i do think it is expensive yes but literally everything has gone up. i bought a motorbike last april for roughly double what i would have paid 5-7 years ago. it's the way everything is going. look at food and energy prices. and like i said, i paid just under £1700 for a 3090 in 2020 brand new from amazon. i've just paid virtually the same for a lot more performance and my gaming has a new lease of life. do i wish they were cheaper? ofc i do. but i'm still happy with my purchase i'll get a lot of use out of it. i just sold my old 3080ti for £800 so that helped.In so far as if nvidia are offering you simply a 4090 for >£1700 (have also unreleased one) and yet to buy the real 4080 for £1050 the choice of the hobbyist is not only limited but also about double what was from previous gens (think about the 1080 for £620, 2080 for £680, 3080 for £649). Some folk might be happy about that, but I think the majority will not be!

That doesnt mean you have to accept it!
Look at the 3090Ti release. Within weeks it had been slashed to £1200 so that shows you the insane markup they were gouging from the start!

The market will deal with the scalpers. I just don't think there are as many FOMO buyers as they are gambling there will be. That's why there is more and more scalper stock, piling up, drop after drop.

Nvidia has lost most of them buyers because after paying for it £1879 for an FE and then gets slashed to £1149 a few weeks later at an instant loss of £730 they all did this :-
and ones that survived it well now own a 4090 and then will buy a 4090ti and will never effect them the price.
X80 class buyers have been hit the hardest this time as they are now basically two times the price.... from £650 to now £1269..

no there are four additional sense pins..
i doubt if you'd have a 4090 ti this generation, because of already obscene power ratings.. a titan perhaps might be released, but they wont market it for performance rather they would pair it with 48gb vram and position it for machine learning hobbyists working on large datasets, i dont feel the "bonafide" leakers have got this right

Yup, it may be faster and have more ram but basically 2x the price from 2 years ago? Give it another year or 2 and these will be £1500 minimum with how things are going. Utter pisstake.

its daylight robbery though i can still digest nvidia's pricing because its a gpu, but somehow i dont see amd getting the same amount of flak for zen 4 motherboards, could we call this favoritism?
Depends what market you're in, looking for a gpu or a motherboard, seen plenty of comments on different forums about the zen 4 mobo pricing.

a motherboard for me has the same importance as glue when used in furniture while a gpu is supposed to be the actual furniture.. and thats generally how people look at motherboards, but if people are okay buying 100$ cable packs, we shouldnt be even having this discussion

AMD Cuts Down Ryzen 7000 "Zen 4" Production As Demand Drops Like a Rock
AMD reportedly scaled down production of its Ryzen 7000 series desktop processors in response to bleak demand across the PC hardware industry. Wccftech claims to have read an internal company document calling for reduced supply to the channel as market response to the Ryzen 7000-series is weak...
production reduced and prices will come down next. AMD4 motherboards and even the intel boards are silly prices for the ddr5 pcie 5 boards.
Both the 40 series and 30 series use it.

But the hardest hit will be mainstream and entry level gamers,because the RTX4050 and RTX4060 will be based on a relatively worse dGPU. As result the generational increase(compared to the RTX4090) is most likely to be less and the dGPUs will cost much more too.

I still don't understand how it works i was waiting on the Nvidia site just before 2pm on release day and as soon as it went live boom out of stock the only way anybody got one on launch day must have been using a bot.
Was the exact same for the 3080 launch, it instantly went out of stock and that was it. Apparently the leaders in ai can't figure out hows to stop bots on their site...
