Shame this is what the GPU market is like now. Saying that, you're right this is going to be the best value GPU atm in new releases. Until AMD decides to release the rest of their lower end stack.. which, is a little depressing ngl. With that said, a $100 increase from last gen isn't the worst thing in the world when it comes to pricing. And considering inflation etc, it isn't bad just isn't great. If its about on par with a 3080 / 6800XT that can be had for about the same price rn. |
It could be like this for a while if next generation is on 5/4nm again. Even if GPU manufacturers snatch some 3nm silicon there is little cost-benefit to be gained (some 30% more expensive wafers for a half-node logic worth of shrinking).
Best-case scenario in terms of value would probably be like a Radeon 8800/8900 retailing for some $900 and matching the 4090 - a whopping ~25% performance per value increase over the 6800/4070 in some two years time...
