A card soon to be replaced and still cost $499 is absurd...

It's even more absurd it launched $100 over that. This card is worth at best $449 launch, now it should be selling for $389

This is nowhere a deal, not here or in china. For the same price you get a 7900 GRE which destroys this renamed 4060

It's already replaced. By the super variant.

I must be getting old because I remember the GTX series launching around $599 for the Founders Edition, and the 3090 Founders Edition going for about $699 at Best Buy initially. I’ve seen some pretty absurd comparisons of the 3090 to the 4060, when in reality it’s closer to the 4080. I also doubt Nvidia will add the optimized features of the 40 series to it—shareholders are eyeing their dividends and probably aren’t keen on reducing that by holding back on their ambitions. Guys like George Hotz have mentioned multiple times that the 3090 could have a potential that approaches the 4000 series features, but Nvidia’s driver team isn’t allowed to develop these additional options.
The sad part is the 4000 series about to meet the same faith.
