It's not about the abliity to afford it, you are not special or unique in this regard so I have no idea why you are all of a sudden droning on in multiple posts about these "uncertain times" and trying to make a big deal about people's finances. It just makes you sound insecure or like you have something to prove.Yeah but if you earn ok money and you're secure with some savings and assets, then its not that much money, i mean as younger person that would have been a lot, but as an adult with a steady profession you care less about things like price to performance ratio. Thats why those products exist for people that arent bothered too much by just splashing out.
Problem is covid puts even professionals at risk, because not only can work dry up, but serious economic crashes can wipe out the savings of fiscally conservative people. It's making spending of cash hard right now, i want to know i can pay the mortgage for a few years if theres serious economic downturn in future which i think will happen.
It's about the 3090 being an objectively terrible buy in terms of price/performance, based on what we have seen so far (final reviews to be confirmed). It's over double the cost, for only 10-20% more performance, while being much larger and longer to boot. Ugh.
