lol this is way better than PS5/XSX.

A 3070 smokes a PS5, 20 TF vs 10 TF? And it's reasonably priced (only $499) and has DLSS 2.0 on top of that for even better performance.

Nvidia is totally killing AMD and these consoles.

Something feels off about the tflop numbers. 3070 seems like it will maybe be a 10% improvement over 2080ti in some games, but they are saying that it has 7 more tflops than 2080ti.

That being said, 3070 will definitely beat PS5 and Xbox Series X. Rumor is Series X performance falls in between 2080 Super and 2080ti, and 3070 is above 2080ti. And PS5's GPU is weaker than Series X's. 

However, you also have to remember than 3070 is $500 for just a GPU, an entire PC built around a 3070 will probably cost you around $1200. Series X and PS5 will be $500 tops, they will still be price/performance kings later this year. 

The 3070 has other bottlenecks, especially in memory speed, so it will struggle to keep up at 4k. FLOPS aren't the end-all in performance.

BTW it is absolutely possible to buy a GPU without replacing your whole PC.
