After 25 years of building PCs with midrange level cards (or less), I can finally afford a better one, and the internet has to go and make me feel guilty about it. Waaah.

You got that right! Remember when the "VooDoo" card was the top dog and $500?

sure, but if you calculate increase in price in relation to increase in perf, short of the last 2 gens, they were usually cheaper/or same.
ignoring that virtually everthing is now more expensive, no matter if its bread, milk or gas, even burgers now cost more than 25c..
so to have accurate comparison, you have to adjust for Inflation etc

That's true and I wanna say I was paying a $1.25 a gallon back then. But seriously folks, it was hell during covid trying to get certain hi-end parts for a build. Lesson learned, you wait, you risk not getting what you want or paying insane money to scalpers on ebay. Study long, study wrong. But you are correct about the performance level. DCS simulator is way, way cool compared to MS Combat Flight Simulator Ⅱof 2000 and Windows '98. Nvidia AGP's were just getting started. 3DFX was about to die.
