NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Launch Postponed to October 29th
When NVIDIA introduced its Ampere consumer graphics cards, they launched three models - the GeForce RTX 3070, RTX 3080, and RTX 3090 GPUs. Both the RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 have seen the light of the day as they are now available for purchase, however, one card has remained. The GeForce RTX 3070 launch was originally planned for October 15th launch, but it has officially been postponed by NVIDIA. According to the company, the reason behind this sort of delay in the launch is the high demand expected. Production of the cards is ramping up quickly and the company is quickly stocking up the cards. Likely, NVIDIA AIBs are taking their time to stock up on cards, as the mid-range is usually in very high demand.
As a reminder, the GeForce RTX 3070 graphics card features 5888 CUDA cores running at a base frequency of 1.5 GHz and boost frequency of 1.73 GHz. Unlike the higher-end Ampere cards, the RTX 3070 uses older GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus with a bandwidth of 448 GB/s. The GPU features a TDP of 220 W and will be offered in a range of variants by AIBs. You will be able to purchase the GPU on October 29th for the price of $499.

AMD could put an end to nVidia's practice like they did with Intel, we need competition, GPUs prices are out of control.
The only thing which is really difficult to estimate is how much 7nm capacity AMD is willing to allocate to GPUs, knowing that when they put this capacity into EPYC chiplets they make LOADS of money with it.
Clickbait, mostly.
Why will it release on 29th October instead of 26-28th? (AMD's showcase on 28th October)
Will RTX 3070's price reduce? (499 to 399-449)
Please AMD improve your drivers for buyers and supporters.
Performance gap between RTX 3070 and RTX 3080 is:
8704/5888 = 4352/2944 is same as RTX 2080 to RTX 2080 Ti but RTX 3080's bandwith huge to compare with RTX 3070 but it differences like 5% not so much.
I think RTX 3080 is 26-30% powerful than RTX 3070. So, RTX 3070 = RTX 2080 Ti+0-4%.
Indeed, that must be uber hard, I imagine that also people doing bills of materials professionally must have at least 10 PhD s.
Jeez, I get tired of TPU experts sometimes...
MLID's former job was just that, calculating BOM's. In any case, it's not rocket science, all you need to do is be exhaustive and spend a little bit of time to find references with prices. It's not very complicated, people who do this professionally don't even need to have a University degree.
nGreedia's marketing are truly customer hating scum.
something nefarious must be going on!
No, we won’t :(

Or 7870 Vs 290xIn the past the console deals were not very lucrative compared to retail sales. I would be surprised if that changes this time around.
I've heard AMD are going to match 2080 Ti performance with a 40CU card clocked around 2.4-2.5Ghz. This will pull Nvidia's pants down as it'll draw less power, have 12GB of memory (GDDR6) and cost $50 less.You can count the amount of people that got Ampere cards at those prices on two hands probably. This is Nvidia's marketing 'trick'.
