Grates on me that £450+ 3070 and £650+ 3080 is the norm now for a mid/high end graphics card.
I might just take up some other hobbies.

You're not the only one.

£650 once got you the top of the line card (not including Titans here) in the 1080 Ti.

Now it gets you a Vram gimped second tier card...and suddenly its got people raving it's some kind of a bargain!

I like to get out on my bike, personally.

I do go out less when it gets colder and darker though.

I'm going to try and do more of it this winter.

The 3080 is the flagship CONSUMER card with the 3070 being the mid range. The 3090 is meant to be a card for pro's but as we are on a forum surrounded by super enthusiasts talk of buying a 3090 as a consumer card is common but elsewhere not so much.......the low vram count is another story though :)

It's bound to be higher it's 1080p.

What matters I think to most is 4k, that's the next leap up everyone wants if they are hooked up to their shiny new 4k TVs.

Look at fresh post from jump in 1080p is very small growing with resolution. I'm buying for 4k gaming anyway so 1080p and 1440p does not matter to me. For me its 4K VR and Raytracing as I.m buying purely for Wow shadowlands Raytracing and Cyberpunk 2077 as someone that played cyberpunk 2020 with mates while drinking cheap wine in old abounded train. Good times
