It does matter. As long as people buy these horrible priced cards you can expect the MSRP to go bonkers. Next time you’re gonna defend the 5060 ti for $800 because it’s marginally better than the 4070.

The 3060 was $300-350 at MSRP just as the 2060 while offering substantial gains. These cards are horribly priced.

I get your point, but people should vote with their wallet.

No one's arguing that these cards arent horribly priced but you'd be a fool to buy an inferior product at the same cost just for the sake of principle. If the 3080 and 3090s were available for $700 or less then they would make sense but they're not so the 4070ti is objectively the better buy here. It's a shitty situation but it is what it is. 

The only other option is going for the 7900xt which forces you to make the same compromises but at least your money doesn't go to nvidia I guess
