While im not excusing those prices. Shouldnt a 3080 be more than enough for the coming years ? Like even if you plan to do AAA 4k gaming. Im also pretty sure the prices for the 30series cards did in fact drop.
From what I recall, Nvidia is deliberately burning through their 3000 series cards so there is little inventory left. I can't afford a 3080 right now so here's hoping they're in stock in a few months
My friend recently got a 3080ti for less than $600. Prices are only going to go down on them as the 4080s come out, you can probably get a good deal on one from somebody who is upgrading. Once the ‘budget’ 40 series comes out, that should further push down the price of the 3060.
Yes. I usually upgrade my GPU every 5-8 years and it's fine. It slows down a bit near the end, especially if you get a higher resolution monitor. You really don't need to play everything at 4K 60 fps ultra settings, and it gives you an excuse to enjoy more indie games (which are better than AAA games anyway).

I have a GTX 980 that is still gaming after 8 years. I'm pretty sure a 3080 will go for like a decade.
