I paid £666 for a 1080 ti new, I will be hoping I can get a 3080 for about the same price.
Beast of a price.

Should change the title of this thread to "How much are retailers going to charge for the 3090, 3080, 3070".
With the likely shortage of Ampere cards for the next few months it is going to be a sellers market.
Some people will pay crazy prices to get the exact GPU Brand & model they want..Would think consumers will go direct to Nvidia. Can't imagine they would do this sort of gouging once they've set a price.
The difference between 60/75 and 144hz is huge for me even on non fps titles its vastly smoother. But then again if you have no reason to justify an upgrade and get a long just fine then there isn't much reason to spend.
I used to upgrade every time, now though i tend not too unless absolutely neccessary. Likely i may skip this gen. Have always wanted a 4k 144hz monitor so may wait it out for something of that spec to become reasonably priced, could be waiting a while though.
Even if I had the money, I'd only buy a 3090 if it was priced 30% higher than the RTX 3080. 10% for the extra VRAM and 20% for the increase in performance.
They need a resolution that has twice the pixels of 4K (8k is more than 4 times the pixels of 4K), the 3090 could probably handle that quite well.
i paid less than 300 for my 1070Ti, and i'll only spend upto 300 for a new card - i can wait.
I'm chucking at the auction sites being flooded with the bodies of discarded 20x0 cards, for almost the price of a new 3070. No one in their right mind would pay that!
I think the highest i would go for a graphics card would be around £700
