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.

The 4090 '1000 bucks better' is pretty much just for raytracing ATM, but I had thought for most raster benchmarks the 4090 beat out the 7900xtx as well <shrug>.

Agreed. Like my 7900 xtx, I'm sure is fine. I haven't actually hooked it up yet, new power supply just arrived today from Newegg. But my 6800xt could produce great graphics. I like good graphics as much as the next person but 2400 is a bit much.

I saw a video on youtube where the guy had some leaks that suggested the new 5080 could be like $1400 or more. So imagine the 5090. Definitely needs to be some competition.

But regarding the 4090 vs 7900xtx, the 4090 is a faster card, but looking at the link below would you pay $1000 extra?
