With high-end GPUs costing what they still cost, I don't think we're out of it just yet.
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.
This makes me wonder though, if you're going for a 4070 chasing value/performance, why wouldn't you go AMD at that point?
DLSS is way too good. All the "fair" benchmarks don't take upscaling into account, where Nvidia is lightyears ahead.
Having used both I wouldn't call it "lightyears". FSR is not as good but both of them have issues and ultimately I realized I just don't actually care that much. Upscaling means you're going to be breaking the image at some point in exchange for higher frame rates, and I find slow downs more immersion breaking than minor image artifacts.
