100% I would do the same. Market is a mess right now with no sign of improving.

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

As someone who has only recently got a new 4090 my thoughts are that I personally won’t part with my 4090 TUF OG OC for less than £1,500. No matter what happens after the 5090 is out.
I’m sure others will sell theirs a fair bit cheaper with wayyyy less warranty, but mine is only two months old and never hits above 42c so I’m extremely happy with it.
If I got a 5090 for MSRP and couldn’t sell my 4090 for £1500+ I’d sell the 5090 for what I paid for it instead.

A 4090 just provisionally sold for 1350 after the seller ignored offers in the 1250 range, 'as that's what previous cards had sold for, on the MM. It wasnt a particularly expensive one to start with (Zotac) either.
I think the prediction made by myself and others isn't being incredibly vindicated.
The high(er) price and next to non existent availability of the 5090 combined with the rubbish 5080 likely means 4090 used prices won't be trending back down again for a few months yet...

If it comes with a good chance of a warranty back up from the initial seller it pretty much blows paying circa £2,500 for a 5090, you can't even buy at the price anyway, out of the water value wise whilst providing most of the performance.

Sorta the same here - but I suppose we held out to wait; it could have gone either way, and it didn't go ours!
Yeah, it's commanding 2000 on auction sites lol, for now anyway, things will probably change once 5090 stock normalises in 3 months

The 4070 super can be had for £549 right now. I doubt the 5070 is gonna beat it.
Yeah things went north quickly lol

Ti for sure, double your VRAM.

I think the Ti would be worth it (assuming you can get one), not sure the 5070 will beat the 4070S by much.
Depending on timelines (and unless you're tied to nV tech), the new AMD cards will hopefully be worth consideration.
Would be nice if they'd hurry up and actually announce something (spec/price/perf) though
As heaton said though, you'll definitely want to increase VRAM (and I think 16GB should be a minimum!)
edit: I wouldn't bank on a substantial price drop on 4080(S), as Gibbo said in another thread, they're getting smarter about clearing the channel... tbh I think they may have deliberately limited stock on the new gen to clear back-stock, given that the new gen (sub 5090, some people will buy the fastest whatever happens) are a bit of a disappointing uplift!

I sold my 4090 FE for an insane amount and I bought at MSRP, so literally made money
