Love to see more competition between AMD and Nvidia in other aspects than gaming. Competition in general is good for the consumer.

In that case if you have the extra dough you could maybe go for a 7900 XTX? It blows the 4070 Ti out of the water and trades blows with the 4080, it’s also got a nice bump in specs but it will be lacking in things like Blender.

Wait until the 4070 Ti Super, rumours say it’ll have 16GB vs 12 on the 4070 Ti, if that’s true it might be worth it, depends on the price completely tho.

90Hz is truly such a game changer, not like you’ll get 90hz in every game, but my laptop for example also has a high-res 90hz panel, it only has an igpu so it won’t game, especially not at 90hz but the 90hz makes things overall so much more smoother vs 60.

By this logic, it’ll take 100 months or 8.3 years before your battery capacity gets to just 80%, it’s extremely optimistic yeah, but still, stop worrying about it. Worst case scenario you’ll have to get your battery replaced after half a decade, at which point it’ll be well worth it.
