Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Ti review: a next-gen GPU that's worth the asking price?
Benchmarks, analysis and more - the Digital Foundry breakdown.

Eurogamer making excuses for Nvidia again. Eurogamer is only good for DF Retro and their optimisation guides. This and the High On Life review just reinforces my view that Eurogamer are totally out of touch with the general public.

You beat me to it by a split second! Eurogamer really are ridiculous. But they know what needs to be done if they keep wanting to get those sweet Nvidia pre launch exclusives and advertising pounds.

I just watched that before even seeing this post and thought HaHa what an Ngreedia shill.
Backlash means nothing if they're selling out and making money though. The test will be if people actually hold on to their money instead of complaining while they spend £900+ on 3070 Tis

Nvidia will let us know how much it’s affected them with a middle finger in the shape of a 4090ti.

For £2k I can either buy a 4090 or Mac studio and for me the Mac is the better deal and long term a better investment
I find your motivations weird though, what is your use case for the 4090 and the Mac? I'm assuming seeing as you were considering a 4090 you're a gamer, so buying a Mac is shooting yourself in the foot for that. Or do you do production-type-things and want a Mac for that?

Pretty much price fixing looking at the rules..

Best option currently then, get a used 30 series upper end, enjoy games. Skip 40 series because you are being bent over a rusty bench however anyone tries to explain it.

I would have made an RTX4070TI review thread but I am not sure I can be bothered now. At this rate I might just buy a console in the end.

I bought myself a PS5 to tide me over until PC hardware becomes a bit more sensible again. And frankly it feels like a bit of a bargain in comparison.

Everything's gone up massively. Local bike shop just closed, as they say the cheaper end demand has disappeared. Still selling the high end stuff, but saying that even for entry level bikes from big brands, it's £1k.
MOst are used to being fairly well off and expect that to keep progressing. The money printing from 2008 delayed what's coming.
We've been as rich as we were gonna be for a good while. Many on here are 90's kids and later, will only have experienced this as their history and how things go economically.
Decline is coming for all, and for a good long while. Too much resemblance regarding current issues, mirroring the 70's.
A 4090 does make a good heater if you can afford the leccy.

I dunno, folk who got a 3090 at £1399 MSRP already bent over last gen.

Pretty much.
If DLSS 2/3 improvements are as good as nvidia have shown, performance and even ultra performance will be a noticeable improvement in IQ so ampere will last a good bit longer, balanced mode going forward and performance/ultra performance for the extreme demanding RT titles and here's hoping amds fluid motion/frame generation is good and works on older hardware to provide even more longevity.
So far the only gpu that makes sense to buy out of all this gen (including amd) is the 4090.

Well I'm guessing the sales for 4000 series are **** poor, as I had an alert over 6 and half hours ago for a 4090 and they are still in stock. A dramatic difference from the previous gen that all sold out within seconds. Now that ethereum mining is dead and all the people who couldn't previously get cards now likely have them and don't want to shell out yet more money for over priced toys. Hopefully sales stay dreadful and nvidia and AMD get a well deserved reality check.

I will hang onto what I have for as long as possible,but everyone I know has zero interest in the RTX4000 or RX7900 series,because most of us are mainstream gamers.

Yeah video / photo editing and 3d modelling I have a 13700k with a 3070 which I was looking to upgrade to the high end card but not paying these silly prices anymore so buying a Mac studio and a ps5 is better value in my eyes .
