Still an absolutely terrible value.

My thoughts were that if they got nearer to traditional stock pricing they might be amazed at how well they sell, so like $400 off this pricing?...

I always try to purchase (last gen) parts and refresh after a new gen releases. I am not sure I have $1000 into my complete current gaming build, including the 3070.

A $700 somethingsomething80 card, which would be street priced around $500 a couple three months after release.
Yeah, $1000 plus tax/shipping is a fantastic deal.
Depending on your definition of fantastic.

The enemy is us, meaning the people that decided any price these guys put on them is great and buy 'em up.

I wouldn't buy the card if it was $4.99 from that company. I lost a monitor and charged me for it and I ended up paying for it.

When this card released I'd have paid $750 for it. Now? I'm not so sure as we're 9 months+ into this gen with prices still way too high. I am guessing at $650-699 I'd still buy one. I'd be interested in a 7900XTX at that price point as well.

As it is, I'll just sit on my 2080 until next gen comes out and hope it's priced better.

What a joke

If you compare it on a perf/$ or GB/$ basis with the RTX 4070 Ti and RTX 4090, this is actually about what it should cost!

I'm not lining up to buy one, but this at least brings it in line with its nearest siblings.

Sadly, the value on nearly all of the 4000 series is bad though. So now it's less bad, but still bad?

Yeah, I know pricing went up and that's got a lot of people understandably annoyed.

My question is this: Was the RTX 2000 series or the RTX 4000 series a worse upgrade, in terms of perf/$ relative to their predecessor?

Because, when the RTX 2000 series launched, a lot of people were disappointed by the price increase and small performance gains. In fact, there was even somewhat of a run on GTX 1080 Ti cards by people who didn't care about the RTX 2000 series' new features.

With the RTX 4000 series, it seems the performance gains are real, but were they enough to outpace the price gains? And how did they compare to the RTX 2000 in that regard?
