    While I understand the comparison between a 4070 and a 3080, I think that entirely ignores the cutting edge tech users.

    Some people want the highest frames. Personally, I want 4K at 240hz. I play FPS, and I want nice quality too. That has yet to exist as a product, so we still have ways to go.

    I don’t like DLSS, and frame generation. I did try it, and they had issues in Cyberpunk. The quality just wasn’t there.

    The other thing is AI. There are companies built on Stable Diffusion. You purchase a time/result and in return you can generate images or text queries. Those are backed by GPUs at the end. I’ve tried Stable Diffusion locally on a 4090 and even then, it’s not fast.

    As for Intel and AMD, I unfortunately have no hope. I hold a large amount of stocks in AMD and I really hope they get it right, but their software group isn’t at the cutting edge and are far behind. Their VR issues have been on going and mentioned during every update. When you mention that, the users get upset stating it’s good enough; it’s not. As for Intel, they have yet to get their head out of their ass. With Pat at the helm, I have no hope anytime soon. He’s still wearing the marketing hat, thinking they’re ahead.
