Idk if it will be that low but I think they will get close unless AMD ends up being equally greedy. Imo Nvidia is trying to bait AMD into announcing a price before they drop their prices because AMD always goes after Nvidia reveals their prices and products and is able to position their products more competitively. Cause the 4080s are already in production and sitting on warehouses ready to be sold. There's basically no reason to wait until November 16th other than to see what AMD is doing first. If you compare that to Ampere where there was no price adjustment, the 3080s and 3090s all launched within a week of each other.

But I think the biggest indication of a price drop coming is the specs because they really don't make much sense. For $400, you are getting nearly a 40-60% performance increase if you go with the 4090 which has over 6000 cuda core difference? I think their strategy is to drop the 4080 price down and reveal the 4080 Ti that will compete more directly against the 7900XT. But we will see what happens in this clown circus of a GPU launch lmao.

That'd be a dick move to us if anything, but I wouldn't put it past Nvidia to wait AMD out to do it. 

I still think this gen of GPU's are joke, though we'll have to wait and see how AMD performs.

Just to be clear, no one thinks that they'll scrap the GPU. What Nvidia and we all say is that they'll rebrand it and launch it under a different name (and price). The questions is which name and what price.

To be honest, the 4090 may have been a success, but not everywhere. There are posts here and in other places telling that the cards had gone out of stock in a matter of minutes, but it's been three days and you can still find 4090 in many stores here in Spain. Not all models, mind you, but some from Inno3D, Gigabyte and Zotac are still available (evidence one and two).

So, either the supply was bigger here than in other places, which seems unlikely, or the demand for such pricey cards isn't as high as they thought.

You'd be surprised, there are normies and the ill-informed that believe some corps will scrap physical products, though all of us here know different.

Btw, while they claim they've sold their stock of 4090's, I assume they are referring to FE models?.

Maybe they have more supply in the EU than they do the US, though they aren't exactly being ultra specific of which regions are out of stock, but I guess them saying "we've sold our current stock" sounds better than "we've only sold out our current US stock, the EU remains stocked", wouldn't you say?.
