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.

115 Comments on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti to Launch $100 Cheaper Than RTX 4080 12 GB
Fast forward about 3 months and the 3080 12GB dropped, with the 3080Ti and 3090 upwards of $2k+ and the 3080 10GB pushing the $1k range, the 12GB model dropped in without a MSRP and started selling for about $1200 retail. Eventually a MSRP was listed for the 3080 12GB at $899....or 799 (I don't remember without looking). It was all just a big fustercluck.
Thankfully Nvidia (and it appears AMD is on board with Nvidia's methods) are working on making this current gen a fustercluck, too, when it comes to pricing and performance gains. I guess we wait to see what these mid-ranged cards can bring to the table with performance and pricing.
Meanwhile nVidia has melting cables.
I want to see $700 for the XT and $900 for the XTX or I'm not buying. I'm sitting this out for 6 months and see where we are. The 3060-class GPU die in the 4070 Ti is an insult. $600, fine, but $800? NO way. Garbage.
Not good value at all.
I won`t believe until I see 4070Ti selling for less than 7900XT but if so, can be a good choice in those uber-high $$$ times.
It's just that bloody pricing. Nobody should be defending the bar that Nvidia set and AMD followed.
As @Garrus says, in the post you quotes:If you're mentioning that, might as well pull in the cable problem (this gen) or the problem "discovered" by new World (last gen).

Price still too high for what they give in perf, which at this rate shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone, given both Nvidia and AMDs pricing.
But unless you are gaming at high res/framerate, you can keep playing with old cards (got a mate on 1070 and my old laptop with 1060m still is playable)
3080-10GB - £720 - www.scan.co.uk/products/palit-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3080-gamingpro-v1-10gb-gddr6x-ray-tracing-graphics-card-8704-core-1710mhz-b
6800XT - £650 - www.overclockers.co.uk/powercolor-radeon-rx-6800-xt-red-devil-16gb-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-19t-pc.html
7900XT - £899 - but all of these are based on the AMD reference design, with the potentially faulty vapor chamber.A number of AIB's have also used the stock AMD design, so no, not just MBA. Der8auer commented that this issue is effecting thousands of cards, which is a lot worse than the 50 cases (so nVidia says) of the power connector issue with the 4090.
3080 10GB - 9999,- NOK (1,004 USD)
6800 XT - 8 699,- NOK (874 USD)
7900 XT - 11 290,- NOK (1,135 USD)
4080 - 16 409,- NOK (1,650 USD) (note, this was 2nd cheapest, but cheapest in storage)thousands...? and that's based on the 40 reported cases, with again 4 of them tried (and not concluded what the fault is)?
It's its own thread for that issue anyways, and imo, not very related to a thread about rumored 4070Ti www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/amd-radeon-rx-7900-xtx-may-feature-faulty-coolers-causing-overheating.302917/
I think at this price 4070 Ti will be having a walk in the park. It's ridiculously expensive for a xx70 product, but again it will sell like hotcakes.
I guess it's going to be stagnation, monopoly and slow news for at least the next 2 years.
