Why do you need a 4xxx for PC gaming? A 1070/1080 is still a very decent card. There's no game released that won't run at reasonable res/fps on 1xxx series cards.

10x0 are old, they are starting to break down due to wear already.

So get a 4050 or whatever will the midrange bit.

PC gaming was never more alive than those last two years.

Agree: the PC gaming market size[1] continues to grow and is definitely very very alive.

I am guessing the dead rumour is because the console market is growing faster. Conveniently ignoring that the mobile market is growing faster than the console market (mobile has 50% of market value by some analyses).

Conversely, AAA games are mostly not exclusive to PC keyboard/mouse control (games market could be split by input devices: mobile touchscreen, console controller, PC keyboard + mouse).
