Simply put, if the 2nd from the flag ship aren't coming down back to pre-covid bitcoin level(aka 7~800 range), I might have to abandon PC gaming in the future.
I currently have a AMD 6800XT bought directly from AMD, so slightly over 800 after tax. It should last another 3 years at least. But any new ones(I only look at 2nd in line in terms of performance for each series) are all 1200+ before tax. (7900XT and 4080). And from what I can see in games that I have it's not graphically more impressive than those on PS5 even at max settings.(unless developer provides higher res texture etc compare to the console build) There really is no point chasing the upgrades.
Name me one game that's a must play on PC have significant better graphics wise compare to console one.( not frame rate, we all know properly bulit PC without shit ports usually have better frame rate than console.)
Remember when the 1080 Ti was $700?
Still using my $750 1080Ti
I wanted that but I couldn't afford it, then the prices went up for Turing. Apparently the 4060 Ti beats the 1080 Ti, I'm going to buy the 4060. I've never owned something with 8GB.
