Anyone seriously considering the 4070 TI

I can bet lot of people will buy this too. Asus seems to really rape wallet from some people. Want strix? gotta pay 250 over standard pricing lmao. Pay more than 7900xtx for looks and brand name bragging rights. Can't blame them, if they got fanboys to pull it off lmao.

Lol at 31% more $ than the base MSRP that is a whole tier of card pricing difference.
 
The Strix fan mania is intense. Gotta have the Strix GPU and Mobo and AiO and PSU and Monitor and Keyboard and Mouse and Headset and...
LMAO i totally believe this. when I hear people looking for strix 4090 I keep questioning myself why? for 400 more lmao. It just makes no sense to me.
 
Wait until the Strixxx variant, it's faster because it has two more xs. I'm fully expecting to be sad and for this thing to be sold out for multiple weeks / months. If it's only sold out a couple of weeks I won't care, that means the demand is fairly low.
 
you be amazed. Stix fans are gas lighted. You would be surprised how many people spend 400 over FE 4090 lmao. IDK how many they make but those things sell out quick lmao.
I made TUF a Strix card by flashing the bios. Better aesthetics (at least to me), better sound profile, same performance and $400 in my wallet. Win win!
 
Nvidia is miserable and embarrassing. Steve from gamers Nexus has every right to clown on them as he does. First the 4080 which was incredibly bad value, now the 470 TI which is again miserably bad value. I say we as a community completely skip the 4000 series and just let them sit on the shelves. Maybe next generation they will price it more fair then we can buy happily. Let Nvidia and the scalpers shove the 4000 series up their ass
 
Welp... That didn't take long.

Fuck you Nvidia. Fuck you long and fuck you hard.

Card that should have MSRP of $350, has MSRP of $799, but artificial scarcity intentionally engineered by Nvidia (or because they just don't give a fuck) results in scalper pricing yet again of almost $1,500

$800 4070TI seem to exist:

Zotac (still in stock it seem) but still, even if Nvidia does not enforce it to the AIBs they still have at the end of the day to sell them.

It would be really hard to scalp something that is bad value.
 
what I don't understand is why these cards are over a foot long lmao. Its a small chip that runs nice and cool

well who ever is trying to scalp these is an idiot. Clearly no one else is buyingn cuz they are still available 2 hours after launch.
 
Of course, some desperate dumb shit would pick it up. Anyone with common sense is probably still bargain hunting 3090 Ti lol.
 
Anyone remember the PS3 launch in 2006, when all we could talk about in the tech news was how there weren't enough of them to go around, resulting in scalpers, and camping out outside stores, etc. etc?

Back then we referred to it as a "failed launch", and wondered how on earth Sony screwed up so badly.

Now it has become expected every single time something new in PC/Tech launches.

This is not normal.

We need to get back to the norms of companies pre-building adequate launch quantities to meet demand on launch day..

In most industries consumers would give a company that did this the finger, and leave them for someone else, but insufficient competition in the industry results in this kind of stupidity. This is why you NEED 3-5 competent players in a market in order for competition to drive proper behavior.

Make you wonder if it is not some impression that those are $800-$900 cards, look how big they are.

If you release them in the precedent 275 watt package size, it could reinforce some that look like a $550 card to me, for those that fit you end up with a silent 28 dba under load card which is obviously nice, but many would take the price rebate instead.

Yeah, while an odd choice (probably has to do with shared components with the big boy models like the 4090) having a GPU that is damn near silent under load due to excessive cooling capacity might actually be nice.

That’s the worst part about the GPU market right now. If the prices were fair, scalpers would buy them all up and sell them for current prices. Nvidia raise prices, and they are in stock, but poor values. Either way we are paying elevated prices to have a GPU.

Nvidia is saying: Do you want to search high and low for a $600 4070Ti GPU or pay $800-1000 for one that’s in stock?

We don’t want to make such a choice.

And we wouldn't have to if market quantities weren't artificially limited by Nvidia.

They intentionally restrict supply so they can jack up prices.

That's the modus operandi of a monopolist.

If there were sufficient supply on the market, you could walk into a retailer and buy one without standing in any kind of lines or making any kind of reservation on launch day.

In a way, scalpers are just a symptom caused by shortages. Nvidia's supply is the real problem. If supply was ample, there would be no scalpers as they would not be able to resell the parts at that higher price, and they would go bust.
 
Doesn't have enough vram to maintain 4k over the next few years most likely either. Feels like it should be 16gb
That will be interesting to see, raw power and memory bandwith could be more limiting than 12gb of vram for native 4k.

If Fornite unreal 5 is any indication of the future, high regular ram usage with relatively low vram usage could happen (people are seeing 19-22 gig system ram usage with 8-10 of VRAM).
 
I have some BB reward points. I would have picked up the 4070ti, idk why they are all over a damn foot long. I got a nice little HP omen 25L that I need to upgrade GPU in for my son. I think only thing that has a chance in fitting that is 7900xt. I might wait for pending rewards to come through and just grab that lmao. I like the size of the case so really don't wanna change it.

I mean why do they all have to stick long coolers on this is crazy to me, this thing can run nice and cool with two big fans lmao and shorter PCB.
 
There is still 2 models of 4070TI at $850 available on newegg (shipped by them, add to cart available) it is a significantly different era than the prime mining one.

There is even an ASUS 7900xt at msrp available. Scalping will be a weird niche affair here I suspect.

A coworker of mine picked up a 3060ti with a heat sink bigger than the ones on some of his 3090s. Stupid thing wouldn't even fit on his mining rack.

It was pretty hilarious.
 
It's the transient spikes that get you with the 3090s...

I had a perfectly functioning 850W Gold eVGA PSU that would not handle transient spikes and would shut off. Ended up replacing with a 1200W Platinum and never had an issue after that.
Should have RMA'd the PSU. EVGA's PSU's can generally tolerate well over their rating. But they had a batch which would pre-maturely go into protection shutdown. The replacement units fix that.

Hey look, an Nvidia card which isn't super wide, bulging past the PCI bracket!

yea I got a great deal on 6800xt tuf here. Didn't look that big in pictures but it was huge lmao. I was like wtf. Why are these cards unnecessarily so big for upper mid range cards lmao. I sold that back here next day. i got a 6650xt in there but IDK if thats enough for his 144hz 1440p monitor. I wanted 6800xt minimum but reference seemed to be overpriced still on ebay and non to go around. No one seems to be selling much of 6900xt. I saw one here but they go quick lmao.

I got another 200 pending in reward points so I might just grab 7900xt when they hit and use 10% off coupon and call it a day. Since they seemed to be readily available everytime I check.
 
Pretty soon people will be able to use their Snap card to buy these things if they don't sell I could see Jensen pleading for that.
At least some normalcy has happened to the GPU market after 4-5 years of Crypto mining and Scalpers.

It doesn't have enough vram for 4K now, let alone a few years down the road. But it's not fast enough for 4K unless you are willing to compromise on image quality and if you are spending that much on a good 4K monitor then why... It's a solid 1440p card, but I wouldn't recommend it for higher than that

You say that as if the card wouldn't be scalped for almost $1500 even if it had an MSRP of $350.
What I am most surprised about is right now in Canada the out-of-stock 4070TI is being scalped for more than or close to the very readily available 4080, which my suppliers currently have in stock for $1699.99 CAD.

I just don't get it.

But even the massively overpriced scalped 4070TI's are cheaper than any of the 3080TI's I can find up here even from my legit suppliers so...

Things are broken, I don't even know where to begin.
