I think there is reason to be cautiously optimistic here as well. I mean there's definitely a bit of a pattern forming.

10 series (good)
20 series (bad)
30 series (good but crypto/pandemic scalp-fest)
40 series (bad)
So surely we're up for a good generation next.
I double dare them!
For most buyers, maybe. But plenty of people did figure it in their decisions as 8GB was always going to age badly and be poor for mods. No FE and AMD's lack of reference models in the UK made a big difference - just ask CAT whether they would have preferred 12GB 6700 XT vs the 3060 Ti FE they eventually got? Nvidia selling reference models at MSRP was the sole reason.
For a 5060ti to be as fast as a 4090 it would need to be +200% faster than a 4060ti and considering even on a good year Nvidia dishes out +50% it’ll be many years before Nvidia gives out 4090 performance for £400 and by then a 60ti will probably be pushing £600 anyway.
AMD didn't push enough. BF4 was the biggest thing (done right) with Mantle, other than that... not much. Even crap implementation for stuff such as Eyefinity/Multidisplay in Far Cry series (although FC2 worked great).
AMD didn't have a penny to push mantle as they nearly went bust, then as they promised from the start, they handed it over to MS and Chronos and we got DX12 and Vulkan, and Nv users didn't want to touch DX12 in the first few years as AMD was on top until Nv caught up because they needed DX12 for RT'ing and surprise surprise Nv users love their DX12 RT'ing and DLSS don't they?
AMD are not Nv, AMD is a package CPU-Console-GPU's-Steamdecks+Handheld PC's, where GPU's lay in AMDS priorities idk, whereas NV make gpus.
I have zero issues with your/others highly positive experience with upscaling, I really don't, I respect that, that's what PC gaming is all about, as I said earlier-Different needs for different users.
Eyefinity, don't know about FC series, but Eyefinity whupped Nv rotten, it was highly configurable and streets ahead of Nv, you could use a centre display, with two smaller displays in portrait mode for side windows and mirrors.
And don't mention 3 displays into Nv gpus in this house!
AMD's 79s are heavy on the power too though, doesn't read like there is a fix inbound either
You running Wallpaper Engine animated desktops?
It's too early at this point I think, just existing rumours about it being about twice the A770 in terms of shaders etc. plus higher clock speeds at the high end, to be released at some point in 2024... We hope early in 2024 so it doesn't get immediately overshadowed by Blackwell and RDNA4.
If they continue the trend of raising prices and neglecting the mid-range and lower segments with the new series, there will be more than enough room in that segment for Battlemage, and Intel will also be able to make some profit from it.
I have 4x 144Hz monitors (one of them is actually a 165Hz) running off a 3060ti and the GPU downclocks to 210/101 MHz when idle as long as they are all set to the same refresh rate.
