I'd flog the 3090 Ti, use the money in a couple of months to buy a 4080 and keep the change. Should be around 40-50% faster than a 3090 Ti and more power efficient. Skipping a generation with a massive leap in performance doesn't make much sense, that 3090 Ti with loads of memory won't look nearly as appealing when it's getting demolished by new GPU's and electricity prices are through the roof.

I'm not getting it for another 2 months by which time the 4000 series will be out which will quite likely be a lot more expensive than what I'll be paying and electricity won't be a factor really as my main game is FF14 which I limit the FPS to 60, The card will practically be asleep XD

Spot on. That’s why I upgrade every gen :)

When you ask people soon what do you prefer a 3090 Ti with its 24GB or a 4080 with 16GB, almost all will go for the latter :D

No chance, 16GB won't be enough for the 4080.

I doubt a 3080 will drop to £200 considering that is around the price point of the 6500XT which in turn is no faster than cards that were released at similar price points 5 years ago so you can bet that a 4050 or 7500XT isn't coming close to 3080 performance.

I have a feeling a used 3080 will settle around £350 as it will probably just lose to a £400+ 4060ti but should beat a 4060.

Losing £300 on the cards resale value after 2 years of use is pretty reasonable, compare this to a 3090 which will likely drop to around £450-500 you've lost £900 odd which in itself would buy you a top end 4080 model.
Gotta admit I'm super glad my 3080Ti was effectively free after selling my old card.

so when is the 4000 series official announcement?

October? then ready to ship December?
No official announcement date yet. However, the new atx 3.0 PSUs are starting to emerge with a few more released in September no doubt to coincide with the 4xxx launch. So would probably put my money on a September announcement with October release.
