. Don't see it dropping to £799 anytime soon. Maybe for clearance in a year or so. But that does not mean it is worth that. The very max I would pay is £799 assuming I would get a decent price on my 3080 Ti.
I would be okay with £749 and be happy with £699.
This is assuming it happens in the next 6 month's. After that I am not sure I would even bother at those price as would be 12 months away from next gen. And I do think this time we will get a meaningful upgrade in price for performance relative to this gen.
Also once i have played Starfield and Cyberpunk Expansion there really is nothing else on the horizon that is must play for me that looks like will need more horsepower than those games. So what's the point.
Only other games I am really looking forward to are Sony ports and can't see why they would be any more demanding than Cyberpunk. DLSS really helps
Exactly.

Way I would justify it is selling my 3080 Ti for at least the price I paid for it which was £575. If I can't then would not bother even at that price because as you say you would just feel mugged off. I mean not like I need it. It is just a want.

I gave up ages ago and just bought an Xbox series x and I'm using gamepass, is it the greatest graphics/frame rates etc.. Nope, but it's fine and does the job for the amount of free time I have to play games these days. It's not worth spending an extra 1500+ quid or more to get the latest stuff in my opinion. I think there slowly killing the pc gaming thing with these crappy prices, it's not an essential thing for anyone, it's just a hobby, it's only worth spending so much I believe.
You missed crappy PC ports off that list too.

Me too. But they won't price it like that. Not until next gen is about to come out I don't think. But maybe next gen they get the idea of how far they can push it when no mining going on and price their line up properly.
When you look at the most popular cards on the steam hardware survey then that is still true.
Indeed. The RTX 3070 is the only card in the top twelve with an MSRP of over $400, with the other eleven all being 50-series or 60-series models from Pascal onwards and covering 39.92% of the Steam userbase between them.
Adjusted for inflation $400 in 2007 is about $600 today. Seems like that's true of most people.
I mean technically the 3080 was 650£ and most people i know did get it at this price, just the impatient few that overpaid for it.

I don't think it's unreasonable that they didn't see COVID coming and the Government mandated lock downs which destroyed supply lines just at the point when demand was exploding. It really was a stars aligning once a century kind of event.
Clearly they were wrong but I don't think it would have been anywhere near as bad without all those events lining up.

Nvidia did more than fine out of Covid and lockdowns tbh.
