I'm going to hold out with my 1070 as long as I can because prices just aren't where I want them.

I went 1070 to a 6800xt last year. 7800xt/4070 is a perfectly viable upgrade route. I'm getting 2-3x the performance lol. The pp$ turns into shit past $500 though. I would recommend discounted 7800xt if you want the best pp$. It actually performs close to a 6950xt in a lot of newer titles, even better with a light OC (AMD makes OC dumb easy).

Also no idea why Steve said the 6800XT is faster than the 7800XT? Its clearly not.

He didn't? I watched the review and all I heard him say is it a specific price it's cheaper than the 7800 XT and it "often trades places with it". And that "we saw the 6800 XT outperform the 7800 XT in several tests in our review". That's not "faster than the 7800XT", that's just saying that in some cases the 6800 XT is the better card.
