Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 could be as powerful as the GeForce RTX 3090; GeForce RTX 4080 slated to be over 50% faster

A total waste of money and power.
Less than 3% play at 4k on pc.
Hardly anyone plays with proper hdr at 1000 nits. Hdr 400 and 600 is a waste of time and isn't hdr.
The vast majority of people who but the 4080 and 4070 will play at low resolution. Anything less than 4k is low resolution.
So why buy these cards?
I'll tell you why?
It's to keep up with the joneses. It's for bragging rights.
If playing at 4k ultra then a 3090 is more than enough.
If playing at anything below 4k then the 3080 is more than enough.
The 40 series is totally unnecessary. This is especially so as just about every pc gamer plays at low resolution.
Yes I have a 3090 and play with proper hdr
I do not need a new 40 series card.
Then again, nobody else does.
Why buy a 4070 and 4080 and then play at low resolution.
Nvidia know exactly how to rip people off and how desperate young people are to fit in and not be different.
Why don't consumers wise up?

Yep I agree, I guess I am part of the 3% and play 4k@120 (Med settings) on my 3070 for the past few years
(you need at least 3070 HDMI 2.1 to get 4k@120)

When the 4090 is released 4k@120hz is still the maximum FPS you can get
(so it is the new bottleneck)

My next major upgrade will be 4k@240 (will have to wait a few more years) although I will do a minor upgrade if I can get a cheap 3090/4070

The 4090 would be more than powerful enough to do 4k@240, but the HDMI 2.1 cable (bottleneck) is limited to 4k@120

Have you heard of VR? Because my 3080 can barely handle dirt rally 2.0 at Quest 2 resolution.  The 4080 still wont max it out.
