LOL, 4070 is 50% more expensive, what wrong with being 50% slower in those few and easily avoidable instances (lower a single setting, big deal 🙄)
Undying
Like texture quality? Its the most striking setting visually i dont want to reduce it.
Krizby
Don't lie to yourself, when you enable FSR, that crap is even more detriment to image quality than lowering texture quality hahah
Undying
Keep telling that to yourself and keep advocating for these 8gb cards i just hope people dont listen :P

I really liked that big header in bold:
"Shoppers shouldn't always be fooled by low inventory";)

Take some screenshot in Dead Space remake and tell me that FSR still give you Ultra Texture image quality 😀

Dont know how FSR and VRAM got dragged in to this.
Anyway, FSR is some new titles is really not an option if you care about Image quality.

prices have skyrocketed for 3 years now because of "limited inventory" and suddenly we learn that they have an inventory that they do not know what to do with.
And the prices are still 2x-3x what they were until the 2000 series. How is that for capitalism and consumer power?

They are unable to sell directly to miners like they had done for a few years, since ethereum can no longer be mined on video cards....... hence the situation they find themselves in.

Hold the line gentlemen, the nKraken starts to shiver.

If you can't play at your display's full resolution, FSR is a nice free way to make it look a little better, but it shouldn't ever be used as an excuse to get a lower-end card and expect to upscale at nearly-max fidelity. It also should never be only-enabled in hardware reviews (but I feel the same about DLSS in that regard).
What about Hell Ti?
Yeah, and perhaps some of us want to play something other than Metro for a decade. Some of us already have a GPU that is nearing 10 years old. I want to upgrade but it's BS what my options are after all this time.

Jensen can get bent with the present atrocious pricing, I wish them only the worst.
I could make use of 24gb vram, but I'm content to wait for 3090 used pricing to hit $600...

Does being financially disabled count?
I honestly thought this was a consequence of both Nvidia and AMD underreporting their expected earnings from crypto to shareholders, and looking to shore up the difference whilst trying to capitalise on scalper costs people were paying for GPU's. Being found to lie to shareholders usually results in you being sued for $$$, so they are probably keen to avoid this as much as possible.
The crypto gpu boom was partly as people were investing in something that was going to directly return part of their investment to them in the near future. This is no longer the case, and the sunken cost for enjoyment is proportionately higher and harder for many to justify.
If gpu's are prohibitively expensive on pc, I certainly would sooner jump more to console gaming than pay for a gaming streaming subscription for playing newly released titles.

LOL Don't beat yourself up.. I just bought an Asus Strix White Edition 4090 for $2,000. I'm guilty also. I'll keep the card for probably about 3-4 cycles tho.
Buy the best card you can afford and don't buy another one for like 3 yrs.. They will start feeling the pain if people do that.

I well I was doing that with mid range GTX 770 and 1060 .... Yeah my update cycle is almost distrupted by 3 year ..... :P hell for the first time ever I see prices here 1:1 to MSRP ..... Kinda 1:1 USD to euro but if you count in our vat and import taxes .... Not even the local shops try to sculp us ...the only bad thing is my 1060 .... I think it is singing it's swan song .....you can do it baby just hang in there ! :P

*buys $2,000 Nvidia GPU in protest of Nvidia GPU prices*
LMAO, some of the takes I read on this forum are amazing. Gamers have memory of a goldfish. What you posted here you'll forget in a week. You'll be lining up to buy 5090 and 6090 and so on and on.

Of course we will, its a hobby.

Nvidia need to give up and stop being stubborn, prices has to drop.
