I would wait for RTX 50**. Doubt the refresh will bring noticeable improvements.
From the leaked specs besides the 4070 ti super and and the 4070 super, nothing is intreasting.
the 4070 ti super is the best card in the 4000 series if it indeed comes out in 700$ and the same specs that were leaked (16 gigs of ram 256bit bus).
The 4080 super supposedly will come at 999$ and it will be basically a slightly improved 4080, which is still too expansive if u ask me, I do own a 4080 and I payed around 1100$ for this card.
Nvidia are afraid that the AI bubble is going to collapse so they are throwing some bones in gamers direction, gamers shouldn't buy their overpriced cards and let them rot on shelves, until they give a decent price to performance.
want a 999$-1100$ for a 4080, no problem increase the Vram and the BUS. if the 4080 super was 20 gigs of vram and a bigger bus, then a 999$ was far more justified.
As I see it now, if u don't use your GPU for rendering or play in NVidia favored titles that use RTX (Games like cyberpunk) then Intel and AMD look like better and cheaper alternatives.
If nvidia really was pro gamers, then they would have did a 4060 super series. since most gamers buy the 60 series.
the 4060 super at 12 gigs of Vram at 250-299$ would have been a hit.
The 4060 ti super at 16 Vram and 192 bit but would have also been a sell out in 350-399$
