So similar performance for a similar price, this gen of cards isnt much of an upgrade and at a cost, only card worth having out of this series is the 4090 as at least it's better performing, i can see price drops coming soon cause they are not selling and christmas is over so even the people buying will drop off some what.
If the xt and xtx had hit it's mark at launch then nvidia wouldn't have a choice but it seems it'll be a few months until they are working correctly now which has left nvidia freedom to keep gouging.
