is this the first time Nvidia is pushing an old gen card alongside their new ones?...they placed the 3090 (or 3090ti) alongside the 4000 series on some of their slides...so it's part of their marketing...I'm guessing the 3000 series will be the hot ticket this gen as far as price/performance...the 4090 is the best of the new cards but the $1600 price is crazy
