Just make a choice my man. Your opinion matters the most.I just want to make sure I'm following the rules.
It's just that some things have changed - prices and my wants/priorities - and perspective. Not to mention, the timing, obviously.
I'm really indecisive - and it often burns me.... I inquired about a used 4080 - good price and it's gone.... :-(
Similar - I managed to get a bit more $$ so looking at current gen - I thought I was gonna have to pick a 3090 and now looking at 4080 if more affordable ones come on the market and the 7900 xtx - I guess the chances of that series being within reach is getting better from waiting longer.
:-( I know, it sounds good there - I'm in Canada, though. Americans always get the better deals - ebay - better, Microcenters - better.... price/currency conversion - better - get the picture/pattern?
Damn. 
all very valid points for up here. nothing like scoring a sweet deal on fleabay to only get raped by customs/duty fees IF they will even ship it... his point about the supers coming out is a good one, so we can keep our fingers crossed for some normally priced used cards....:-( I know, it sounds good there - I'm in Canada, though.

Oh, the mailing/postal system sucks chunks too - just ask any Canadian who tries to buy anything on ebay - from the USA - Americans DON'T like shipping things to Canada - it's a hassle for them. Also, we get nice import fees usually, too.
But, yes, even with the currency conversion, that looks like a GOOD deal - too bad, it's a Ventus! Hehe j/k.
Hopefully, what you're predicting/anticipating has a similar mentality to the north - because, that would be good. The only problem is when I say my budget is $1000 - that's a thousand loonies. That converts to $743 USD so let's just round it off and say $750? That's still short of the 4080 Super price, right? Isn't it gonna be $999 USD plus whatever taxes your state has?
That's why I'm hoping for some used 4080s to get on the market - for $1000-ish and I've seen at least 2 so far. It's the first time I've even seen any at that price - used, though, obviously. Still, I didn't think I'd be able to budget a 4080 at all and now I can - sorta.
We love you guys.:-( I know, it sounds good there - I'm in Canada, though. Americans always get the better deals - ebay - better, Microcenters - better.... price/currency conversion - better - get the picture/pattern?
Thanks. But, in the used market - it's really risky and stressful. I have hopes for the retail/new prices to come down but I doubt it - probably not much.
