When was an RTX -90 series card ever nearly that cheap? AFAIK lowest MSRP on such a card was the 3090 for $1499 almost 5 years (and much inflation and lower tariffs) ago.
$2653 is certainly inflated-- but MSRP on even the non-AIB version of the 5090 is $1999, all the AIBs are at least hundreds higher.
You can blame no competition, high prices that have not come down because of crypto miners demand from a few years back, pandemic supply chain issue and good old greedflation from a POS company like nVidia.
What in the world happened that GPUs are over 5 Thousand Dollars.

If you have been in a coma for the last ten years, I think the order was:
Crypto.
Then crypto again.
Then a pandemic.
And then AI.
Oh, and the crazy guy from the Apprentice TV show is now president and destroying the economy with tariffs.

Wasn't there something about a sell off cause the crypto mining wasn't profitable any longer?

It was probably the high point of high end bang for the buck, and NVIDIA won't make that mistake again.
Next gen the 2080 ti has jumped to $999 MSRP (around $1279 inflation adjusted) and gains were only about 20% depending what you were testing so already less bang/buck.
But again this is a 90 series card-- a tier above the 80ti cards- not just faster, but also significantly more VRAM.
Which if you do productivity work can make a massive difference-- time being money and all.
Nobody else makes anything at this tier, which is part of why they can charge this much for it- there's literally no competition if need this tier of card....
AMD explicitly said they were not doing high end for this generation of cards, and Intel is still down in the low-lower-mid tier performance (though they offer solid bang for the buck down there).
