Shocking take: you can simultaneously settle for an older gen card, while also being pissed at nvidia for the absurd price inflation of the new cards. The two are not mutually exclusive. The pricing of 4000 series and beyond might not be a today problem, but it is definitely a tomorrow problem.

*Only if everyone buys them.* If they don’t, nvidia will be sitting on warehouses full of unsold cards and machinery tooled to produce cards that don’t sell, and they’ll have to lower prices to avoid lowering money.

This is a problem that is completely within the power of gamers to resolve. But that requires not being impulsive and having some discipline.
