Okay but why? Even with Nvidia's price drops, the value proposition of getting a GPU now is ____. Well, I guess it would be altruistic. The more people who buy now the faster the AIBs clear out the surplus. The faster the AIBs clear out the surplus the sooner Nvidia launches the 4080 and 4070 - which will perform the same or better as the 3090 and 3080 but cost less. So, I could be a nice guy and buy a 3080 to pay more today for the same level of performance I will get form a 4070 in few months at a cheaper price. Or I could be selfish and save myself money by waiting a few months. Now if Nvidia drops the price of each card a full tier, i.e., sells the 3080 for $500 and the 3090 for $700 maybe.
