NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti to Launch $100 Cheaper Than RTX 4080 12 GB
A leaked NVIDIA company slide confirms that the upcoming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti graphics card will launch at a starting price of USD $799. This would put it $100 cheaper than what was going to be the launch price of the RTX 4080 12 GB. NVIDIA cancelled the launch of the RTX 4080 12 GB, and reportedly re-branded it to the RTX 4070 Ti. The RTX 4080 12 GB was supposed to launch alongside the RTX 4080 16 GB in mid-November 2022, but the company decided to "unlaunch" it, in the wake of bad press on the confusing and deceptive naming of the SKU, and its ambitious MSRP that would have put custom-design cards well above the $1,000-mark.
The NVIDIA slide goes on to claim that the RTX 4070 Ti will be faster than the previous-generation flagship, the RTX 3090 Ti. This is thanks to its 40 shader TFLOP/s, 93 RT TFLOP/s, and 642 Tensor TFLOP/s. The RTX 4070 Ti is expected to debut the new 4 nm "AD104" silicon, featuring 7,680 CUDA cores, 60 RT cores, 240 Tensor cores, 240 TMUs, and 80 ROPs. The card features 12 GB of 21 Gbps GDDR6X memory across a rather narrow 192-bit memory bus. The slide confirms that January 5, 2023 will be the market availability date for the RTX 4070 Ti. NVIDIA's decision to price the RTX 4070 Ti at $799 may have been influenced by the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT priced at $899.

But the competition at least paid off. Buyers are still in profit of $100.
Meh, f you Ngreedia. You just rebranded the card back to the name that was originally meant for it. The price is still a screw up. It still costs 100 usd more than 3080 10 gb lauch msrp and 200 usd more than 3070 ti.
The only good thing I can say about 4070 ti, is that it has a reasonable amount of vram compared to its older model. 12 vs 8 GB vram. But you are also going to pay for that ekstra vram, that makes it harder to be existed.
Seeing both Nvidia and AMD basically offering the same price/performance as my 2 year old rx6800
I had no intension to buy any new GPU right now.
The only card that makes sense this generation is the 4090 and that's assuming you are in the ultra enthusiast camp where money is no object. The 4080 and by extension the 4070 Ti are so cut down in comparison that they provide objectively worse value. VRAM allowances are once again very slim on everything but the 4090. You are paying the same price per frame regardless of what tier you purchase at, only the 4090 has much more VRAM and much more performance to be had as CPU IPC increases. You can see this in VR benchmarks very clearly as the gap between the 4080 and 4090 significantly grows.Assuming you can buy at MSRP. According to GN, people are paying a minimum of $100 over MSRP for 4000 series cards (excluding tax). End of the day this is a midrange card that'll be above former flagship pricing.
Or maybe I'll be surprised and inventory will sit on the shelves like the 4080 did for weeks at my local Micro Center before finally selling out of them.
Don't care, for now I'm getting a second hand 6800XT to upgrade my 1080 Ti and will revisit the 7900 cards maybe in 6 months when I build my new rig. Definitely want to get a 4K monitor this year and the 7900XTX would be ideal.
On the bright side with UE5 running well on consoles, providing true next-gen graphics, unlike rubbish like Portal RTX as it improves graphics in all areas especially geometry not just lighting, running well on PCs, the 7900xtx even beats the 4080 proving once again that RT is just tesselation, barely noticeable but killing even the mightiest of GPUs.
I thought paying $800 for my 2070 Super was bad.
Gaming hw requiments increase at same pace of console generations, which are already way slower than current top of the line gpus. Current gpu are already going for very solid 4k high fps results, there's not much to increase anymore. Next generations will need to focus on price and efficiency.
