We're not getting a £250 1440P card, got to face reality. Moaning about it won't achieve anything.

Either quit PC gaming or pay up.

And there, ladies and gentlemen, is the attitude that guarantees prices will keep going up.

Also that £250 will only get you 1080p/60 class cards for the foreseeable future.

But it's cool, we don't want progress. We just want to be bent over and taken for everything we've got. We want it, and we pay for it.

I'll be doing as you say and quitting PC come PS5 in 2020. Enjoy your niche market segment which developers largely ignore because the vast, vast majority have sub-£200 cards (or laptops, etc).

You'll be moaning that "My £2000 card barely looks any better than a PS5! Developers should spend time and money catering to me! Why don't they? Consoles are holding us all back!" And ignoring the elephant in the room - prices.
 
Ha ha well imagine how the smoker feels, I remember 20 cigs being 12.5p lol and they haven't improved and cost 10 quid now! now that's a bad deal. but people still pay it.

Why many are leaving PC gaming and going consoles. PS5 and next Xbox will be the nail in the coffin.

The same thing was said about Xbox One, PS4 and Xbox One X. The majority of people who game on PC want to play at better than 30fps or play games that are not available on console. It'll be fine as always.

pc gaming is dead at this rate, it boggles my mind people are happy to pay more for less!

I'm confused. You are going to pay £500(ish) for a PS5 but you won't spend that on a GPU that will do more than 1080p at high FPS? Or less as there are 250-300 card doing fine at 1440p.

There's more in a console than a GPU... so why are you confused?
 
@Gibbo Dunno how OcUK plan to sell these cards (haven't looked at the website yet) but I would suggest a sub category for the super cards to make it easy for the consumer. Don't have them mixed up in the same list. As your run in to customers who buy cards thinking it's a super and then realising they've actually bought the wrong variant.

- Name: 2060 (Regular 2060's)
Sub Category:
2060 Super (Only the super variant)

- Name 2070 (Regular 2070's)
Sub Category:
2070 Super (Only the super variant)

But you already have a PC right? Or are you saying you need a full PC upgrade? In which case it's not the GPU costs fault.

Yes I need a full PC upgrade. A GPU is part of a full-system upgrade.

So it's not GPUs fault that GPUs are expensive? Wut?

Also check the die sizes of the GTX 960 and 1060. Smaller than even the 1660ti.

Always relevant against technical advances though - the 960 and 1060 are on 16FF on a process where realistically upper 500mm2 is the max size (sure you can push it to around 600+mm2 but not realistic for commercial loads) - while the 1660ti is on 12FFN which can manage upto around 700mm2 at commercial viability and 800+mm2 is doable.

Every post you make is that you can't buy a GPU for what you want to buy it for (even though if you go and look at reviews you'll find a card good enough to do high FPS at 1440p for a good price). What you mean is that you need a full PC upgrade, which you can do now cheaper than ever with Ryzen, but it's still not good enough so you are going to get a PS5. Well it has always cost more to build a PC than buy a console, so you are railing against something that has always been. So yeah I'm confused.

Only if you are under the misconception that we just blindly buy no matter what. They have spent god knows how many posts moaning about the cost of GPU's and then when it is pointed out that they can get a great GPU for a good price, it's something else.
