Whole graphics cards market is absolute shitshow and has been for several years now. Piss poor availability, bullshit MSRP prices no one can buy anything at, lackluster performance gains and worst of all, absolutely idiotic real world prices. 1000€ for a somethingsomething 70 card from NVIDIA is just absolutely insane. This is just out of control and this is what will actually collapse the PC gaming industry as whole, not consoles, handhelds or laptops. This greedy bullshit NVIDIA is doing. And AMD is basically forced to follow, they just make their “flagship” few bucks cheaper because they are second best option atthe moment.
The counter argument to this is Intel’s B570 which goes for about $300 where I live (full out of pocket price).
That’s not too bad at all. I haven’t had a chance to try Intel’s dGPUs (to evaluate their driver quality), but this does seem to be a compelling option.
Issue is, I need something more powerful. B570 is slower than my 4 years old RTX 3080… I’d pay up to 800€ for RTX 5070Ti, but not 1200. Waiting to see how RX 9070XT works out, but I bet it’ll be around there with performance and price of 1200€ as well. Which is why all of it is stupid.
But why do you want to change the 3080? Is it because of the VRAM?
Some newer games are starting to run slow and I also have 240Hz monitor so I kinda need higher framerate. VRAM is probably slowly becoming and issue too.
