I went ahead and picked up a reference 4080 for 1199 and it's not a bad option. I would've got a 3090 but I didn't want to get a used mining card and especially not for 850$+. In VRC it would be nice to have 24gb of vram but 16gb is still far more than most people have on hand and CPU/fast ddr5 also helps boost your fps a lot as well. 
Nice to have 40 series for other games too.
