RTX 4070 12GB, is it Worth it?

The trouble is, most of the people that wanted this level of performance likely already have it. It just isn't worth upgrading from a 3070/3070ti/3080, because of the cost.
If this was more in the £400 - £500 range, it would be more worth it for those who already have a mid to high level card.
The market for graphics cards is not infinite (it was infinite due to mining - and im not entirely sure Nvidia get that) . That is why Nvidia can't just keep raising prices, raising the price of tiers, and keeping price/performance the same. It is a road to nowhere.
It is, effectively the same performance they released over 2 and a half years ago for the same price.

You can apply that to the entire 4000 series, including the cards that aren't released yet!
Nvidia forgot that they selling graphics cards for gaming again now, and not literal money printers.

A lot of stock counters not even moving, even on the cheapest models.

Nothing seems to be sold out anywhere. FE is still in stock as well as all types of MSRP models.
Or maybe not.
MSI's RTX 4070 Ventus 3X comes with the same silvery look that we've seen on the company's other Ventus GeForce 40 cards. Compared to their GeForce 30 Ventus units, the silver color is more pronounced now. On the other side you'll find a plastic backplate that has a cutout for air to flow through.
Yeah exactly. Even for me with a 3060 I don't really see the point, like if I wanted to spend that much I would already have a 3080 FE as it wasn't that much more expensive than the 4070 to begin with. And there's no chance I'll upgrade to a 4060/ti because I won't be able to run stable diffusion properly any more.
Everyone be waiting for the Super with 16GB (lols)

Just had a look at one of the only online stores in Europe that lists almost exact sold numbers (it's a German store, but I think I can't mention it here). It's the market leader in Germany, and they have sold about 115 4070's since launch. That's a ridiculously small amount
The enthusiasm just isn't there.
If this was released at the same RRP price as the 3070 (ie £469) it would have likely flown off the shelves. At nearly the same price as the 3080 two and half years later? Na.

Literally just checked and FE still in stock to purchase, these must be selling REALLY (sarcasm) well........
Keep your wallets on lock down people, send a message to Ngreedia that this value proposition is NOT what the market is prepared to entertain!

Because increasingly people seem aware that nvidia is pushing tiers up. This generation is probably worse than Turing in many ways, because it's on a new node too.

Would a secondhand RTX3090 make sense?Yeah exactly. Even for me with a 3060 I don't really see the point, like if I wanted to spend that much I would already have a 3080 FE as it wasn't that much more expensive than the 4070 to begin with. And there's no chance I'll upgrade to a 4060/ti because I won't be able to run stable diffusion properly any more.
You can already buy a 7900xt for the same price as the upper end AIB 4070 cards and while the XT uses a lot more power it’s much faster. If AMD shaved even £50 or £100 off the price of it they would have the card to buy right now .
