If we see a 4060ti at £450, that would put it pretty much at the same price as the 3060ti FE at launch when accounting for inflation, and if it has a 50% improvement on the 3060ti, then it should still be classed as the best bang for buck?

I sold my 3090 for 500 pounds, it's faster than the 4070ti at nearly half price. People shouldn't be buying new 4070ti's they should go buy second hand 3080/3080ti/3090 instead and pocket the money
A man can dream, can't he?
Those who are long overdue an upgrade are not the targets of negative comments, it's those who already have a high end card who must have a new one due to FOMO because they believe the crap that NVidia says about performance, forcing prices to stay at stupid levels.
It's those people who are getting ridiculed.
I'm surprised you even got that for your 3090, didn't you smash it up with a hammer before selling it ?
This generation is to me one of the worst ever I have seen in all my life for pricing. Also this is when I was paying £600-800 for the best gpus over 20 years ago and people were laughing at me back then for doing that and saying buy a console or an all in one pc.
So what your saying is, you helped bring about the situation we are in and now the prices have become too high even for you, you are crying
Will be funny if the trend continues and the RTX 6090 becomes £2499. We may see Grim join you
Not what I said, as there is no upgrade path for me and my system is built for work and need NVLINK as you know.
I'm looking at things from the gaming side here as work systems pay for themselves over time, gaming systems don't as they are for entertainment.
I didn't help with that as I was coming from a 980ti then updated to the pc in my signature. I held out as long as I could and in end with lockdowns and working from home had to update or loose my work. So did I add to it? not really as I was due an update and reality is I didn't purchase them for gaming.
The whole thing seems short term thinking, if people get fed up with it, sell up and make the jump to consoles, it's unlikely they will come back.
Everyone's got a different upgrade path. And i think the 4080 is 4060 joke is losing context. Right now it's amd with their 7900 is 7700 are obfuscating the market. Theres a strong 90 factor for people deciding between a 4070 ti and 7900 xtThe buyers remorse is going to be very strong for people paying £800 - £1000 for XX60 tier cards! A couple of months ago I paid £370 for my brand new 3060ti. I felt like it was an average deal at the time. Now you can pay more than double the price for about double the performance of an over two year old card! That is not stagnation, that is regression on price to performance. I am also comparing a 3060ti Founders Edition which is a premium product with a really nice cooler and design. You are paying over £800 for a 4070ti and getting a bare bones PCB with some cheap looking plastic and metal cooler.
There are always going to be mugs who have more money than sense, and people like Gibbo are obviously going to hype up things and put a positive spin on it, but please, don't become one of those mugs. If this is your hobby, you don't have an unlimited budget to pour into it and you don't want to be priced out completely eventually. Just say no.
Ask yourself this, do I really need to upgrade my GPU to play the games I play? I reckon most people will answer no.
You know what it is. Nvidia made an absolute killing from Crypto, look at their financials for that period, as soon as that ended their revenues fell off a cliff.
They are ###### determined to make us pay for those revenues, for them its a war of attrition and they will be incredibly stubborn about it. those Ada cards need to be sitting on shelves long enough to collect dust, 80% of everything Nvidia made needs to be collecting dust, they need to be bringing in far less revenue than they would selling them for several quarters, they need to feel it, they need to be hurting badly to change direction, the question is who will flinch first?
