Dam, i got a FE 4090 with less than 10 hours use, was in its original box unopened for 12 months before even put in new pc, was offered like £2500K at the time for it, should have took it, if i was offered £1400 for my 4090 now, would snap there arm off and accept probably.

What will the 50 series launch mean for used 40 series prices?

I think if you snap their arm off they may not be too happy about giving you £1400…
Used graphics card prices have actually peaked. I think its because of the lack of stock at retailers.
Used cards are reaching close to their MSRPs when selling. Normal 4070 is selling at 450+, 4070 super at 500+, 4070 ti super at 700+ etc.
The number of higher end cards >4080 has really dried up on ebay as well.

The uplift in performance over the RTX 4000 is around 33% for the 90 series, and around half that for the 80 series, and less than 10% for the 70ti. According to leaks.
Therefore, unless people really need new "shiny thing". Then I don't think 4000 series GPU's are going to lose as much value as people think. Because the gains for actual frames per second are tiny compared to the 65% increase of the RTX 3080 vs the RTX 2080, are none existent, with the 4000 to 5000 jump, unless you get an RTX 5090 GPU, for around 2.5k? I predict FE models will be in short supply and AIB's will mark-up by £500.00...
Nvidia does it again. Poor value. Unless you crave those fake frames.
Why do you think the MSRP for the 70, 70ti and 80 cards are the same or less than the previous models? Answer, the performance is not there to exploit the consumer.

I think the relase of the 5090 will paradoxically *increase* prices for 2nd hand 4090's.
5090 largely paper launch and unless you can get a rocking horse **** FE you're likely paying £2,300+ for something that, in gaming, just isn't that more impressive than a 4090 and which consumes an even more inordinate amount of energy.
5090 will likely have some more attraction for non gaming applications which will only aggravated afermentioned high pricing and low availability.
4090 prices have dipped in anticipation of a new generation as some seek to offload but some of thoose that have sold up early may well yet be left disappointment and in some cases wmpthy handed, GPU wise, for a bit unless they're willing to pay silly money £2,500+ prices.

Over a long enough timeline sure.
But its demonstrably not true that second hand prices for things like GPU's are immune from going up as well as down.
I think people need to start getting used to te idea of Fake Frames. Clearly it is the way the industry is going and i do not think the idea will suddenly be amandoned. Resolutions will get higher, ray tracing and path tracing will become mandatory in more and more games. Fake Frrames are here to stay (even in consoles)
The availability of the 4090 in the 2nd hand market is, I would argue, at the lowest point of supply NOW. Supply of 2nd hand 4090s is only going to increase when the 5000 series launches.
I cant see a situation post 5000 series launch where the 4000 series 2nd hand value has a material increase with what can only be an increase in supply.

That would buy a lot of hammers.

I think the 4090 will hold much of its value until the fabled 5080 TI/Super with 24GB of VRAM hits. If rumours are to be believed, there won't be many 5090's made available and clearly Nvidia's priority now is AI (and they have no competition in the high end gaming GPU sector either) so it's unlikely to improve much this year. Still, I can see it fluctuate as a load of 4090's flood the market soon, but that initial used supply will likely be swallowed up quickly and dry up again. The market is in a real mess and we really need AMD's 9070 cards to come in and disrupt it...

Seeing as all 4000 series owners are hanging onto their cards, wont be any 2nd hand ones to buy

Not sure about the UK, but over here 4090's have almost disappeared from auction sites, it's like either someone quickly bought everything or sellers decided not to sell, only remaining listings are a handful of people asking a ridiculous $2000 for a 4090 that came out of a mining rig. not sure about other 4000 series models
