wow.... 300 as a student... nice
wow seems u like witcher alot
do u mean diablo 4? but rtx 4080 current cost maybe 1 leg or arm...

it's fairly priced now.

you can buy an Rtx4080 at a 2/3 of the cost of a macbook pro ULTRA/MAX and stsill beat the macbook pro in all aspect handsomely.

the nvidia price seems to be benchmark against the macs.

mac m1/2 base variant (not pro) only matches with the windows laptop Iris Xe/AMD integrated grphics performance and is selling at $1400-1500. So you can see the windows iris etc is selling 2/3 of the cost of those Mac.
and so on and so forth

Ended at GTX 1060 because no longer chase games

Switching to RTX 4050 soon, like maybe tomorrow

me too.
my last desktop refresh was like 5yrs back probably.. and using RTX1050 only.

Now also looking at RT4050 laptop. Pricepoint is around $1800-2200 for 2.5-3k resolution .
very sweet pricing compared to the Macbook air variant.
