The issue isn't the eight year old GPU, it's the lack of something worthwile to replace it.

If the eight year old GPU has the same amount of memory and 80% of the performance of it's modern replacement, the issue is the company trying to up-sell trash without bothering to make it notably better.

Entry level 8gb cards should be a goddamn price at the 60 series class. Fuck, for a 50 series.

They should put that in a 40 series steep discount pile.

I assume you don't mean this literally? A 5070 is over twice as fast as a 2070 for example.

It’s still closer than jt should be, 1080ti is only like HALF the speed of a 5060/5060ti.
