Is anyone planning to buy a RTX 3070 TI (8GB GDDR6X VRAM)?

Nvidia have always claimed that the 3090 isn't a gaming card. They were calling the 3080 the "gaming flagship" back at Ampere's launch. I assume they declined to comment when asked why they then allowed partners to make custom models covered in gaming branding, if the 3090 really is a Titan-class card.

That's not true.

Go to 34mins and 14secs he talks about the 3090 and clearly a gaming card too. Just Nvidia marketing with the 3080 and 3080 Ti because sounds silly to pay £1400 at the time for a 3090 to game on, but was sold as a gaming card too, the first 8K gaming card as he put it. Reality now is it's a £3k card to buy if you can't grab an FE.

Yes, it is. It's literally in the video you linked.

Whether they mentioned gaming as something you can do on the 3090 or not, the 3080 was described as the "flagship" gaming card at Ampere's launch, and it's now being replaced by the 3080 Ti in that position. It doesn't mean the 3090 is being "sidelined" from now on. It just means they'll continue being dishonest about what their actual top end gaming card is. I'm not disputing that the 3090 is a gaming card, rather than a Titan. I was saying that back at launch. It's just them wanting to have their cake and eat it, getting to advertise the "flagship" gaming card as being "only" $699, yet still selling one that's even better for more than twice as much.
