Roughly 3/4 the Ti's performance for exactly 3/4th the Ti's MSRP tag. The price-performance disappointment continues.

 

[gg83]

Lmao almost 1k$ for a 70-class. Wth is going on here?

 

[CelicaGT]

Even at MSRP it's a non starter for anyone spending their own money. The market is AMD's to lose at this point.

Monopolies causing bad outcomes for consumers? No way!

Looking forward to see when they're over releasing this lineup, I want to see the inevitable reactions to the lower end 120mm2 die, 64bit memory bus, 4 GB VRAM, X4 PCIe 4.0 GPU at the AWESOME BARGAIN PRICE of just 449$!

 

[KyaraM]

Literally every CPU and GPU are listed at completely lunatical prices right before release. Why even make that into news? And why are people still acting as if they will actually launch at those prices/not drop to sane levels right afterwards? Especially considering that the 4070Ti is available for less than MSRP by now and thus cheaper than that listing. Oh, right. Easy outrage and an opportunity to bash Nvidia. Almost forgot...

RTX 3080 10GB MSRP: $700
RTX 3080 Ti 12GB MSRP: $1200
RTX 4070 Ti 12GB MSRP: $800
RTX 4070 12GB MSRP: $600

RTX 3080 10GB MSRP: $700
RTX 3080 Ti 12GG MSRP: $1200
RTX 4070 Ti 12GB MSRP: $800
RTX 4070 12GB MSRP: $600

Or, you know, set your sights a little lower.
Arc a770 for $289
AMD 6650 for $249

Why do you need such a high-power graphics cards?
Lower your settings and just enjoy the game.
Forget the eye candy. You won't notice it 5 minutes into the game anyway...
If it's a well-written immersive game then your brain will take over
and fill in the blanks.

Not sure what the context is here. My point is that AMD can undercut NVIDIA right out of the market if they so desired. They have the product stack and a hungry market desperate for affordable options. Short term loss for long term gain. At this point I'm starting to believe that NVIDIA is just not interested in the consumer GPU market anymore.

 

[Amdlova]

Not buying anything new. Maybe get a 6700xt when stalker 2 launch. Cpu from 2014 and it's done.

Both great options, but everyone has their preferences and priorities. As for myself I'm playing MSFS 2020, and at no compromise settings it really is something to behold and is to a certain extent, part of the point at least for me. I'm playing on a 3060 12GB right now at 60fps on a 1440p panel at High/Ultra DLSS: Balanced. I'd really love to stretch that across both 1440p panels at the same or better settings. I need a beast of a card to do that, I can buy one now. I just object to this insane pricing model and I'm holding my cards until late summer to see if they blink first.

 

[OneMoreUser]

A 12 GB card in 2023, that is as lacking as a 8 GB was in 2020 so I'll pass.

 

[PEnns]

The lunacy continues.

Both from sellers and buyers.

 

[FunSurfer]

Exactly, games jumped from 8GB VRAM straight to 16GB due to new gen consoles VRAM pool in the recent year, a 3070Ti has the raw power to run any game on 1080p ultra with RT at 60 FPS but will fall to one digit FPS due to its tiny 8GB VRAM pool

 

[dpeter45]

Just go buy a PS5 or XBSX for $500.

These GPU prices are outrageous, and the quality of porting to PC these days is so lousy that it makes no sense to build a PC for gaming right now.

 

[PlaneInTheSky]

keep raising prices, see where that gets you

today's news:

 

[PlaneInTheSky]

Why do you need such a high-power graphics cards?

because in 2023 PC games are console ports

and since consoles now have 16 GB VRAM...GPU with 8GB no longer suffices and 12GB is barely enough

and I don't blame developers for this, they're not going to redo all the textures and models for a PC port

the issue is Nvidia and AMD asking outrageous prices for 8-12GB GPU that are already outdated because they lack VRAM

I just for fun ran the price I paid for my old 1070 in 2017 through an inflation calculator. It literally landed at around the expected price of a 4070 today. I'm sorry if you can't wrap your head around this, but that's how it is.

 

[cknobman]

Anyone dumb enough to buy at these inflated prices, especially over MSRP, get what they deserve.
Stupid impatient people exist for companies to take advantage of.

We can definitely agree to disagree on this one... I just got Hogwart's Legacy as the first game since installing the 4090... and...

OMG is it stunningly beautiful in 4K Ultra!

Then why not save even more money and buy a console?

Checked the PC build in your sig.
$10k for a PC.
That is hysterical.

 

[hotaru251]

this basically means the 4060 is gonna be over 500$..likely 600+.

thats literally stupid for a entry lvl gpu.

these aren't just increased overlast gen these are Nvidia self scalping customers.

 

[KyaraM]

The 1070 was $379 in 2017 (I know because I bought one in January of 2017 for that price).
That's $465.15 in 2023 money according to an inflation calculator.

Get out of here with this nonsense. Nvidia is price gouging.

It was 550€ in 2017. I have the receipt. It's not nonsense, but hey. Continue, I'll just sit here laughing.

Hahah... me too.

I paid $699.99 for my 1080 Ti in 2017... and paid $1749.99 for my 4090 in 2023.

I have both receipts.
