No doubt the price tag will be ridiculous.

I don't get the hatred for these halo products. The 4090 was the best GPU from the last generation in my opinion, yet people kept spouting the same pointless hatred. "It draws too much power. It's too expensive. It's too big." I don't get it. Just buy the cheaper, smaller, less power hungry cards. If they are too expensive, then complain about that. Which is what people did, and it worked because the 4080 sold poorly.

I think people do have a right to hate the prices though. I get inflation, architecture complexities can ramp up costs, wafers, transistor designs etc. But even with all these in mind, Nvidia are still profiting way too much per chip sale. The price vs performance is awful.

What goes in Nvidia's favour is that, the performance is unfortunately stonkingly good. Gone are my days of buying flagships. I just cannot justify the prices.

I'm also thinking we are approaching a point where size does become problematic. We are already in an age where GPUs come with support brackets to compensate for the "weighty" long cards. GPU sag is common place and PCI-E sockets are being reinforced. Where do we go if those GPUs continue to increase in size? I dont get the hate for this one, but logically, it could become a problem if the answer to performance evolution is "make the coolers thicker"

Completely agree, Nvidia knows its position in market and well and truly takes advantage of that (as any shareholder company would)

But it comes back to the same thing people have been saying for ages: the 90 class isn't built for mainstream audiences. The 'mainstream' GPUs from Nvidia still exist. They are still there. My problem is not that the 4090 exists; it's that the 4060 sucks BECAUSE the 4090 exists. The only issue I have with halo products is that they force mainstream products into tiers way above where they belong. We've had enthusiast builds for years and nobody has complained because it hasn't impacted the low-end and midrange. We all used to salivate over YouTube videos and forum threads of people building $10k systems with 3 Titan GPUs and X99 Intel sockets with water cooled RAM. That hasn't changed in essence. The only thing that has is, we no longer have the GTX 970 or RX480 to fall back on.
