I'm sitting on an aging GTX 970. In no position to do a full new build but I wonder if it is worth taking a chance on one of these at that price point.

I replaced mine with a 275€ 6650xt about a year ago. Still really happy with the decision.
I hope Intel can get a solid foothold between AMD and Nvidia. There really needs to be more fairly priced competition in the GPU market.
intel is making insane Ws with that pricing
It's normal pricing if we go back a few years. The prices of nowadays' cards are going to kill PC gaming if they remain so high.
I'm hoping Intel can really compete with AMD and Nvidia and their high end cards with this sort of pricing. should hopefully bring it back down to reasonable levels
Even if they just carve out the lower end/budget end for themselves, would be a huge W for gaming.
