Why do people use 4090s as examples? These are basically cards that used to be called titans and were always overpriced.

They were overpriced and they still always sell out. There are tons of professional uses for these cards outside of gaming. There is a sizable crowd that makes money creating content with these cards. To them, $1600-$2000 is just the price of doing business. 

This fact won't ever change and it commands premium pricing, even if every gamer cringes at it. For every gamer that says the 4090 is overpriced, there is a professional buying 2 of them. Complaining about 4090s being expensive is like complaining that a f-350 costs more than non commercial trucks.

If you want to complain about 80 and 70 series cards skyrocketing, I'm all for it but the only thing that changed with 90 series is name and marketing.

All the 40 series are stupidly overpriced to force us to buy the left over 30 series stock. Imagine how pleasantly surprised Nvidia was when we went and bought the overpriced 40 series anyway. 

Nvidia seems to be going out of their way to see just how hard they can f*** us, and at every step we seem to be smiling and asking for more. 

You don’t stay in an abusive relationship and just hope the other person changes. You leave. We need to leave Nvidia for AMD and Intel. We need to be adults, take the fps hit for a couple years and go with the older AMD and Intel cards.
