A high-end graphics card is $700+, the 1070 you mentioned is toward the upper end of the "mid tier" market. Cards like the 1060 and RX480 are considered low tier.

This is nowhere close to true. A 1060 is only "low tier" for someone who subscribes to /r/pcmasterrace; for regular PC gamers it's a solid mid-range card.

Also remember that the GeForce 3, when launched, cost $600, which would be $800 today (and this was a consumer card equivalent to the 1080, not a professional card like the Titans).
