...and undervolt it
I think we have to blame Nvidia for this as the 4070 should have been a 4060 and priced at £300-350, AMD are just being opportunistic and did the same with the 7900XT/XTX because of the 4080 pricing which again shouldn't have really been anymore than the 3080 was last gen given the hardware spec was the same as a £525 3070ti with and extra 8gb of VRAM.
...and undervolt it
Well, mostly because they had painted themselves into a corner with calling all the Navi 21 successors 7900 something.
Thing is Joxeon the 4070 isn’t a 4060 because Nvidia named it a 4070! No point talking about hypotheticals here. I don’t think the pricing you’re after will ever return, this is the new reality.
There has been a big jump in the prices of everything, it may settle a little but as you say this is the new normal. The issue is that wages haven't caught up yet. Just look at what things cost 40 years ago and what wages were. It's an inevitability. A bit like the climate, we've had a very steady period and forgotten everything is always in a state of change, we have to move with it or get left behindThing is Joxeon the 4070 isn’t a 4060 because Nvidia named it a 4070!

And why don’t you look at current discounted prices (£480 for a 7800XT, £700 for a 7900XT, £860 for XTX) of new cards instead of looking at 12m old fake/greedy msrps? (We all have to wait for our price point before purchasing from now on it seems- waiting for discounts etc).
As @ICDP clearly posted the 7900XT is not bad value proposition when OCUK were selling it for £699 with Starfield.
Are you having a hard time accepting that an AMD card is good value?
The last card I bought was an ASUS HD 5850. I wanted to upgrade,but realised the 6850 was actually worse. Then I wanted a 7950 but prices were hitting £350-400. At that point I ducked out of PC gaming and went console. Prices now are ridiculous. £1500 for a gfx card? Lmfao,no thanks
£1500 is an eye watering amount, that some on here, are proposing is a great deal lmao
Exactly.
Value is subjective and varies from person to person, if you want to see what other people think about the 7900XT's value then look at the steam hardware survey where it actually doesn't even register despite being out for 9 months.Thing is Joxeon the 4070 isn’t a 4060 because Nvidia named it a 4070!

You can get a decent card for less than a third of that, as this thread has shown.
So what you are saying is, where is the 7800XTX
Yeah unfortunately crypto mining has ruined the GPU market for gamers as every time there has been a crypto boom the next gen that followed had massive price hikes and now we have AI taking the reins off mining.
I think Nvidia's superior RT and feature set outweighs raster performance for a lot of people especially at the higher price ranges.
