I'm likely to be in the market for a 4070Ti or 4080 level of card for my new system. However every reviewer, every commenter - everyone except the manufacturers - says that current gen card prices are around $£€250 above what they should be as a hangover from mining (I guess manufacturers trying to force the prices up artificially)
My current system (i7 9700K, 64Gb DDR4)has a 3070Ti which I can take over to the new system - it could buy me time. As I understand it, the games I play (the 2 I have most issues with are Cities Skylines and Transport Fever 2 - not the only games I play though, honest) are more processor bound than graphics bound so I don't think I have an immediate need for a new graphics card, if prices are likely to come down meaningfully.
Does anyone think they might come down? Or should I just bite the bullet and buy now?
Also conscious it would probably be easier to sell my current system with a 3070Ti than a my old, spare 1070, and I'll be trying to sell pretty much as soon as the new system is up....
Any thoughts?
