You think the 6800 XT is trash. A card that trades blows with a 3080 is trash... for $500-550 dollars in todays market... trash...
If you want raytracing and absolutely need Nvidia to pair with your monitor, then ya, sure, go get Nvidia. That's like 10% of the gaming market.

Trading blows. That's cute. Yeah, it trades blows with ray tracing off.
If you don't want RT capabilities in your one major upgrade in like 7 years, you're conceding that you're upgrading into a dying breed of GPUs.
The 10% of the market argument is so dumb. People couldn't afford cell phones at one point too and that was 10% of the market. RT is the future. DLSS, XeSS, FSR is the future. Frame gen is the future.
You're telling BigRichard to drop $550 into a good raster card after 7 years of no upgrades vs me telling him to spend $250 more and be set for the next 7 years as DLSS and frame gen evolve AND have better raster capabilities (it's not like you're compromising on triangles with the 4070Ti).
Do I wish the card was $200 cheaper? Of course. But I wouldn't spend $550 or whatever into just good rasterization.
