Yeah the 4090 (like some of have been saying) is the only real substantial upgrade this generaton. The rest is just.. meh and hardly worth it unless you need a new graphics card. Shame because Ampere was an amazing return to form when it launched, after the dud that was Turing. Lucky I got my GPU at a such a big discount otherwise I would've just gone for lower end/mid tier RX 6000 series card to hold out until Blackwell/RDNA 4. And even then I'd be cautious of waiting because GPU's are going to be even more expensive to produce (for GPU manufacturers) with TSMC's 3nm and GDDR7. |
I think the lame part is that even if the rest of the lineup had a 50% increase gen on gen performance with no additional cost increase over previous gen and they left the 70% for the 4090 tier, it still would have been a great generation. But man their greed really goofed the enthusiasm and rightfully so.
And yea you basically got a 4070 Ti for the price of a 3070 Ti and that's before Diablo IV being included in. So you are essentially enjoying the 44% uplift with no additional cost which is amazing. But yea we will have to see how next gen plays out.
