From the company that was “reselling” its own 30 series inventory without ever putting it into inventory or shipping it to resellers first. This isn’t new at all.

Well I want to upgrade this year when are we looking at AMD releasing? Money isn't really the issue here. I ain't paying $4k for one though.
technically, dollar for dollar, the 5090 is better than a 4090. With that said, they stopped making the 4090s awhile ago, you're only going to be able to get a used 4090 and they're also still in high demand. So if you want a new 90 series card, you're going to have to wait for the market for the 5090s to cool down, and who knows how long that'll take. The market for the 80s is probably experiencing the same.
The rumor is that AMD launches their gpus in march. AMD isn't a cult like apple and nvidia, so i'd be surprised if they experience the same bs

You’re going to get a lot of mixed recommendations from people who are stuck on the 50 series on not being as big of a jump as previous generations and hence being “bad”. I would suggest listening to the beginning of this video, and then skimming through the test results and deciding if the cost of the cards is worth it at the current prices. The cards are objectively better than the previous generation, but at a high cost. Part of it is due to inflation, but not all.

If AMD can come out with something comparable at a much better price, I’m might give them a try. Tariffs are going to complicate things because MSI and ASUS have just added 200-400 dollars to already expensive cards. I’m going to wait and see.

Has happened every generation at least since the 30 series, and yet people still buy their products

I'm half tempted to wait out the 4XXX Ti Super Duper Generation myself until Nvidia gets a process shrink next time around (for their stock's sake, they better), or just make do with AMD for a gen or two, but do we have any firm info on why AMD has currently Unlaunched their boards? Most common listed causes are ass drivers and fears over fps/$ performance vs Nvidia, and neither one is filling me with confidence.

Hah actually yes. Watched from the sidelines with my Series X when all the 3000's drama happened. But now I'd like to upgrade my pre-built's video card and it seems like that's probably a no go for now. Not too worried though, Cyberpunk looks and plays amazing with my 7600 as long as i don't try the ray tracing shit. Should be able to play Pantheon at MAX settings no problem!

Even the 7900XTX is still $1,200+ it seems if you can find it in stock (I think the in-stock ones were $1,500 on eBay). Stuff is bonkers at the moment.
