I bought my 4070ti last year, and have no regrets for doing so. 

You can buy a used 3060 with 12 gig of vram for a tiny bit more than a RX 5700 XT 8 gig as well..... And the 3060 is faster, massively so when using Optix...

Buy what you want to buy thou. But do your research first... If you primarily game, surf the net, don't need Cuda, Optix, etc. there is nothing wrong with a $130 gpu, from any camp.

Just don't expect and any cheap gpu or any AMD gpu to hold a candle to Nvidia higher end gpu's in compute, that isn't going to happen any time soon simply due to program support..

Who knows, maybe ZLUDA will be a viable option for people at some point, but like anything AMD, it will somehow get changed/scrapped like everything else....

It must really burn AMD up, to know that Cuda thru the IntelOne Api is faster on AMD than anything AMD is on AMD by itself..... Imagine the AMD meetings on that blunder......
