Well...Cyberpunk for example. It will run on a 3070 but look like shit...on my 4k monitor, if I want the gorgeous photorealism of the game, the $2000 (formerly $700 pre-crypto/AI) GPU still gets about ~40 FPS with some stuttering if you don't turn on the fake AI generated frames...
> xx60 is mid range at best. Maybe even xx50 if those still exist
"It's mid range if it exists" doesn't make sense.
Also you're missing that they're talking about 3070, a card from 2020 (5 years ago), 2 generations behind this year's 50xx series. The 30xx matters more than the xx70 here. It was an upper midrange card when it came out, and it's solidly midrange for Nvidia's product lineup today. You can have cheaper and decent just fine (integrated Ryzens like you mentioned are fine for 1080p gaming on most titles).

3070 isn't mid range.
Low end is ryzen integrated graphics now, xx60 is mid range at best. Maybe even xx50 if those still exist.

If we're talking performance. Not price.
