WCCFTech:
“The official MSRP of the card is $799, which is $1200 less than the $1999 MSRP of the RTX 3090 Ti.”
Do the review and news sites really have no shame?
We all know RTX 3090 Ti came out at the height of cryptomadness. After the miners completely stopped buying the cards, the MSRP fell, first to $1500, then to $1150, and cards were even sold below that, at $1000 in USA, at 50% of original MSRP… The price went up of course when the RTX 4080 came out, with the terrible price / performance ratio.
The conclusion:
“While the RTX 4090 sold like hot cakes considering the value proposition it was giving on a TFLOPs/$ basis, the RTX 4080 did not do well at all considering the bad price point. The RTX 4070 Ti is much much closer to the value proposition that the RTX 4090 made and should sell much better as well.”
Only because you compare it to scalped price levels! And I seriously doubt RTX 4070 Ti will be “as fast as 3090 Ti” - by TechPowerUp numbers
4080 16GB is only 2% faster than 3090 Ti in 1440p, 4% in 4K - undetectable without benchmarking. What are the odds 4070 Ti being as fast at $500 less?
So, remember when W1zzard wrote in RTX 4080 review that we have to compare it to scalped price levels of Ampere, not “fake” $699 MSRP of 3080? A line that he then removed from conclusion? Will the shenanigans return with RTX 4070 Ti review, this time someone will be able to use “real 3090 Ti MSRP”? And then tell us he wasn’t pressured by Nvidia to tell such blatant lies at all?
