Lol. It do bee that way. I think it’s a good price to performance ratio, though. Always buy the flagship and always skip a gen. Worked out for me so far.

Nvidia:
-Manufacture enough cards to satisfy demand at a fair cost? NO NO NO
-Limit production to create artificial scarcity so you can charge 300% more!

Are you sure about “every” Nvidia user?

I actually recently just picked up 2 3070s for 200$ each from a guy on offer up and both worked perfectly fine to me that’s a great deal probably one of the best deals I have found by far on offer up

Meanwhile I converted my 3080Ti to water cooled so it can last my abuse till 2027. When Gta6 comes, only then I’ll think about upgrading.

I built my PC during peak GPU shortage in 2021. The 3080 failed within a month, returned it but there was no replacement as you’d expect. Had to downgrade to a 1030 for a few months. Cue the Green Mile ‘really tired boss’ meme.

Idk I’m pretty happy with my 3080ti and prolly gonna skip the next 3-4 gens. Doesn’t seem like much improvement so far.

Just bought a 4080 super. Gonna ride it until the 7 series.

I’ve skipped 3 generations and my 1080 is doing fine, maybe when the 50 series comes out I’ll grab a 4080

Day one microcenter with my cousin. Thats the plan

No, for me either sometime this year or next year I plan to upgrade from a 3060 Ti to a 4070 Ti Super.
And after you finally get your hands on it, they release Super the very next day.

my 3070 can wait till 7070 …

Been rocking my RX580 for a while now and I’m just waiting for a price drop to upgrade

got rid of my 3070ti for a 7900xtx. the vram limitation on 8gbs for modern games suck. makes it worse when nvidia releases a 12gb 3060 -_-

I had a 1050ti and just recently upgraded to 4090- i guess i should be alright in skippin the next gens
Snotnarok
I was going to wait for the 50 series but after seeing a 4070tiSuper for MSRP at microcenter?
I had enough saved up to jump. My 2070 served me well and I sold it off to my brother’s friend so it wound up being worth it and has so far? Been real good to me.

I just bought a 4070 so I’ll wait for the 70 or 80 series before I throw my hat in the game again

PS4 era: 4 gb VRAM and above. Don’t buy a 2014 GTX 970 4gb. 2016 Nvidia Pascal/AMD Polaris has a cheaper 4 gb card.
PS5: wait for midrange 16 gb graphic card cheaper than RTX 4070.

More like: there wont be a 5080
And after you finally get your hands on it, they release Super the very next day.
