    An RTX 4070 is still $600, which is still way higher than what I paid for a GTX 1070, and the gimping of the VRAM is part of the problem. Either way, I’m fine with staying out of the market. If prices don’t regain some level of sanity, I’ll probably buy an old card years from now.

      Yeah, same here. My 1080ti still performs more than adequately enough.

      That’s also a thing about all this gpu pricing - things are starting just to become ‘enough’, without the need to upgrade like you did before.

      Same thing happened to phones, and then high end phones got expensive as fuck. I mean I had a Galaxy note 2 I bought for 400 bucks back in the day and that was already expensive.
