Well no it's not. But at least for mid range cards, there's competition. You can buy cheaper mid range parts.
Yes it was sarcasm. But he's right as well, I have to agree. Top cards show a different picture though, with no competition (at least not until RDNA2 hits the shelves). There is no choice if you want top dog. Like you said, for that top card one has to have more cash at hand for our hobby / luxury.
Yeah and a midrange 3070 600$ is a steal.

I may be completely daft, but was that sarcasm, or not?

You're right. If you want to play current games on the best possible picture and/or framerate, you have to accept the steep prices. It wasn't always as bad (my venerable GTX 670 was nowhere near the price of what the 3070 is probably going to be), but times change.

Excited for the wait to be over. My 1080ti has been an amazing performer but I'm ready to snag a rtx3080 when preorders open up.. don't think my case is big enough for the 3090
