That's nice. Where I live, that GPU costs 3600.- Euros. Which is more than my entire PC rig and costs more than what I paid for my 2002 Mazda 626 station wagon.

I'll never be able to afford it, so I actually don't give a hoot what it can do

I could afford it, but I wouldn't be able to live with the guilt of spending that much money on a video card. Not to mention the guilt my wife would be reminding me to feel.

I can afford one - but I'll never buy one.

Gaming does not exist in a vacuum - sooner or later the prices get so nuts that people find other things to spend their moolah on. It's got to the point where it competes with (for me) things that are a lot more interesting. Would I prefer a 2 week holiday this September, or prettier pew-pews? Well, I've got that holiday booked, so I think that's that one answered.

I earn a very good wage, but I'm odd and much prefer older cars, so your example is also valid to me - my wife's 2009 C-Class wagon is lovely, in fantastic condition and worth less than a 5090 - I just have no freakin' interest in spending that much money on a GPU.

100% (or maybe 99% as I like newer cars too).

This thing isn’t even for sale anywhere and even if it were I’m not spending that kind of money on something I only use for gaming a few hours a week if I’m lucky. Maybe if it’s been msrp id have gotten one, but msrp +1500 euros - I’ll pass thanks.
