I wish we could go back to the 90s and 2000s where gaming was at the forefront of tech instead of this IT/AI/datacentre bullshit

fucking ai man...This is also valid for AMD.
Gaming is 7.4% and trending to shrink. They have consoles, imagine that.
Everything is datacenters now.

With cut backs. People game on PC to avoid said cut backs.

I upgraded my 3080 to a 7900XT. Not a huge jump frame wise but the VRAM upgrade noticeably helped at 4K

My 1080 lasted 6-7 years. Maybe just wait out the generation. But for me, I would like to go 5070TI or 5080.
I also upgraded to a 3070 for $100 which could get me by. But honestly, I’ll be repurposing my old pc into a mini pc that will be my steam machine for the living room.

Nope they not even good for mining anymore.
but how good are these GPUs for other things outside gaming?

That feels a bit overdramatic IMO. You shouldn't be getting a new GPU every year. For those that have a dated GPU, I feel it's safer to go AMD for a lot of reasons. But for many of us with decent cards, there's no reason to replace what you currently have, at least not right now. Of course that's subjective though. Hell, if you're riding with a decent/above decent card, and you still want the newest to replace it, god speed, lol. I personally feel like if you have a 4000 series or 7900 series, you shouldn't jump to replace them just yet.
I went from 3080 to 7900 XTX, I traded in via Newegg (the trade-in value honestly wasn't bad), and I paid a difference of about $250-$300 at the time? So I'm good for awhile. I think this year made it clear that waiting is the right thing to do, unless you're really hurting to get something more recent/up to date.

"My dated 4070" I don't mean to be rude but dude... maybe you should use and enjoy your fucking GPU by playing some games and stop being a tech jerk.

Well, supply and prices are bad, and the lower ties cards seems to be only marginally better than the 40-series versions, but my experience with the 5090 have been nothing but awesome.
It's a a great GPU for sure.
For those looking for a card in a lower tier than the 5090, it's probably only worth it if you're coming from the 30-series or below, which I guess most folks who's in a hurry to upgrade does.
But in that case, the new Radeon cards is probably worth considering too.

Funny could have got DOUBLE the vram in a 7900XTX for $800

Feel like pc gaming is becoming more niche every year with huge price increases and and poor performing games, strange thing is console gaming don’t seem to be benefiting at all, it just seems as gamers leave, new gamers are not replacing them. They seem content on playing fortnight and fifa.

Fake frames and shiny water puddles that kill frames per second that you cannot notice unless you pause and zoom in 500%that is also dated due to lack of RT performance and bad upscaling. You can't win!
Play the ACTUAL game native at 1440/4k depending on title and forget the hype bs spin marketing talk.
Quick sucking Jensen’s dick the NPCs in here saying “it’s all about AI now” got their talking points from their Lord and Savior Jensen

I said upscaling not multi flame generation
and either way the shiny water puddles are only optional for so long my guy... We're already seeing it with games like Indiana Jones, Outlaws and MGS Delta requiring RT capable GPUs. It's only a matter of time before it becomes enforced on a game you want to play.

Alot of pc gamers are making cutbacks lol some even worse then current gen console players, if steam hardware survey is anything to go buy.

Good thing I'm not one of them. On console everyone drives a Prius. On PC a lot of people drive Prius but some people exercise the option to drive Porsches.

At 4K, that would make sense. I'm on a 32" 165hz QHD monitor so I can run pretty much anything above 60 with nice image quality.
I'm not really interested in upgrading to 4K for more resolution, but OLED makes me drool. I just haven't seen a model that has pushed me over the edge yet. I'm waiting for a 40" curved model. That adjustable curve LG they showed off at CES looked amazing.

Yeah, they cut back on having to compile shaders.

Ah yeah. It’s an HTPC, I play on a 77” Bravia 8 OLED and the 7900 XT handles 4K/120 on it nicely

just watched a few hours worth of reviews for the 7700XT 7800XT and 4060, 4060ti and 4070 and it was sad to see how they compare to their previous gen counter parts. In a lot of the cases the cards have actually regressed - what actually caused this? Gamers Nexus 7800XT benchmarks stated that on average the 6800XT is a better card, even though its cheaper - how can that be possible?Nvida:
-Lied about MSRP (even from their first parties you cannot get any 50xx series at MSRP)
-The bullshit 5070 can outperform the 4090 lie
-The pathetic launch stock
-Missing Rops on some 50 series cards
Nvidia just took a Giant shit in consumers faces. The sad thing is that some of the loyalist will gladly Toss that Salad.
AMD:
-The Price is ok but not going to convince many to switch. That is only if they can be had at MSRP. If it's another Nvidia situation the cards are another mediocre AMD Showing
-Performance overall even on the XT is not that great: I was itching to upgrade my dated 4070 but Most games in benchmarks by digital foundry and what not, there is less than 10 frames difference between my old 4070 and the newer 9070 xt
-FSR 4 is an improvement but still does not hold up to DLSS. Also FSR 4 especially at launch and for the near future will be a lot less supported
- I just don't see a reason to upgrade if your coming from a high end AMD last generation card or even a middle tier 40xx series cards. AMD has to do something dramatic to convince the masses to make the switch and the price to performance is just not good enough. It's good price to performance but not great.
Overall this Generations of GPU's:

I feel like on Mvidias side it's all a massive flop. AMD is about to release their most exciting product in donkeys years.
What we need to hope for is that enough people buy AMD to drive nvidia to rethink their stack/pricing.

Only good generation from a performance to price ratio was the 1000 series and before with the 1000 series being the best by far where a decent amount of people still uses 1060s to 1080s even today.
I still remember my first gtx card which was the gtx 260 being able to play even something like RE6 without too much lag or problem and the GTX 1070 which I'm still using now gave me almost a decade and will probably reach that amount because even though there's good games today still but none are interesting enough to make me wanna spend that much a new PC which are overpriced. Modded Fallout and Elder Scrolls are all I need. GTA VI would probably be the first game in a long long time that would motivate me to spend the money. Especially if Elder Scrolls VI and Witcher 4 are also coming out afterwards.

The market is split between PS and Nintendo and will be more healthy without Xbox.
Also, at this point, it's almost like Xbox doesn't even exist anymore anyway (hardware).

It's highly likely it will perform just as good if not better than the PS7. So you have time.

Given that gamers treat AMD as the "Nvidia discount service" is that surprising?
If you have a 4070, how about you shut the fuck up and wait a generation. 90% of PC gamers would be more than happy to upgrade to that level of performance, forget about more.

So? Why should anyone do that anyway? Why not wait 5 years like a sane person?
Consoles only get updated every 7 years for a reason.
You gabe-obsessed, balding, nerdy creatures should learn to be patient.
