    Insane GPU prices in 2022 WTF?

    Seeing the insane prices of the RTX-4090 @ $1700 to $2000 is ridiculous. Even the RTX 4080 for $1,200 is stupid, I bought my RTX-3080 for $799 back in Nov. 2020, so why is the next gen version 50% higher now? The RTX-1080 launch price was $599 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce_10_series...
