The 5070 Ti does look like it could be the sweet spot in the range. Very close specs to the 5080, while being a few hundred quid cheaper.
not quite, IMO
5090 = 21760 cores @ 2.41GHz = $1999
5080 = 10752 cores @ 2.62GHz = $999
5070Ti = 8960 cores @ 2.45GHz = $749
5070 = 6144 cores @ 2.51GHz = $549
to me, it looks like prices scales nearly exactly linearly with the CUDA core count (and performance taking into account the clockspeeds), and possibly by extension, rasterisation performance
looks like gone are the days of lower-end sweet-spot value for money and the halo price premium
given that the 5090 has 32GB VRAM, it may actually be the best buy lol, and no I'm not going to buy a 5090
