"If you're expecting any card to be wholly relevant in 3 years regardless, you're already out of your depth and should switch to consoles."
Want to try to move those goal posts again, lol?
Dude, you're clearly getting overly offended.
As I said previously, "relevant" and "obsolete" are not the same thing.
Take it up with nVidia and AMD if you're that mad, but yes, your 3 year old card is no longer the talk of the town.
Do you honestly think enthusiasts are upgrading in 3 year cycles?
Surely not, when people like the one I responded to are moaning about 12GB of vRAM, when it's still plenty for every game out there to be run at more than reasonable settings.
And yes, if you have an issue with upgrading to keep up, switch to consoles. It will make your life a lot easier and you'll still get to play 80% of the games out there, since all the flagships are ports.
If this card was sitting around $399-449 it would be fine. Its just been inflated w/ Nvidia tax, like when the 4070 launched (at not ideal reviews).
GPU prices are insane right now and have been for years and seeing how AIBs are asking 200-300usd premiums on their models is making the market a consumer nightmare.
If you do not need the nvidia suite AMD's 9070XT is a solid buy at MSRP. Otherwise, just wait for the 5060 and 9060's to drop and see where the market sways.
If anything we will start to see things drop back down to MSRP but I do not expect anything lower than that.

AI pictures?
The only thing more VRAM has done for gamers is let developers be lazy.
And it's not even solving all the problems they create when you give them crutches.
My 3080Ti 12gb is doing just fine
Alright, we get it - you're mad that underpaid, over-worked devs get to be "lazy". Deal with it because it is what it is now.
Everything aside - you sound like a bitter and unbearable person to be around, sheesh. Touch grass - get you a 7900xtx and you can still touch grass in 4k on high settings in 2025.
It's not great that they dropped 32bit Physx support, but you have to remember that these are features AMD never even had when the game was new.
Also, adding a second card like a 4050 will still allow you to use 32bit Physx.
At least until the abstraction layer that will convert the 32bit calls to 64bit comes out. I guarantee someone is working on a patch right now.
If a 4070 Super were available for the same price, I would choose the 4070 Super. Its crazy that the 5070 was released without any(or very little) performance increase from a 4070 Super.
I did buy a 5120x1440 monitor, which is pixel wise close to 4k, so I am a little worked that this 5070 is not going to be great.
I do fear the tarifs messing things up.
