GPUs are obscenely expensive

If you wrote this about 2 years ago I'd agree, but since then have crashed in price. You can get a 4060 for about $300 now.

a lot of game studios

I'd agree if you wrote "some AAA game studios".

Are we talking the same 4060, that can't beat 3060Ti? That's an absolute disgrace if you ask me, and should have been called 4050Ti at most, if not 4050. Or the fact that 3060 had 12GB of VRAM, while 4060 had 8Gb. NVIDIA bumped all their lineup with one tier up, in order to make their current offering look a bit better compared to last gen.

Or are we talking about the fact that NVIDIA made a whole lineup of unworthy GPUs except 4090.

You need to shed 850-900 bucks to get a 4070Ti Super that has 16Gb of VRAM, in a year when RAM is dirt cheap. And the mid range is priced as high end.

Is that okay in your books? Because in my books, it is definitely not!
