Question Refurbished RTX 4090 GPUs going for $2300 on newegg ?

[80251]

I had thought previous gen video cards were supposed to go down in price when nextgen models were about to be released?

Sadly enough people are probably buying them thinking they are getting a deal.

It's perverse to think I got a deal on my Gigabtye Gaming OC 4090 at $1831.74 out-the-door (thanks Microcenter) at NIB, while a refurbished Gigabyte Gaming OC 4090 is selling for > $400 more.

Meanwhile I just picked up a brand new 7900 xtx from Microcenter for 799. Which my understanding is that it isn’t too far behind in raster. Ray tracing is another matter.

I ended up getting the 2 year walk in warranty so at least if I have issues with it I don’t have to deal with the manufacturer and the store is only about 40 minutes away.

Those super expensive GPUs make no sense, no way that 4090 is 1000 bucks better.
