That's the confusing part for me because statements from the design team said they had the very optimistic goal of running most games at 4k 60fps, which is more like $1000 entry level imo.

    $1,000 is not entry level.

    If you go on any website and look at entry level PCs they're all around $600 to $800.

    The lowest amount to run most modern titles AT 4K 60 FPS is around $1000, and thats only because graphics card prices have come down.

    If 30FPS on 1080p is good enough I could build it for $400.

    It's not a 4K capable graphics card though it's a 1080p capable graphics card that they're saying is 4K because of the existence of AI upscaling which I think is a cheat. So you're already overestimating the cards capability.
