When the Gpu's prices will go down ?

Not to mention nothing I have played or plan to play in that time frame needs the extra grunt.

That's why I picked up the XTX, at Ultrawide it just doesn't need a 4090 unless you are keeping it for 5yrs then it should serve well! Throttles it quite badly too from what I've seen vs 4080/S.

Similarly, tempted by the 7900GRE for £500 but again, think I've just been conditioned to think it's acceptable!

I got one and I'm pretty happy with it, at some point you just have to set a budget and see what's the best you can get.
Of course I was coming from a RX590 so your urgency may vary...

There's a 4080 Super now under £900 from a large retailer. I think that's the cheapest it's been

Good for him TBH. He got out before the madness.

Keep looking at used cards like 6900 for £400 and have to remind myself that £400 for a 4 year old card is not a deal regardless of the context!

I dunno, if someone offered me a working 1962 Austin Healy for 1/3 of the original £1362 asking price I'd bite their hand off

(for the avoidance of doubt I am, absolutely, taking the mick )

I think Noxia meant the madness that comes from hanging around the Graphics Cards forum for too long.

I'm thinking about upgrading my 3060Ti FE to a 4070 FE, mainly for VR. I'm not sure if the 4070 Super would really be worth the extra £50 though?

Any thoughts on this, or should I be looking at something else in similar budget? (c.£550)

I can't see Nvidia's pricing changing any time soon, especially on the back of this....

Nvidia's market value has surged past $3tn (£2.3tn), lifting the chip giant ahead of Apple to become the second most valuable publicly listed company in the world.

Nvidia value hits $3tn, overtaking Apple

Nvidia has been marked out as a winner from a wave of investments in artificial intelligence.

That's incredible and yeah can't imagine that's good news for gamers

I can only see people moving away from Nvidia GPUs as a benefit to PC gaming.

The sooner that happens the better and hopefully this forum will also move on from the endless crying about Nvidia and their pricing.

Our only hope is that the margins will awaken some more dormant IP holders.
Shall we go to Canada and find some dark ritual to release the kraken Matrox from its niche slumber?

Can't see that happening. Just one look at Intel and their struggles tells me that.

Nvidia would be wise not to dump too hard on their gaming devision. The AI gravy train might not be forever as companies start to make their own ASICs. Only so much they can take the **** with their pricing.

If I was in charge at Nvidia I would just milk gamers with the deep pockets but seem relatively sane (not cheap) for the mid range.
