all of this for a 8.82% price increase, which is not worth it in my opinion unless you're looking for better raytracing performance.

One side thing is that I actually really like the style that Zotac went with this card, it honestly looks pretty kickass but I still wouldn't buy it unfortunately due to the cost being ridiculous

I bought the Zotac Gaming GeForce RTX 4080 Trinity OC and it's a stellar card. Paid $1229 for it on sale, so at $1370 for the super model, in the current pricing environment, that seems pretty good to me.
