Fresh rumors regarding the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti, one of NVIDIA’s next Ada Lovelace graphics cards, have surfaced today. According to a report from MyDrivers, the GPU will cost under $500, meaning it could be more expensive than its predecessor, the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, which launched for $399 in December 2020. Leaker kopite7kimi has also claimed that the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti will be just as powerful as a GeForce RTX 3070.
From a MyDrivers article (machine translation):
Obviously, NV has started on it again and made performance adjustments. According to sources, this is to enter the market in the price range below $500 (about 3380 yuan), and it is expected that the new product will be launched in 2023. Launch around mid-year.
According to reports, the RTX 4060 Ti will use the AD-106 GPU, with 4352 CUDA cores, equipped with 8GB 18Gbps GDDR6 memory, and the memory interface width is expected to be 128bit. The L2 cache of the GPU is increased to 32MB, and the power consumption of the graphics card is 160W.
MyDrivers goes on to suggest that the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti will feature the new PCIe Gen 5 12VHPWR connector, although that isn’t surprising based on what users will find in the existing GeForce RTX 40 Series, which comprises the GeForce RTX 4090, GeForce RTX 4080, and GeForce RTX 4070 Ti. Originally launched in October 2020, the reference model of the GeForce RTX 3070 features 5,888 CUDA cores, 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, and a boost clock of 1.73 GHz.

Join Discussion →That doesn't impress me much, the 2080ti will be 5 years old almost by the time this comes out, and it offered similar performance.
Great news: New you can upgrade to 5 year old performance only for $500.
And the 2080ti wasn’t a huge upgrade over the 1080ti. That means my launch day 1080ti purchase still has meaningful performance compared to the current stack almost 7 years and 3 generations later. I’m not sure if that is exciting or depressing.
Under $500 eh? So, $479.99.
Wait a sec, the inter-generational performance comparison is supposed to reflect positively on the 4060 Ti? Is there even a card situated between the RTX 3060 Ti and 3070 that could make it possible to show weaker gains?
$499.99
Weak and lame.
So… 3070 performance for 3070 price. That is progress
What was the “real” sales price of the 3070, not the fake msrp? I feel like it was more like 800-900, but I don’t really remember, so 499 for an 850 card from last generation seems… Not terrible?
You can't use the crypto craze prices as reference. Even 1650s cost a zillion then.
This. MSRP on 3070 was $499 - but pandemic crazytown mining price was all over the map for everything.
3070 performance for 3070 prices. This seems like the LEAST appealing card from Nvidia of the current generation no matter what type of consumer you are.
Msrp was meaningless during that time, and I wasn’t alone in repeatedly calling out reviewers for using a bunk metric (msrp) to form conclusions in the reviews. Since basically none of the cards sold for msrp it wasn’t a good metric then, and isn’t a good metric now for comparison if the card can’t be bought for that (as far as I know, the 3070 isn’t in stock anywhere, let alone at msrp).
That just means the 3070 wasn't good value either, due to the actual price, but this is not good value even at msrp, and you know it will be sold for more than msrp. I mean the 4070ti's msrp is supposed to be $800, but I have not seen one under €1100 here.
There are 30+ 799 4070tis at my local microcenter, and I even see some at new egg:

This totally blows the doors of the availability of the 3070 2 weeks after release.
$350-400 and I'd snag one to replace the 980Ti in my kids' computer.
Maybe one day gpus will be available in the EU again for close to MSRP, I'm not saying MSRP, because that was never the case even before 2020.
And that is not giving you a hint? It means it is not selling very well, which suggests people don't consider it good value. And you are comparing availability to when everything flew off the shelves, not because they were good value, but because of cryptobros.
You just can't directly compare prices or availability to 2021. It was an anomaly, not the new norm.
