A gaming GPU has cost as much as a console for a while now.

No one forces you to spend a thousand dollars on a 4090. An RTX 3060 will outperform a PS5 by a big margin, and for under 200 bucks

Man, 4070ti (a midrange card) is almost a thousand. 4090 is two thousand

Apologies in advance, but you have got to be bloody insane to think the 4070ti is a midrange card.

[–] SuperSpecialNickname@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It certainly doesn't outperform 80 and 90 series cards. The 70 series cards have always been performant budget oriented cards, not the top end but pretty good performance for the cost. 4070 and ti are not that.

Oh jeez I didn't realise you were talking in context of just the 40 series and thought you meant all the cards 😅 My mistake.
