Lol you have a 3090, which is still faster than 99.5% of GPU out there, yet you feel bad because you can't upgrade? that's just self-own you know.
It's like a guy driving a Ferrari getting jealous of Bugatti-driver LMAO
I wouldn't call a 3090 a GPU faster than 99% of cards out there anymore, especially not a standard 2x 8-pin power limited model, but I'll live, for now. It's probably going to perform like a fancy, 24 GB 4070 that chugs power and can't do DLSS 3.
But it's also the first time I'll be running a GPU through two full generations, and that's just absurd. We are on a tech enthusiast forum, you know? I'm glad to have it but it's also almost three years old, and that is a geological age in the PC landscape.
I don't get posts like these. Nvidia is not a charity. Why do you expect them to drop prices when their competitor offers less for similar money? I mean you do realise that, at actual launch prices, the 4070ti was the best performance per $ card right? And that's just raster, completely ignoring efficiency, rt performance, dlss, fg etc.
Is it expensive? Sure.
Is it more expensive than it should be? Sure.
But it was still the best value card so, whatever, I wouldn't drop prices either when inferior products were even more expensive
The entire point of new hardware generations is to bring feature and performance per watt/dollar improvements to the customer. Ada product stack was cut in a way that none of the SKUs offer anything substantial, except for the 4090, which is being sold in a high yield, poor quality silicon configuration - with a large amount of disabled cache slices and SM units. But the prices sure have gotten much higher, especially in a global context.
Meanwhile I'm sure Nvidia is building inventory of fully enabled AD102 chips for a refresh cycle.
