I have my priorities set up pretty well already, though the extended warranty of my 3070Ti ends not until April 2026.
- 8GB is not enough. 16GB would be good, 12GB or 14GB I can live with.
- Performance needs to be better than 3070Ti. RT performance should not drop a considerably, though it does not need to increase.
- Budget (that is overridable by standard 10%. in certain extremely good deal situations maybe by 15%.) will be 700 Euros.
Besides, as I told, 25 years ago I was waiting and following closely these to come out and revolutionize the industry... for several reasons, that did not happen. I do have two different revisions of chips though. They do make rather nice wall piece:
I have now confirmation that guys working on these back then, have now contributed the battlemage technology.
So after 25 years I have possibility to own working card of my youth idols technology inside? That's something that is very
very very hard to beat by Team Jensen or Team Lisa.
B580 would been on my buy list if the financial side of real life would be more tolerable to buy such things as collectables. As it is slower than the 3070Ti I have now. Right now I can only afford buying stuff that goes to in use.
