I also feel like nvidia is sort of pressured into putting higher prices on their models since these new cards are fucking beasts. Like if you have 4090 there is no reason to think you will not be able to run new releases at 1440p ultra 60+ fps especially considering dlss 3 exist. Even these "mid end gpu's" like 4060 will just destroy everything. That wasn't the case during 600, 700, 900 series. If you wanted to play at max settings you had to get 80 series but with anything else there were compromises going to be made, but now the cards are so powerful you don't even need the best and hottest stuff on market, so in the name of infinite growth they just keep pumping up the price.

Eh the exact same thing could have been said about the 10 series. 8 years later and the 1080 holds up really well.

No display port 2.1 and that they are stingy with VRAM doesn't mean the current gen is good long term tbh. I get you're saying the value proposition long term is good but I don't think so.

You can also buy an electric flyable drone with a pilot seat and 30 mins of range. Faster than a car, can go anywhere - why not get one? Oh yeah, the fucking price is about 200.000 and a car gets the job done at the fraction of the cost and is better regulated.

What I'm saying is, Power is cool and all, but if it is not affordable and costs more than the rest of the PC combined, than who the fuck is gonna buy that? Should I pay my rent, or get this GPU? No wonder no one is gonna buy those cards
