They really need to change that.if they can. You have 30 seconds to be in the site you need to be at come launch day and I won't be taking a chance this time if I don't know the price of some, but do others.
The 4080 FE was easy to get at launch last time, it was in stock for ages (sometimes days) but I guess that due to the price at the time.

Not at the moment, as my whole system needs upgrading first.

Yeah the top tier hits different in terms of demand.
Yeah i should clarify in my post i am purely on about the 4090
Only if you needed the VRAM, the $2k price to me is silly and should have been no more than $1.5K for the 5090 this generation, they are taking the micky really.
Time for a revised poll?
You can change your vote now, I just changed mine.. to NO, from on the fence.
The 4080 is a legit 4k card. It's currently the second best card out there
It was overpriced, but it's a 4k card.

Not getting one, it's not as if my 4090 is suddenly no good anymore, lol, and what with DLSS4 things will actually improve for those so little many games that will make the 4090 suddenly struggle with ( sarcasm mode ). Good for those on 3000 series who want to upgrade
If the 5080 beats the 4090 in pure raster, and I can buy one for under 1130 or so USD, I probably won't be able to resist.
Or if they somehow make DLSS 4 with VR so that I never have to worry about dropping below whatever again, that would be too hard to resist. I feel like that should be easier than quadrupling frames? But IDK anything about that stuff

Same feels like a refresh of the 4000 series more than anything

well you will get the upscaling benefits from DLSS4 in VR with titles that support that, but that's about it.
IMHO the 5080 simply doesn't have enough CUDA cores to reach 4090 perf, the only thing it seems to do better is the display ports and AI TOPS but that it. So it will do its multi-frame gen thing but in terms of rasterisation its a 4080 Super with a bit more memory bandwidth

looking to go on holiday for £2k in June for 4 of us as kids school have a week off when other schools are in term due to shorter summer holidays so we can pick non stupid prices.
If you have £2k for a GPU then all good to your wallet its your money you can spend it on what you want. Its when you start to think what else you can get for £2k it starts to be rather ridiculous and reality dawns on you. The 3090 I got cost me £900 and I had to hide that from the other half

I get what you are saying and agree. However there are different factors for different people. I like you can't justify it based on lack of game time. However some get a lot more game time or just have more disposable income.
Not to mention, with a bit of skill you buy it for say 2K and sell it for 1.6K or something like that 18-24 months later when next gen is getting closer.
A lot of people see it as 2K gone forever. Nope, you can recycle that money over and over. I have been doing it for 20 years now. I don't even think I have lost on 1K total in all that time. Though it helps I made profit on a bunch of GPU's also.
I do it with other things I buy also. If not using it, goes on sale.
