These prices are getting ridiculous anymore.  I remember thinking $600-700 for a high end card was nuts, with $1000 being insane. 

And now double that?  For something that will be superseded by something much better in a year?  Just seems ridiculous anymore. Phones are getting the same way.

I could probably buy 4 or 5 decent mid-range cards for the next 4 or 5 years for the price of one of those cards and have 80% of the performance and eventually better over that time than buying one big card and using it for 4 years.

Sure, there are niche uses, but unless you're a pro and/or have money to burn, this is just a waste.

I'm pretty happy with my Asus 2070 OC Edition. I could literally buy 3 of them for the price of this card and have money left over for a couple games.
