Not that I bought my 4090 for it's resale value but with the way things are going, these flagship gpus might end up appreciating in value instead of depreciating or depreciating at a lower rate than expected. If Ai market continues to increase in demand, all 3 companies will prioritize enterprise over consumers for sure and vram will either be limited or the higher vram gpus will increase in price.

The best play really is to buy the best gpu within your budget range and stick to it for as long as possible and then upgrade when the opportunity arises instead of waiting.

My old RX 580 was a good GPU that appreciated.

Bought it for something like $300 AUD and sold it for $800 AUD during the Crypto boom, which paid for the RX 6600XT which was $800 at the time.
Doubled my performance for free.

Now the value has dropped out and it's down to $100-$200.

Sometimes you need to play the market.

I have a pair of identical 3DFX Voodoo 2 12MB cards that I could probably score over $1,500 AUD as they work great in SLI, not bad for 30 year old hardware.
