I bought this card as an “afterthought”. I had bought a new Dark Hero motherboard (review just submitted on that) and was going to “get by” with my previous Asus Strix 989GTX, which despite being 8 years old, was more than capable for the gaming I wanted to do - but discounts on Black Friday were too tempting!!
Having read various reviews, I decided that the 4070Ti was the “sweet spot” for me - good performance that will see me through for the next few years of my level of occasional gaming. A 4080 or 4090 was insanely expensive and not justifiable for an “occasional” gamer. I was more than happy with my previous Asus Strix card which at the time of purchase was the top of pile in terms of cards available - so another Asus Strix was a no brainer for me.
