Im genuinely of the opinion that GPU manufacturers need to take a gap year. Stop prioritising in game performance development and focus on efficiency and cost for just 12 months.

Actually Id be happy if consumer PC hardware as a whole went this way for just a little bit.

You can tune down the power draw yourself and get that efficiency you need.

Besides that, you should buy AMD Radeon. They are the ones with a reasonable production strategy to lowering die cost and also have the lower price on their cards.

I did buy AMD, doesnt mean I dont want the rx9700xt to be cheaper when it comes out.

2080TI, running Starfield at max settings with 4k texture mods, reporting in.

I want a top of the line GPU, I just can't find a good enough reason to shell out the money. It keeps plugging away, runs smooth as butter with a slight overclock, and I have no complaints. I heard lots of complaints about the 4*** series cards though.

I've saved up for a top of the line GPU twice now, and I'd rather spend it spoiling my wife and doing the nice things we can't usually afford.

Hey in all honesty good on you for being an early adopter, someone has to. The first cars were not much of an upgrade over the horse and buggy either.

I wouldnt touch the 40 series, it feels like a stopgap. Theres a lot going on with AI cores and frame generation and new methods that arent just "raw power" processing. I think all this frame gen and ray tracing and so on is going to come together in the next series.
