Reports Point to Price Hiking of MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Ti "MSRP" Cards

[Rightness_1]

They are already not worth the original $750 price, but $900+ forget it.

I really don't understand this.
WHY do people buy those overly overpriced cards anyways?? Surely no game is worth investing more than 700$ for a video card that can not even play at native resolution with more than 60fps the latest games.
This is so ridiculous on so many levels....

Is the US's new import tariff calculated into MSRP? I can see 5070 Ti listings for as low as £799 on this side of the pond, which is really not bad.

Although, true that even the Ventus, which should be a base model is £859, so there's definitely something fishy over at MSi.

Of course people are going to point at AMD. The only one who is responsible for AMD being in the position it is currently in is AMD, and if they still can't either gain or maintain marketshare while everybody else is out to lunch, that is absolutely, 100% their fault.

If AMD wants market share, it should deliver a compelling product at a compelling price. Consumers are not obligated to buy their products, and those consumers are currently on NVIDIA hardware - convincing AMD's whole 10% of the market that the 9070 is a good deal isn't the objective here. It's giving the other 90% a deal they can't say "no" to.

Here's a thought, by the way: maybe if you don't try and just go with the flow, you shouldn't be mad when you lose marketshare due to your lack of effort? Just a saying.

You don't seem to know how people think. There's always an excuse not to buy AMD. I personally know several people who wouldn't have an AMD card even if it was free (not to disagree with you - your point is equally valid).
