15 years? What are you talking about? My 1080 when it was new was about $500-550, and the top end 1080ti was only $650ish. Only in the past few years has both AMD & Nvidia been screwing everybody over in terms of pricing.

I don’t have the XTX just the XT but I’ve been enjoying the shit out of it. Runs everything at high/ultra 120+fps on my ultrawide 1440p monitor.

Did I enjoy paying $800 for it no, it should be more like $550ish, and the XTX $650-700. But the whole market is screwed in terms of pricing.
