Say what you want about today's graphics cards, you can at least buy whichever one you want

Nvidia RTX 4070 and RTX 3080 Founders Edition graphics cards

This month I have been testing laptops: At least we never had to queue up for gaming laptops. And I've been looking at some more affordable options lately, the Gigabyte G5 and MSI Cyborg 15.
Next month I hope to be testing a cheaper graphics card: It'd be nice to have some more affordable options for mid- and entry-level gaming PCs. Come on Nvidia, AMD, give us a cheaper chip.

We'd probably all rather forget 2020–2022. For obvious reasons I don't need to talk about those years being a bit of a mess, even just in terms of PC gaming. Graphics cards were hit hard by shortages and soaring demand that honestly we've talked about to death on PC Gamer. But there is a clear delineation between those horrid moments and the launch of Nvidia's latest, the RTX 4070, and one that makes me a little thankful we're no longer in The Bad Times.
