Thanks, Rhonin.

So, from the leaks we've had, it looks like the 4070 will perform like a 3080. Two and a half years later, we'll be able to have the same performance (plus 2GB more of VRAM!), for $100 less.
Yeah, for some reason I can't get excited by any of these new GPUs.

Yeah, the shitshow continues with the 4070. I still can't accept the fact that lower middle cards go for enthusiast prices now. I wonder how quickly the lower end 40xx cards will become obsolete at this point? Not just with VRAM limitations and throttled bandwaith, but for sheer performance. They can't hide everything behind DLSS either. I think this generation will be seen as a try-and-fail scenario in hindsight, and that some more proper designs will reveal themselves in the coming generation. I would wait one more year or 18 months, but I just can't hold off any longer, my rig is getting seriously old.

I would argue they are already obsolete.

The Radeon RX 6700/6750 10/12GB is probably the best buy at the moment, they are being heavily discounted.. And will be "passable" for performance at 1440P for a year or two yet, hopefully by then prices tank further.

My "gaming" notebook has a 3060 6GB, it actually doesn't run to badly, that is... Until that DRAM starts to be the limiting factor which happens quickly even at 1080P.

Just pretend this generation never happened... And hopefully the market corrects itself.
