Possible future upgrade question.

[Synaptic Cipher]

Ok so with the soon to be launched 4000series, I’d assume that the prices for the 3000 series is going to drop a bit right? Earlier this year I upgraded to a prebuilt PC because it was the only way I could get a 3080. Now dont get me wrong, I love the crap out of my 3080. But I just love how the 3090ti Founders Edition looks. I wont be doing any sort of upgrades on my GPU for awhile with this build because I need to transfer the current prebuilt into a new case with a new AIO because the Omen 30L case and AIO sucks at getting nice temps under load and Ive already changed all the case fans to Noctua’s. So my question I guess is, is it worth it price to performance wise to go to a 3090ti FE from a 3080? Or should I just stay where Im at? I dont mind getting one thats used either so that could help with the price as well. Thanks all.

I guess there is no real way to know for sure, but I feel like the price cuts to make room for 40 series graphics cards have already happened. I don't personally think they will drop a significant amount more.

Kind of really depends on you. Only you can answer if it's worth it or not, we can only give you the costs involved.

You haven't given us anything to go off of. The games you play, the settings you want, the resolution you play at. There's absolutely no way we can answer you unless you flesh out your post with more information.

I think Nvidia has priced the 40-series so high to avoid a crash in the price of the 30-series. Take the 4080 16GB model for example. It is going to cost 220,000 yen here in Japan which is double the price of the 3080 when it first launched (before of the craziness of the mining boom). 
So I can’t see the prices of the 30-series dropping too low because of the insane pricing of the new GPUs.

 In 2018 I paid 40,000 yen for a used 1080. The 2080 was around 70,000 yen when released. The 3080 was 90,000 yen and now the 4080 16GB is a whopping 220,000 yen. Absolutely insane price increase. I will definitely be keeping my 3080 for now.
