My two cents.. the 5700XT being around $250 now used sets a base point of $300 for what the 4060Ti offers in terms of rasterization, at 12GB VRAM that is. IMO there is no game out there besides Minecraft that makes ray tracing ON look better than OFF.. in fact quite the opposite, too much fake reflections and stutter actually tells ME that RT is but gimmick on games other that can natively run on 600+fps like half life, Minecraft etc. Fake frames as I see it is just the same as those TV that did fake 120hz, although those just literally repeated the frame and that's not what FG is claiming to do, the result is the same noneteless, real 60fps and the game achieving 60fps through FG are NOT the same. Where I'm getting at.. for ME based on my observations a card real value is solely on rasterization, period. The 4060Ti 16GB is set to launch $200 more expensive than it should at 5700XT current price of $250 used. These two cards will literally tie when benchmarks are out despite the 5700xt costing literally half, mark my words. The 4070 (aka renamed 4060), just tie with the 3080 10GB.. this one can be bought for around $400 used.. so another $200 mark up. The 6950XT $600 ties with the 4070Ti $800.. another $200 for fake RT and FG. And finally the 7900 series tie with the 4080, but here is the thing.. the RX 7900 XT can be bought RIGHT NOW for around $700. Yes.. $700! that's a 20GB card literally 2x faster than a 4060TI 16GB, and 20% faster than the more expensive 4070 Ti. The 7900XT beats the 4070 Ti even in RT on a lot of games! The 4080? Pf.. now it ties with the 7900XT for $500 more! People buying into Nvidia are IMO completely clueless, seriously. That's the power of marketing for you. Let that just sink.. the "RTX 4080 20GB" can be bought right now for $700 at ebay.

No BS benchmarks.. the $600 4070 is not on pair with a 6950xt as "some sites" want people to believe.. the 6950XT equals a 4070Ti and the 7900XT equals a 4080. You can see the results, RT included for anyone that cares, the now $700 7900XT 20GB crushes the $800 4070Ti 12GB, that's a no brainer. I don't see a reason to buy the XTX at $900, it's just around 15% faster, same goes for a whooping $1600 4090. IMO at actual real play, no fps numbers on a screen, NO ONE can tell even a 4090 from a 7900XT at 99% of games, at 4K. The 7900XT at $700 averages 100fps while the 4090 140fps .. certainly a interesting boost for someone who own a 144hz 4K tv/monitor, but for someone with a 120hz? No one can tell, that's for sure. And I don't know you but I think $1000 is a lot of cash, if you consider most games will play 4K max settings at max the refresh rate of a 120hz OLED TV you have to wonder if it really justify it. The 7900XT thus at $700 is IMO the KING of 4K and 1440p gpus, but when value is not taken into consideration of course then it's the 4090. The 3080 10GB is the GPU to go for 1080p high refresh at around $400 used while there's no 7700XT or whatever GPU AMD is launching at that price point new, and the 3060 series is still the 60fps plays it all king with 12GB around $200.. though the 6700XT is so close in price that probably it's a better choice, it's a great 30% faster in general so that's the one I would go. So that's it for me right now.. 7900XT for 4k120/1440p240, 3080 for 4K60/1080p144 and 6700XT for 1080p at around 80fps and a bonus 4k at the usual console locked 30fps (most recent games at ultra settings)
Just sayin'
