Even if i wanted a 5070 or the not to be seen this time around 5060 i could not afford it. I am not paying close to 1000 pounds for a GPU.
For one i dont need bleeding edge graphics.
Two, i cant afford a damn 1000 pound GPU that will last me 3 or 4 years at the most. Providing it does not die a natural death during that time.
Three, we are not even getting the full guarantee that you will get the GPU's full specs as there are faults now. The card could come to you with a 1000 pound price tag and if missing the ROP's, then it would barely, if at all, break the last gens performance. Pay 1000 pounds to play roulette on if i get good silicone or not?
Not gonna happen.
I am wincing at the thought of a 600 pound (MSRP which we wont see in a million years) 9070xt. That card will not be 600 and more like 800.
800 for a card that might beat a last gen 4070 or 4080?
pff...after 30 years of PC gaming, consoles are starting to look attractive again. I can browse the web, do emails and watch netflix on my already paid for Raspberry Pi 4. I dont need a, now, 1500 to 2000 pound computer to play games at mediocre settings
