What a wild sentence to read, that's only 2 gens behind! Sorry you had to upgrade, but hopefully you are enjoying what you replaced it with.
That 3070 ended up costing me a sweet €1289, where a 3080 should have retailed for less than that. At the peak of that madness a 3080 went for €3500, hence why i settled for something along my original budget.
My old pc stopped being able to drag itself through games at 11 years old...poor thing served me well, i still have all the internals and the gpu has a special place on my tv cabinet. That bad boy cost significantly less than the €1289 i paid for the 3070 and outlasted it by a million miles.
I switched back to AMD with my current gpu seeing how the 50 series is just as insanely priced.
But i got no complaints because my pc looks absolutely mental and performs well, i got one of those lian li o11 xl rgb cases stuffed to the brim with rgb fans and a closed loop watercooled cpu + vertically mounted gpu...it's an absolute centerpiece.
