Not sure how to feel about this... just got my 3090 a few months ago. The pricing is crazy high and DLSS3 being locked to 4000 series really sucks.
It's the onward march of technology. The 40 series likely has features that enable DLSS3 to work which are missing on the 30 series. (Windows 11 won't install on some computers because they lack certain features!)
This just seems to be a more significant jump than we expected. I think it's awesome, but also know that the price and energy costs of these new cards will put them out of my reach for the time being. Sigh.
One of the things I was thinking was how CP2077 really seems to have been designed for technology that didn't exist yet! And now, we're getting there!
I've been amused by comments by PS5 owners that say full RT should be implemented on that console... which costs significantly less than one of these cards! (I love my PS5, but it's incredible the technical requirements to do Raytracing).
I'll be interested in the GPU landscape in another year - I'm hopeful that we may have some affordable options.
Cheers,
Merric
