I’ve never been able to afford such an up-to-date card. I know it’s not the latest and greatest, but it’s the best I have ever been able to afford!

    Congrats! This was as far as my budget would allow too, and can confirm it is better than the Radeon R7 250 I had before it.

    The 4070 Ti SUPER is the best valued card of the whole 40 series with more RAM over 4070 Ti and a wider bus over the 4070 Ti. You did excellent.

    Dude, I don’t know, it’s pretty latest. At least for a few more days.

    Go have fun. Mess with frame generation. Don’t listen to the snobs, all pixels are real pixels.

    Check out Quake 2 RTX when you have a second. I know everybody is all about benchmarking Cyberpunk, but man, will Q2RTX give you buyers’ squee for zero money.

    I’m going to get the same card when I build my new rig here in the next few months. Solid choice, have fun!

    Is there a reason you did not wait for like a couple weeks for the new cards to come out?

      I had to pull the trigger based on price. I knew there was no way I would be able to get in on the MSRP level of the new cards. Too many scalpers.

        Yeah, I’d do the same if I needed a card with the price being good, uncertain supply, and potential tarrifs. Been multiple generations since a GPU has had a launch where stuff is available, didn’t have scalpers, and then price hikes.

        No more evga around either to be able to reserve a spot online to buy at retail price without having to fight bots and camp out at stores.

        One of my biggest regrets when purchasing pc components was not buying a 2080 two weeks before the 3080 came out. I ended up stuck with my rX 5700xt in my new build for like 2 years until prices came back down.

        It’s a paper launch anyway, and it’s been two gens since mass upgrades made old cards dirt cheap. 4090s are still running higher than MSRP two days before the next gen comes out. It’s a good call if you got a good price based on today’s market.
