No man. Its nothing to do with chull or self esteem. I managed for 4 years with 1080. So can still manage for an year. Question is about value for money. I am not sure what 4xxx series card I can get for 78k and its performance vs 3080ti.
The 4000 series will be a great jump in performance because TSMC N4 node is simply far superior than the fake 8nm node of Samsung this is already evident in the numbers being leaked.
All the GPUs are being clocked really higher even upto 2.6ghz that's simply unheard of combined with one of the stiffest competition from AMD this time in the form of RDNA 3
This will be great series and far superior than what turing(2000) was from Pascal(1000).
4070 will match 3090 performance this has been confirmed by all credible leakers.
But the issue is NVIDIA and both AMD are not going to release them first. They will only launch high end cards first and 4080 and 4070 if launched at all at the end of year will only be a paper launch.
Also after any initial launch availability is always low because those who can afford will snap it up plus production is also at a stage where it is just getting started so it also needs time ramping up.
Also lower cards are essentially just cut down lower binned version of high end cards so it's like they have to collect and store all those failed 4080 to bin them to 4070 so obviously that take time.
I guess what I am saying you still have 6-9 months confirmed maybe upto a year before 4070 will hit the market and before it will be available for a reasonable price.
So play with your 3080 ti and you'd still be able to flip it at a good price and recover the money for a upgrade 4080 and 4070 are a 2023 product so long ways off
