Moores Law is Dead is reporting the 13th April release of the RTX 4070 with a price of £750.

Would you buy a RTX 4070 at £750?

Personally no, might as well buy a 4070 Ti for £50 more, if can find it at that price, or just buy a 7900XT.
 
GTX 970 cost about £350.00. Over 100% increase. So no thanks. Yes, I know the GTX 970 came out about 9 years ago.

The tech sector is in free fall. Banks going bust, tech giants cutting thousands from the workforce. Interest rates going up cutting cheap credit. Inflation of fuel and food also cutting into available funds.

People will argue that NVIDIA will just sell their chips to the server market, for good money. However, does the server market want their hobbled RTX 4070's? In light of the above shrinkage in revenue in the tech sector.

NVIDIA can do one.
 
More of Nvidias masterplan is revealed. Price the higher tier cards at a higher tier to leave room for the lesser cards to be priced higher. Total rip off.

With how cut down the 4070 is compared to the 4070ti you will be better off getting the ti for +£100. Each new release is worse value.

Looking at how crippled the 4070Ti is, I wouldn't even pay £500 for a regular 4070.

The 4070 is expected to have performance that sits between, RTX 3080 Ti and an RTX 3080, and Nvidia seems to have decided to set the price as well between the, RTX 3080 Ti and an RTX 3080.

Why release the 4070 for more expensive than the 7900xt is currently selling for?

Everyone should just buy the 7900xt

converted to pounds, 7900xt is selling for as low as 650 pounds where I am, so I dont see how they can sell a GPU thats slower than the 7900xt for 100 pounds more expensive. The average buyer would be daft to buy the 4070 if the price is real

I think the RTX 4070 FE will be priced between £570-£600.

The RTX 4070 third party cards will probably cost around £100 more (cheapest models), so around £700 on launch, with the gap narrowing over time.

That's similar to what we see with the FE and AIB models of the 4080 and 4090.

I don't think the aib prices will seem very tasty to customers.

I guess they could try bundling the RTX 4070 with the new Hogwarts game.

If I'm wrong, I'll try to get a used RTX 3080 (again) from CEX, hopefully there will be more people selling theirs.

I'm not expecting next gen cards to be priced more cheaply tbh. 5nm and below is likely to work out more expensive.

Inflation could fall to 2% by the end of 2023 apparently, so that might help.
