It seems like they're still acting as though cryptomining will carry demand, or that GPU demand is somehow inelastic, even in the face of consoles that cost half as much as the 4070 Ti.

raring to post

it’s prolly (wait for reviews) a better price/performance than the card it replaces at that price point. if you don’t like the price point or performance, as always, don’t buy it. nobody needs these, and nobody should feel pressured to play at 4k/144 or whatever just because it’s all the rage, and there are (usually) better used deals from a prior gen to be had.

the only thing weird about nvidia/AMDs pricing and naming is the belief that there are people to whom $800 is just right, but the other cards too extravagant. is there really that much price granularity for these toys? do we really need this many SKUs from both brands over $500?

Another product that literally no people should buy, along with the 4080 one of the worst deals in the history of computing products.

Really unless you're trying to do 4k144hz I don't see much reason to even think about the new gen GPUs, for $500-600 you can get a last gen card that'll pretty easily be able to handle at least 1440p144.

E: Actually never mind I just found out GALAX are doing a pink 4070Ti can anyone lend me $800?


Also this line in the Videocardz article made me laugh.

quote:

NVIDIA confirms that RTX 4070 Ti is ‘faster than RTX 3090 Ti’, but the slide does not really explain how.

Also they announced the laptop versions of the whole 40 series stack down to the 4050. Looks like the usual laptop standard of dropping the performance down a level but keeping the same name, so a laptop 4070 is roughly a desktop 4060.

Also holy poo poo I just noticed they're launching this thing in 2 days, god help all the reviewers who are scrambling to do their reviews on whatever cards they've gotten.

E: Oh yeah and no FE model, so all of these cards are going to be at least $900.

If you look at the last 2 years of NVDA it makes perfect sense. Nvidia's stock price has fallen >50% since late 2021, their earnings are way down and until and unless Nvidia starts really scaling up in the AI market as it probably grows, their projections are likely overly optimistic. Consistently missing projections is not a thing the market generally considers a sign of a healthy company, so they are desperate to keep profit, expected profit, and thus stock price all high by juicing consumers. Consumers have to push back and tell Jensen to eat a dick and accept that his company isn't worth what it was a year ago and won't be unless it can come up with some major new revenue stream.

4070 having more cuda cores but clocked lower is interesting. If they can really run it at 35watts that might be a portability beast.

Used 3090s are still hovering around +850$ and i dont think its gonna get lower anytime soon, so if i were to set my expectations around that the 4070ti still feels better. Not good in anyway, but a brand new 4070ti looks like the best option?

3090s are expensive, but a 3080 is ~$500 on ebay and should be in the same performance ballpark as a 4070 Ti.

4070 Ti is roughly 3090/3090 Ti performance from what we know, so a reasonable bit better than 3080 performance. certainly better value than the 3090/3090 Ti but not the 3080

Most 3080s are in the $600ish range now, or get there within a day of bidding. For a card that’s supposed to be MRSP $700 and two years old , feels kinda bad

If you search 3080 -Ti and check "sold", you'll find plenty of them are selling for $500.

That sounds great for those who got them at 500$ but doesn't mean much if I can't actually find one atm and can't babysit a bid.
