You have that so very backwards. My old 1080 ran a measurable level cooler than my current 2080.
No it doesn't it doesn't. The 1060 runs cooler than the 960. Where are you getting all this nonsense?
No one is hating on the 2060.
No one is hating on you either. You're saying things that are either flat out wrong or just silly. And if you can't find a 1070 for less than $500, you're either looking in the wrong place or your country's economy is in an unfortunate state. Have you tried looking in more than one place or perhaps looking for a used card?
Fixed that for you. I agree with your first point though. AMD's new offerings, as long as they kick a$$ like they rumored to, will cause a big shake up to pricing and the economy's of the GPU scene.
