I don’t know if you noticed, but everything became more expensive in the last year. Food, housing, etc, it’s called inflation and PC parts aren’t immune.
4090 is definitely nuts, but with inflation the 4080 is right about on par.
On par with the competing product? Sure. On par with inflation? Not by a long shot. GPU prices tripled a couple years back. Inflation accounted for only a small fraction of that. They have come down somewhat since then, but nowhere close to where they should be even with inflation.
As usual team red very close in comparison
Indeed. Both brands being overpriced doesn’t make them any less overpriced. Cryptocurrency and scalping may be mostly gone now, but corporate greed persists.
That’s not Todd Howard’s fault, but when he makes a snarky comment expecting everyone to cough up that kind of money to play his game, it’s more than a little tone deaf.
Adjusted for inflation in the US, the 1080 ti cost only $876 in today’s money when it came out. The 4080 launched at $1231 in today’s money. You are simply incorrect

PC gaming didn’t used to be THIS expensive.
You could build an entire machine for the cost of a 4090.
