That 3070 ended up costing me a sweet €1289, where a 3080 should have retailed for less than that. At the peak of that madness a 3080 went for €3500, hence why i settled for something along my original budget.

My old pc stopped being able to drag itself through games at 11 years old…poor thing served me well, i still have all the internals and the gpu has a special place on my tv cabinet. That bad boy cost significantly less than the €1289 i paid for the 3070 and outlasted it by a million miles.

I switched back to AMD with my current gpu seeing how the 50 series is just as insanely priced.

But i got no complaints because my pc looks absolutely mental and performs well, i got one of those lian li o11 xl rgb cases stuffed to the brim with rgb fans and a closed loop watercooled cpu + vertically mounted gpu…it’s an absolute centerpiece.

My friend pointed out it’s release yesterday as i was unaware.

The long wait time for ES6 and seeing how Starfield is just reskinned Skyrim has me completely given up on Bethesda.

Then i stumbled on a livestream yesterday after finding out Oblivion costs €55 and it looked like a reskinned clunky old bethesda mess…so no thanks.

Enjoy it if you like it, but i’m not interested at that price point.

Exactly, that’s why i ditched my 3070. Couldn’t keep up.
