The 9070XT isn’t very good, it only looks half decent as Nvidia are using the 50 class die for the 5070 and a 60 class die for the 5070ti.
I mean sure but that's what's being released nowadays so for what you can get for the money, I rate it personally.
I forsee even more fake performance, 6090 £3,000.
What? it's one of the fastest cards around
The 5090 is over 80% faster yet a few years ago AMD were putting out cards like the 6800XT in these price ranges which were only being beaten out by the 3090 by 15%.
I sold my 4090 for £93 less than I paid for it 2.5 years before, so the 4090 cost me £93 for two and a half years of use. I then bought a 5090 for £2300 which with the 4090 'rebate' meant it 'cost' me £550. If it lasts two years I'll have owned the fastest card available for 4.5 years total cost £2300 or £511 per year or a tenner a week to have the best card there is and that cost is without factoring in the sale price of the 5090 when I eventually sell it. Seems to me the stupid people are those that mess around with the mid range that have a tiny resale value while giving a less than stellar gaming experience. Clearly the AI potential of the very best cards means they retain loads of resale value so this is a relatively new thing and I would never have bought a 3090 as its value was super weak.
I rate your mindset. I can't fault anything that you've said to be fair, and totally agree, if you can afford the best and barely loose anything and it's only cost you £10 a week for years of being able to have the best you can buy, basically loose nothing, repeat; then you'd be crazy not to do this!
I hear what you're saying but he's right. 9070XT is a good card but that is because Nvidia with total market dominance and AI riches is doing what Intel did with CPU cores until AMD competed again. At least now there is proper competition in the mid-market and gamers can get a very good PC gaming experience for less than £700.
It's a new thing for me and a product of good luck not good judgement as I have owned a top card for at least 90% of my gaming life and they previously sold for 60-80% of their original cost if you timed it well.
I used to do something similiar with brand new iPhones - well, it started off as I bought a top end model with a smashed screen from an auction, then the smallest GB model locked to a crap network, again auction, swapped the screen, bingo a phone worth £450-600, even a year later, sold that when the new one released, bought the new one factory unlocked highest GB direct from Apple, kept that a year until the new one came out, sold the last one, repeat.
Yep, and conning us with the naming policy.
I mean, the specs alone versus the 3090 showed it was going to be crazy powerful, so that would have given him reasonable grounds that it would hold good money, and it was the halo best of the best of it's time, and people will always pay for that, be it a minority or not, and stock is always less than demand, so I'd say it was a low risk gamble?
