My recent realization is that the very high-end of the GPU market is totally unnecessary. A 4070 can play practically any game at 4K with decent framerates. And if you are fine with just “high” settings instead of maxed out, at very good framerates too.
In 2020 I bought a 2080 Super for more than 800€, I considered it crazy expensive but I had the money and my 1070 had died. 23 months later it died and Amazon refunded the money, so I proceeded to buy another GPU. That money was only enough for a 3070ti and I still had to pay 30-40€ more. I’m happy with my 3070ti for now, and I hope it lasts long enough, I don’t think I can afford that kind of money anymore.
With high-end GPUs costing what they still cost, I don’t think we’re out of it just yet.

A 4070 is the high end, though. Any laptop with a 4070 in it will cost over £1.5k
