As of today, the EVGA 3090 card is more than double the cost of the the similar trim level 3080. I am in line for a 3080 EVGA card and I am willing to wait until June when my number will come up. Maybe I will get lucky sooner and spot a card.While I feel the same way (I didn't buy the 3090 btw), the RRP price differential doesn't represent the reality. The difference between a scalped 3080 partner card and a 3090FE is not as vast as the paper numbers might suggest.
With the reported price hikes across the board imminent, I wonder if £1400 will seem like such an absurd amount in 6 - 12 months as I make do in VR with a weak card.
I'm personally holding out for a 3080ti (I can dream) for an element of future-proofing as I don't think it will be too long before game makers utilise the extra RAM - certainly within the lifespan of the card.
