The only 3080s available here go for 1400$ and up now, 1600$+ for the Ti version. 3060Ti also goes for a minimum of 600$—mad pricing on last gen, just like the current.

There's no proper, discernable reason for GPUs to be this expensive. I'm glad I didn't wait any longer, the situation was supposed to sort itself out once stock filled up and the crypto craze died down along with the pandemic, but no such luck. I just looked at some prices on the 4070, it sits right along the same price as my 980Ti did when it first launched, and that was king of the hill back then (my EVGA cost about 820$ in 2015 when I built my rig).

I feel like because of the way the world is atm (covid lingering, war on the EU side, Recession kicking in, crypto still hanging around, Nvidia being greedy), that some retailers and ppl selling those cards are just being non-ashamedly greedy, because those are last gen cards, ppl want the latest, or at least middle best of the latest, so there isn't any real need to raise the prices of last gen cards to current gen prices.

It just comes off as pure selfish greed.

I've not had this big of an issue with GPU's since forever ago, and these days it's either out of stock or well beyond my price reach, or just a shit line-up. Like what a laughable and bad state GPU's are in atm.
