I bought a 4080 at about the same as you bought your card. How I look at it is: I (and you) got a worse deal than if we waited 5 months, but at the same time, we both got the use of a better GPU compared to what we used before, for all that time, and that’s worth something.
I upgraded to a 4070ti 3 months ago (mainly in anticipation of Phantom Liberty and Alan Wake 2) and seems even a better affair now.

Me, no regrets, not really.
