And if there ever was a dark age for PC hardware, we’ve recently crawled out of it, thankfully.

With high-end GPUs costing what they still cost, I don't think we're out of it just yet.

My recent realization is that the very high-end of the GPU market is totally unnecessary. A 4070 can play practically any game at 4K with decent framerates. And if you are fine with just "high" settings instead of maxed out, at very good framerates too.

A 4070 is the high end, though. Any laptop with a 4070 in it will cost over £1.5k

Pretty sure nobody cares, but man as a third world country guy it feels weird as fuck to see these reasonable-looking numbers only to multiply by 50 and get a heart attack.
