Sorry to say but you are exactly the paradigm to avoid ,amd less nvidia more but in the same strategy, they have you believe that buying a 3080 at 800 is a good deal just because it was priced at 1200 or more ,the big trap is that you actually paying a price that should of been the start point at launch and now should of been like 500 ,what's the strategy-launch at higher prices now and get customers that don't have money issues, after they get customers like you saying that is a bargain getting a 3080 at 800 (after 2 years) ,so they have a big profit even after 3 years and you are getting a GPU 3 years old like it was launched yesterday!! In the meantime they have launched the new generation at even higher prices so they can repeat the same thing over and over ,the end game is that they get more money from you and you still feel happy because you think that you got a GPU cheaper then the first s.u.c.kers ....LOL
