Who not wait for 3080Ti next year? If it follows the trend of past generations it'll yield performace between the 3090 and standard 3080 and hit that sweet spot on price.

Well two main reasons.

I want to play Cyberpunk this holiday

There's always going to be new technologies the more you wait. 3080 Ti next year 4080 the year after that, etc. I like to get in on the launch cycle so I can upgrade when the next launch comes in.

I understand. I also want to play Cyberpunk as soon as possible, but I'll wait a little bit longer. I have to replace several parts (PSU, RAM, Motherboard, and probably CPU) and get a new monitor so it's going to cost me quite a bit. By the time the Ti cards come out, perhaps the insane prices on SSD and RAM here have gone down again as well (150$ for a 1TB disk is too much, and decently clocked RAM will cost me 230$ now for 32GB).

There's always gonna be new stuff, that much is true, but for me, the jump will be massive sitting on a 980Ti right now. A 3080Ti is probably 5,5-6 times faster when it releases.
