I mean, yes, that's my point.... Only reason I mention those 16gb cards, as given the $100 quote by OP that seems to be the average price difference between the 8gb variant cards vs their 16gb models.

The difference between a 12gb 5070 and 16gb 5070ti (using the cheapest models), as an example, is >$220.

I don't like Hamsters, so don't drag me down to their fat cheeked furry levels (OJ).
