1440p is kind off heavy on it in example of RDR2, on custom settings that replicate setting of xbox/playstation for that game its reaching only 50-55fps, while playable and it's fine, that graphical fidelity once put on higher setting adds to immersion.

MSFS and Star Citizen is way different story tough.

But in general yes, card holds pretty well for its age

Well, if the MSRP is anything to go by it should be about half.

I hear it comes with a free fire extinguisher, so that’s nice.

Let's just hope it doesn't.

I'm pretty sure you don't need to run much on low settings with that card. Unless you want to play at 4k or something.

Top tier hardware was always quite expensive, not quite as expensive as the last 3 generations, but quite expensive - the late 90s to mid 2010s was actually a bit of an outlier in that regard.

And as you say, the modern hardware lasts for years and years. Back in the day your system was outdated in 6-12 months and 2-3 years down the line you would be lucky if you could even launch a new game.

Did prices increase from the 2080 to the 3080?

Yeah just did a quick look. My 3090TI is way more powerful than the PS5 and looks like it's going to be sufficient for a long time to come.

Even so, the "AAA" titles will run absolutely fine on a far more budget system. There's a reason why GPU reviews hardly include 1080p results - it's not very relevant seeing 400-600 FPS in a graph.Most people have a 1080p or at most a 1440p panel, those will be driven just fine at 60+ FPS on 2-300$ cards at medium-high settings and will continue to do so for years to come.

As for most games I have on my "want to play" list, they're something that hardly make my 5700 XT break a sweat. One of those games I've been playing is literally built on the Quake engine, yes not even the Q3 engine, the first one.

Absolute bullshit. You don't need a flagship card to play games.

Most people have 1080p or 1440p panels. You can drive those with a 2-300$/€ GPU absolutely no issue.

You also don't need a 7950X or 13900K to play games. You also don't need 32gb DDR5.

Yes I had scientific computing in mind where nVidia still dominates. Not sure about the size of this market or the crypto mining markets compared to gamer market.

I'm on a 1440p screen, mostly either open worlds like RDR2, or simulators like MSFS, Elite, Star Citizen

1080p on 1070 is perfect still, it just looks like shit on 1440p screen

What games do you play? I have a 980 and I can play pretty much every game I have in 1080p 100+ fps.

I made it the fuck up.

Jokes aside, I watched a LTT video today and those were the numbers I remembered for some reason, could be wrong.

Of course latency is bottlenecked by the speed of light. It's the limit of how fast we can transmit information.

Where did you find the benchmark results about 20-30% less RT perf? That's really surprising, I think its half the RT perf.

Latency isn't bottlenecked by the speed of light. And if you're always looking for the lowest latency you'll be stuck playing LAN parties. It's improving every year with Internet speeds exploding. It's far from perfect now but it'll get there.

Don't get me wrong, I'll grab 7900 XT or even XTX myself once they will be available (altough availability will be pretty hard topic after Dec 13th, especially in EU). For a gaming card Nvidia definetly asks way too much. Like c'mon, few years back PC build tgat could run everything on ultra costed same as they are asking for 4080-16 in EI

these cards are being used for more than gaming.

since its a deductible, the price isnt that much of a hurdle.

I just wanted to raise my finger and say, a decade agor the GTX x80 wasnt only 500 EUR. And then i googled and found out that the GTX680 in 2012 was indeed 550$.

There probably won’t be enough electricity in Europe to run a single RTX 4090 anyways or they will at least turn to it heat homes.

Maybe the increased competition from the new intel gpu launch will help. Or maybe they raise their prices as well to cash in on the trend

Don't expect it to be much better lol.

Sorry I have AI waifus to generate.
