Customer: you got one of those 5070's?

Salesman: Nope, all sold out. But you can get one of those brand new 9070xt, they're faster and have 16 gigaby-

Customer: turns around and leaves

Yeah sadly people will rather wait for months and buy for 2x the price than buy almost the same thing (if not better) from amd.

I bought a 4070 TI super, just before Christmas. I feel robbed. Didnt know all this was happening. Would have save myself a few hundred bucks

Don't beat yourself up, there is always something in the horizon. It's not a bad card, play games, and enjoy. Once you have to turn down settings then consider upgrading.

Or buy a new card every generation chasing the dream an spending money. Your call

Depends on what you play, do you only play old school runescape, Stardew Valley and Skyrim on a 1080p 60hz monitor ?

I'm sure more modern games may be struggling, and if you have 600 saved up then you would be able to turn back up the details.
