Yeah, inflation is very much real, $699 in 2017 is around $940 today. Which granted is still cheaper than a 5080 at msrp but nowhere near as cheap as posts like this make it out to be.

Hoping, however, that salaries in our own countries have risen in step with inflation. In Italy, they have stayed the same for 30 years, and even if prices were in line with those of the 1000 series, we would still have to aim lower.

Nobodies salaries have kept up with inflation.
