GPU advice

Have you considered an Intel Arc? The A series seem to slowly be discontinued but there's rumours about the B series getting more variants in the not so distant future. At least the price is right, the compatibility with your games is a question mark. If the game is compatible the performance level is good.

Yes, I have considered the Intel cards and they have some goods stats and prices from what I see. I would buy one if it was just for a monitor.

The deal breaker for me is that they don't have native Oculus support (Meta dropped them because of problems with their drivers supposedly) and I don't want to hack them to get them to work. (I've read that it's doable) but I have enough issues getting natively supported cards optimized.

Must be 10 years or so ago now. I got a rebate due to legal action taken against Nvidia for selling either a 960 or 970 (had both) as 3GB of RAM but it didn't have that much useable.

I looked it up, was the 970. Sold as 4GB but only 3.5GB was high speed.

After doing some research, I might just buy the 5070 super ti if I can find it near msrp and be done with it. Supposedly it has 24GB of vram and is as fast as the 4080. I figure if I can run it for 5 years it might be worth it.

LOL. I'm trying to figure out how I'm gonna come up with the money for one. Maybe I'll try some panhandling.

I remember going to my electronics store, signing in, and waiting for my name to be called. That was to get 4kb of ram. The price was scary too.
They call your name, and meet you at the desk with whatever you put on the book that you needed. Was like sitting in the waiting room at the doctors office. LOL
