This is Nvidia we are talking about being all consumer focused and stuff? Are you feeling Ok?
But he has a point though. Nvidia for example pushed their RTX3050 and RTX3060 replacements up two tiers. If they had "only" pushed it up one tier it would be:
1.)RTX4060(current RTX4060TI)=RX7700XT at £300
2.)RTX4060TI(current RTX4070) =RX7800XT at £400
3.)RTX4070(current RTX4070TI) = RX7900XT at £500
The current "RTX4080" would be under £800.
You can see that with AMD rebadging the true RX7700XT as the RX7800XT,like Nvidia rebadged the RTX3060/RTX3060TI replacement as the RTX4070.
Maybe it will finally dawn on people after Turing/RDNA1,the Pandemic and now this generation,these companies don't really care about gamers.
If you're going to behave like a child by calling me an AMD fanboy at least tell me which Nvidia GPU should i buy?
If you can't do that with a straight face then you know the problem i'm talking about. So which GPU?
None of them. The RTX4070 at best should be a £400 RTX3060TI. It offers slightly more of a performance increase the RTX3060TI did over the RTX2060 Super but both were under £400. Nvidia added a £200 tax this time. Even if the RX7800XT matches the RTX4070 for slightly less with more VRAM,its another case of paying £100s more for a generational improvement.
Essentially this whole generation is Turing V1 all over again. They are pushing lower power consumption and "value added features" as the selling points.
So if you are really wanting a proper price for price improvement,you will have to look at an older generation card on clearance,or the secondhand market.
But also realise you will get less years of support too,and also less access for newer features(FSR3 probably will need RDNA3 machine learning improvements).
