I bought a 1070 Ti around 6 months after the 20 series came out. I paid roughly $250 $500* at that time. Today the 3070 Ti would be the equivalent. I don’t know if the 40 series has been out for 6 months, but one 3070 Ti is currently going for about $700, and I’m supposed to believe these prices are “normal”? I guess those prices aren’t too far off, considering inflation. Still higher than ideal though.

Edit: I looked up my receipt for said purchase of 1070 Ti in 2018. Looks like I actually paid around $500. I thought I purchased two cards for that price, but I guess my wife bought her own and I remembered wrong.

Depends what you mean by equivalent. The equivalent hardware performance would roughly be a 3050Ti

Yep. And you might argue that 70 makes it the same skew, but you could also argue that they just shifted their lineup a step upwards with 70 series replacing 80 series.

I saw new 3080s being on sale for $700 back in November. Some of them had Newegg gift cards in the tune of like $150 on top.

Anf 4070ti goes for $900, at least where I live.
