I will when someone makes a GPU that can surpass a 4090. Not even Nvidia themselves can pull that off, so I'm not getting my hopes up.

I'm going to be stuck with this GPU for the next decade the way things are going...not that I'm complaining. It's a beast of a card, especially for someone like me who could only ever afford bargain bin parts until one day I came into a windfall. (That was a fun 4 years.) I don't have to worry about games being unoptimized because I can simply brute force them with pure GPU processing power. I was getting 90 FPS in Last of Us on launch. Even Cities Skylines 2 runs smoothly.

Youre not actively buying from them by using what you have. nobody buys a downgrade.

My 4070ti isn't as beefy but there's still not a non-nvidia upgrade. And I am able to play most of my games at 4k / 120. I'd like to upgrade mine so I can give my card to my daughter and give her 3060ti to her brother who is currently running a 1060.
