RTX 4070 Ti drops to lowest-ever $719 price, making the RTX 4080 even more irrelevant

Nvidia should get back to its early original mission of making video cards that people can actually afford.

Yeah, I understand the frustration people are having. Nvidia could have done a lot better.

When an entry level card today costs as much as a flagship from 6 years ago, that says it all IMO.

I'm not surprised people don't want to dish out the money for the RTX 40 series cards: with the exception of 4090, they aren't much of an upgrade over previous gen... if at all.

The miners, are also partly responsible for the current pricing trend: they're the ones who trashed the market to where it is now.
 
Your comment is more prescient than you imagine. I bet there are a lot of people who are ready to switch back to AMD, like me, next purchase.

The value in NVidia products just isn't there.
I miss ATI....but AMD might well do if Nvidia keeps this up even if it is just as a protest (ie no DLSS which I prefer to FSR and inferior raytracing on AMD assuming nothing changes by the time I am in the market again...). I had always planned to go 90 series card this build because I am a 4k144hz gamer and AMD drivers/software have been lacking for some time IMO (not just GPUs either).And Intel is only a blip on my radar until they can compete in the high end.

The price was fair be it expensive going with a 4090. But what I saw in the lower SKUs disgusted me. Bad to near zero performance uplifts, price increases and all the VRAM/bus issues in the mid to lower end has me upset for them (and other low/mid tier users). I am usually a 80 series guy and even tyhat card was woefully under powered for the price. But people like my nephews I game with, tend to use mid grade gpus at best unless I gift them an gen or two old high end card. If they upgrade this gen I know they'd be under-served for the most part with Nvidia (AMD too but for mostly different reasons). I feel like Nvidia and AMD both have forgotten and treated gamers badly. Nvgreedia is easy to argue as such just look at prices and what they did with sanctions; however, AMD is guilty by association for pricing their products in the same fashion as Nvidia. And while they both skimped on ram buses Nvidia had to hit you in the capacity department too. Though to be fair to AMD they tried the whole MCM cache thing to compensate for bus speeds which shouldn't be ignored even if it is more ineffectual than I'd like. With Moore's Law dead/dying (depending on what camp your in), companies are going to have to try new things to continue to increase performance, full stop.

How is $719 a deal for the 4070ti? These prices are insane and articles like this one are tactually proponents for these prices. Let’s get back to reality, there isn’t a video card on the market worth $700.

Apparantly the market disagrees. When you have a near monoploy you can get away with crap like this. More people buying AMD/Intel would send a message. In general, though, it seems people only want AMD/Intel around to force Nvidia to lower prices a bit so they buy Nvidia.
