The gaming library follows the market. Just because Nvidia released a high-end GPU with an extremely high-end MSRP doesn't mean that game studios will develop games for it, because most users will not be able to afford a $1600 GPU to run those games.
Nvidia started development on this card before the crypto crash. This card made sense for a market in which users expected to be able to spend money to make money, it does not make sense for a market in which
The Steam hardware survey says that only 0.52% of users have an RTX 3090[1]. Pasting the data [2] into a spreadsheet, some quick selection groups say that more than half of all Steam users have hardware older or less powerful than a 1080. They've all been priced out; why would you build a game that most users can't play?

- bryanlarsen 4y agoThe gaming market won't develop for the 4090. However, they will use the 4090 as an approximation of the performance of a 5080, 6070 and 7060 and will eventually target the 7060.
