        But does it matter if you can still get 3080s for $700 and less when the 4080 would still be $900 after the price drop? Or maybe no price drop due to inflation? You still save money.

        My current plan is to buy RTX 3000 second-hand which is going to help NVIDIA at most indirectly in clearing their RTX 3000 inventory.

        I wonder if long-term a GPU market similar to Thinkpads will emerge:
        Businesses/miners buy new GPUs for computation and then dump their inventory on the second-hand market a few years later where it gets picked up by consumers.

          This does not exist everywhere, in western Europe older computers tend to go to eastern Europe instead of feeding a local second hand market. In France at least the refurbished market is very bad with prices way too high to be of any interest.

They made the "real" 4080 almost twice as expensive, and the same for what should have been a 4070. People complained that 3090 cost too much compared to similar performing 3080, well now Nvidia made that difference smaller by 2x-ing the price of all other cards.

            Yes, the Kepler Titan was a Quadro/Telsa GK110 reject, hell that was the main reason why GPGPU/professional gays were obsessed with them back in the day (FP64 portion was intact). They were practically the same hardware for far less $$$$. Nvidia realized that they made a big oops and end-up cannbalizing their acutal Quadro/Telsa line-up at the time. Instead of enticing gayming-gays with deep pockets.
            That's why next generation were binned much and end-up being more of a less, "early access/sneak peak" of their customer-tier Big Maxwell and Big Pascal cards.
            Titan brand eventually outlived its usefulness and became new "xx90" tier.

            They always do this (hell they already did with the 20xx when the 30xx came out despite all the scalping and inability to purchase at MSRP) and it has never once hurt them. Know why? Because end users aren't the target audience, it's always been the companies that rely on their proprietary software like game companies. Even if you don't use shit like raytracing or hairworks, developers still scramble out of their way to lick some boots and let nVidia walk all over them in order to get such features implemented into their games.

    3080 Ti and 3080 12GB were made to price-hike the 3080, so basically the price hike already happened, Nvidia wasn't making any 3080 10GB lately. This pricing is not surprising at all. Naming 4070 "4080" is fricking nasty though.

    Look at the specs. This isn't a 4080. It is a completely different card where the 4 gb ram is a rather minor difference compared to other things.

    It is a literal 4070 in everything except name. MAYBE you can call it a 4070ti if you want to pretend Nvidia doesn't frick you over, but it is never a 4080.

    The biggest mistake of Nvidia was calling the 4080 (16GB) not the 4080ti (16GB), because the 16GB "version" has nothing in common with the other "4080".

    It's like two cars where two are completely different, but have the same name with the only marketing difference being the acceleration. Just imagine a Ford and a Toyota will be sold under the same name "Ford 12" and "Ford 16". This is where Nvidia is with the "4080" name.
