$700, and the side by sides look barely different, from my perspective. The chat seemed to have the same opinion.

It started as good tech to make GPUs last longer, but now is a crutch that even top notch hardware like a 4090 needs to actually achieve playable performance with ray tracing at high resolutions. And that hardware is already way overpriced, imagine the price of something that could do it natively.

Huh, I wasn't aware that 4090s use similar tech. That sheds light on a few things. Thanks!
