  I got a 3090 in the depths of the 2021 GPU shortage and for my purposes (mainly JRPGs) I can still run basically every new game at 4k max settings. I don't really see much need to upgrade.

  Wonder if the AI rush will result in a situation where the state of the art is so far beyond what's needed for gaming that gpus won't be a bottleneck anymore.

  Announced launch prices here are about what the 4080 SUPER has been, so in that regard it's not great but not terrible like the 5090.

  It's targeted at the "AI" gold rushers isn't it? Not at gamers.

  Well that's good news for current 4000 series owners I suppose.
