In 2020 I bought a 2080 Super for more than 800€, I considered it crazy expensive but I had the money and my 1070 had died. 23 months later it died and Amazon refunded the money, so I proceeded to buy another GPU. That money was only enough for a 3070ti and I still had to pay 30-40€ more. I'm happy with my 3070ti for now, and I hope it lasts long enough, I don't think I can afford that kind of money anymore.
I have an account on Kbin and no, you don't usually see downvotes. But I don't see that as a bad thing actually. Your comments in this thread didn't get any downvote, by the way.
