And the shit show from Nvidia continues. But prices are slowly improving, it would appear.

All the cards in this stack below the 4080 need to be shifted down a tier. The pricing on this entire generation is insane.

Yes I think they are trying to gaslight us into believing these new tiers are acceptable. Heck, there was going to be a 4080 that they begrudgingly rebranded 4070 after the world ridiculed them.

People who buy any of these cards confuse me. A 6950XT is only £600 and you'll get better frames. It's worst RTX but I don't think most people would mind.

The libraries and software built around the RTX cores are way more interesting than ray traced gaming anyway. It feels bad that all of those are nvidia proprietary right now.

nVidia needs to get a lot more consumer friendly for me to consider them for my next card.

People who will spend 600 vs 250 pounds on GPU are completely different markets
