First NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Graphics Cards Spotted in Retail

Not so sure it'll be all that positive other than for people who will buy Nvidia but nothing else

This is going to be more expensive than a 6800XT while offering 30% less vram with only similar raster performance 2 years later.

Sure the RT and efficiency will be better but in this price segment I'd be willing to bet that RT isn't all that important leaving just efficiency.

In a vacuum vs the comically overpriced 4070ti sure it'll look ok but vs a 2 year old 3080/6800XT not so much.

Most PC gamers are less aware than console gamers about hardware and are just going to go out and buy as much of the desired brand, nvidia, as they can afford and call it a day. You're forgetting that PC gaming is largely 1080p 60hz low details and full of people that will happily go out and get a 4060 because it's a higher number than 3090 and avoid AMD because it's the bad brand.

Even people who are aware of the differences still will buy Nvidia GPUs.... I find it interesting how easily people switched from intel to amd cpus. I've done countless Ryzen 1000-7000 builds for people who switched from intel to amd but those same people are like na I want an Nvidia gpu even when the Amd options is slightly cheaper and offers better rasterization performance.

I thought in general with all the people switching to ryzen based PCs people would start being more open to their gpus.

Now for me they haven't offered anything compelling enough to switch but I only buy in the high end either the top or one tier down but at the lower tiers amd is pretty competitive.

I don't know about the console gamer thing most console only gamers I know think a PS5 is more powerful than a 4090 lmao.
