The 4080 is such a scam tbh. It a good product with a nonsensical price. But in all honestly not that great of a generational uplift considering the downsides of power size and price to last generation hardware.
I'm more inclined to buy a mid range AMD card next year if Nvidia starts bumping up prices for SKU's all round. Or look for a good second hand 3080 on Ebay. Because F supporting these shitty prices and enabling and encouraging them to keep sky high prices.
The value of these cards are pretty shocking to be honest with no real movement in performance per dollar/pound/euro unless you get a $1600 graphics card. Or a $1000 card which only performs similarly to last gen's 3090Ti in Raytracing. Raster performance is good enough at 3080 levels of performance, at 4K anything more is a bonus.
