NVIDIA fans who have been speculating that green team's next flagship gaming graphics card would feature a similar memory configuration as the current champion might be correct after all.

Exactly. That's my biggest fear for this one as well. The rumors, and past release history of NV cards, suggest it could be an extremely impressive card but the cost could be even more insane. Factor in all those who held out because of the jacked prices over the last two+ years and they could easily end up being scalped just like the last batch. Even if mining is of no concern or relevance for these the demand could still be high enough that scalpers will screw it up all over again.Of course there is the issue of will I be able to afford this new gpu, without selling both kidneys that is.

Sort of?Are we now in the days where the GPU has more ram then the CPU?
I would hope having most/all of the textures in the gpu ready to go would solve latency moving around the world, stutter, and zone teleports in MMOs among other things.
My thinking is the same as yours. I think it's going to be the same issue with these new cards as it was with the 3000 series cards at launch. Plus I think they'll be even more expensive. This is why I decided on getting a 3090 TI through the step up as I won't have to through that process again anytime soon.Exactly. That's my biggest fear for this one as well.

It might not be by the time that the card is released, but I do believe that the pricing will return to normal. NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel all want pricing to return to their MSRP. Remember, they license their stuff to OEMs like EVGA who turn them into products for the rest of us. I do not believe NVIDIA/AMD/Intel are profiting all that much from the huge increases of street pricing. Those increases are due to a supply/demand issue. I don't even think the OEMs are really benefiting from that. I believe the people benefiting are the direct sellers, like NewEgg, Amazon stores, etc who are comfortable selling at MSRP or higher.Exactly. That's my biggest fear for this one as well.

You do realize the msrps were raised due to the extreme street prices right?It might not be by the time that the card is released, but I do believe that the pricing will return to normal.

I literally just did the same (step-up). I have a 3090 in my older rig in the cave and figured why not. It'll give me time to sit and let things play out when they do launch.My thinking is the same as yours.

Yes and no. NVIDIA has been steadily raising prices on their top-tier cards for over 3 gens now. The 980 Ti was the last card that seemed even close to affordable but was still up there for the time, and that was mainly by comparison to the Titan of the time.
