Regardless of what currencies are doing the bigger picture is Nvidia has raised the price of its flagship card by 130% in 4 years and the consumers have welcomed it.
Also people are moaning about AiB costs at £2200+ yet when nvidia releases the 5090FE for that they will be falling over themselves to buy it.

Regardless of the reasons I think we're all agreed, GPU's are too ******* expensive 
(NB rising US interest rates caused other currencies to be dumped and moved into dollars, interest rates should have been gradually raised over years not a few months, we've all become addicted to cheap money

Same could be said for CPU's and Mobo's. Amazing to see how many on here sporting £750 CPU's and £500+ mobo's & £400+ PSU's and cases at £600! Water blocks for £300+.
All very expensive now.

Drop!
Some benchmarks of the 4080 are out at Chiphell. 3 benchmarks so far. More may be posted. The OP of that post says its 15% slower than 4090 so far.

Nothing much can be done about people who queue up to get bent over every 2 years, I bet there's plenty of people looking at eye watering CC bills and are sat there thinking "Why have I bought this really?

Buyer's remorse exists for every type of purchase, doubly so if you've paid a lot of money. I don't think it's fair to suggest that most people would have put the purchase on a credit card though, some people just really do have disposable income or savings to blow on their hobbies.
For me the issue began with the Titan... nvidia threw out a halo card with a massive price tag and lots of people (including reviewers) winced at the price, but the way it was marketed was subtle. Specifially, it "isn't for gaming BUUUUUUUTTTTT it'll give you 4k FPS ftwomg!1one!" so naturally those looking for best performane tried to justify it. At the time when top GPUs cost £500ish there were still people who ran 2 or even 3-way SLI because they could.
Fully agree with what you're saying but I fear nvidia would need to price cards £3k+ and AMD come in with an equally good card at half the price before we actually see people say no.

Some FEs are now £1800 or best offer. Really don’t think the scummy scalpers will bother with the next drop. Clearly demand is not that high for them anymore.

I was reading that discussion and someone posted a SOTTR score with an RTX4090:
Reddit - Dive into anything

That system is 35% faster or the RTX4080 16GB is about 2/3 of an RTX4090. That fits with the fact that the AD103 is 60% of an AD102 and it probably clocks a bit higher consistently.
The problem is that still would put an RTX7950XT above it in rasterisation performance if it is 40% to 50% faster than an RX6950XT:

Results seem all over the place. He just posted that he got 99 FPS in the RDR2 benchmark (vs. 93 FPS by the 7900XTX as per AMD). Not sure if AMD used the built in benchmark for RDR2 or some other scene though.I was reading that discussion and someone posted a SOTTR score with an RTX4090:

I can see a 7900 XTX in your future, with smart access memory enabled on that 5800X3D.looks about 30% faster than my 3080 in Borderlands 3 and 50% faster in Shadow of the Tomb Raider...for twice the price

I thought the same
Take a stand, buy a 4090
I recon Ada will be another Turing for Nvidia and we will get a “my gamer friends, it is now safe to upgrade“ again come next gen cards. May not be as good as Ampere and 3080 offering, but much closer to that than the crap on offer with Ada. Well I hope so anyway.
Looks to me like 4090 sales are drying up already. Bet it will take them a hell of a lot longer to ship their next 100K 4090’s or the one after. Only so many people willing to pay that kind of money.
People are not even willing to pay msrp now £1699 for a brand new sealed 4090 FE. Seeing the same now at a lot of places the scalpers or people that changed their mind now trying to sell them off for what they paid or less.
^... not selling....
Prices are absurd and the issues these cards have is putting a lot of people off now and best thing to do right now is sit and wait for nvidia's statement on the melting issue and wait for them to reduce the prices as there is no need for a card that once cost £1400 to be £300 more now and with neutered features compared to the previous one. Like I said ...
