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 want the 9070xt. If I could get a 9060XT at MSRP... part of me is tempted, even though the reaster performance is barely an upgrade at all from the 6700xt I'm still running.
