COVID proved to the industry that people will pay anything to be able to keep playing their video games, and it's hurt the consumer base as a whole in a major way. I'm old enough now that I can afford this shit, but I feel for the up and coming generations. It's such a barrier to entry, they might be enjoying record profits for now, but in the long run they're on the path to causing another industry crash IMO.
My rant for the day as someone that started over 20 years ago on solid $100-200 GPUs...
I would not worry about the 12gb VRAM at all on the 5070. It's solidly a 1080p/1440p card and with DLSS, 99.8% of the games out there won't exceed that.

Video Card Original MSRP (2005) Adjusted Price (2025)
GeForce 7800 GTX $599 $1,081.86
GeForce 7800 GTX 512 $649 $1,172.17
GeForce 7800 GT ~$449 ~$810.15
GeForce 6600 GT $200 $361.22
GeForce 6600 $150 $270.92
ATI Radeon X800 XL $299 $540.03
from what i recall 6600 was definitely the low end budget card so while they have crept up, its not as much as you think it is?
