That’s just for the spare power cables

I mean...you realize that as someone who plays only in high refresh PC VR you are a niche of a niche of a niche of a rich person's hobby...right?
A niche that didn't exist when flagship GPUs were $500

I just bought a used Dell mechanical keyboard for next to nothing. It does seem to have a shorter throw and maybe less of a snap back but oh my how my fingers fly. Decades gone by.

You can see the point when cryptominers started buying every single card, yet when theyre not buying them out anymore the price keeps still increasing, thats why im salty. And yes, as someone who pretty much plays only in vr, the frames are important.

The last flagship card that was $500 was the GTX 480 in 2010. (non-inflation adjusted numbers)
RTX 3090 - $1500 (we won't count the 3090 ti because global shortage)
RTX 2080 ti - $1200
GTX 1080 ti - $700
GTX 980 ti - $650
GTX 780 ti - $699
GTX 690 - $999
GTX 590 - $700
GTX 480 - $500
And yes. The Market determines the value of the product. No one needs to push a few more pixels faster sooner.

No it isn't. The switches and equipment slow it down. We're no where near sending and receiving data at the speed of light.

Well, but those are titles I'm playing, so that's why I'm saying that 1070 isn't suited for me personally anymore.
For someone who plays esports all the time on 1080p it would be perfect budget card.

Taking the most notoriously difficult to run titles as a benchmark is also pretty unflattering :p

You know flagship gpu used to be like 400-500, just because it was and is niche its perfectly fine to charge 3x and keep going harder?

I have a Gsync monitor and it works fine with 6900xt adaptive sync.

crypto had apparently disproportionate influence on the pricing, even if niche.
there is also the cg industry. nvidia is de facto standard and seems it will stay that way for a while.

Bought my 3070 at MSRP, I play on a 1080P display, I think I'm good for the next 4 years, maybe by then they'll think again their prices.

I switched from console to PC after PlayStation 2. I love both but PC gives me all I need in one place and I can make it last double.

4000? Is that the purchase price or the power bill?

I guess those cards are useless if I want to play 1080p 60fps on the most recent games with everything at the maximum ? If that's the case, what would be a good GPU choice for this configuration ?

I'm old enough to have typed on the early keyboards with long travel and strong tactile response. They were practically orgasmic.

This happens with every new resolution technology.
Remember the days of 720p/1080i/1080p being advertised as HD, despite only one of those actually being HD.
