Yeah exactly. The 3080 was £650 so the 4070 should be no more than £480-500 like the 3070 was.
The 4080 should be £650-700.
4070 outselling everything else at Germany's largest tech retailer. So the armchair sales analysts better not give up their day job.
Are you reading the same data as everyone else?
From the top 8 cards, a total of 3,095 cards, only ~17% were RTX 4070's in release week - I am not sure how you consider that a success along with the fact the prices are being dropped.

Especially as its the new release. You have to be severely blinkered to conclude that these sales numbers are OK.

That's great, yay.... good for Nvidia.
SEEEEElebration time Come on......
Yeah I made a couple posts about them, its commical...."SELLING FAST!" etc etc.Retailer marketing emails promoting RTX 4000 series, anyone getting these?
"Beyond fast"

They should read:
"Look it's virtually the same thing Nvidia released 2 and a half years ago for £50 less! But hey you can actually buy one now as they no longer print money!"

The thing is that sort of hyperbole marketing works and its never questioned when Nvidia do it, which they do constantly.
If AMD do it the entire tech press have a field day with it.
And yes that ###### me off a bit, because while its funny and plainly ridiculous it does work and these two vendors are held to entirely different standards, its because the make fun of and ridicule videos get a lot of clicks, that's why they do them but wouldn't dare do it to Nvidia so they sit around waiting for AMD to make the slightest mistake.
How many of these tech jurnalists picked up the AMD cracked die thing? all of them, half of them even said...... "its AMD's drivers" because of course it is...... not one of them stopped to think about it critically for so much as 10 seconds because if they had they would have realised how ridiculous all that was.

The RX6800/RX6950XT are the two dGPUs bracketing the RTX4070 in price and sold 640 units. These ancient dGPUs are selling 20% more than the RTX4070 which is a brand new release. Over half the buyers went and bought an AMD equivalent instead when they could have bought an RTX4070TI. The overpriced RX7900XT is outselling the RTX4070TI too.
The RX6700XT/RX6600/RX6600XT/RX6650XT/RX6750XT(1290) sell more than the RTX3050/RTX3060/RTX3060TI/RTX3070/RTX3070TI/GTX1660 Super(525) combined. In fact more RX6600 dGPUs are sold than the RTX3060/RTX3060TI/RTX3070/RTX3070TI/GTX1660 Super together.
AMD is doing basically nothing as these RDNA2 prices have been around for months.
Absolute success!

RTX 4070 hasn't even been out a week.
It's an interesting climb down though from people. I thought no one was buying these cards.
The post everyone is referring to was also posted on 15th April. At best it is counting 2 days of RTX 4070 sales.
As usual the AMD brigade making up stories.

Ahhhh Chemical Ali, how we miss thee...
Ay?
It's clear they aren't selling as well as hoped. There is no other reason multiple retailers have dropped some models to £550 within 5 days.
Well it's the best selling card for the week for that retailer, after only counting 2 days of sales.

I make a prediction - the more Nvidia reduces the price the more sales will happen!
Exactly - when is the last time we saw Nvidia cards being priced dropped a few days after launched? When is the last time we saw AIB partner models below an FE price?
World+Dog knew this release was out a few days ago and those MindFactory figures were out a few days ago too(so they need to find something to spin this launch with). It's like the Ghost of Rollo has turned up.
Anybody spending over £500 on a dGPU would know this and would wait for reviews.Yet plenty of people either went along and bought RX6800/RX6950XT cards before the launch or after at this one retailer in Germany. Those RDNA2 cards have barely dropped in price for months and I don't think they are cheap enough either.
Once this gets dropped further in price it should sell much better. Which is what retailers are doing. The last time Nvidia dropped pricing was with Turing.
We apparently have some people on here who admire his style and adherence to facts and reality.

Nvidia won't cut prices because of AMD, Jensen believes geforce is far superior and won't damage its brand. AMD is not growing market share, they don't want to. They will piggyback Nvidia pricing but with more vram but inferior software. And the cycle continues of Nvidia outselling AMD 10-1.
Why would you celebrate this if its true to the wider market? It may make you feel better about your recent questionable purchase but ultimately all it means is you'll be buying poor GPUs for high prices for the foreseeable future

This explains it:
Apple triggers 'religious' reaction in fans' brains, report says
Next time Grandma asks why you're going to the mall on Sunday morning instead of church, tell her you're going to Apple Chapel.

PCMR sold a lifestyle,so even if it screws them over longterm it doesn't matter. It happens not only with dGPUs,but people justifying CPU and motherboard price rises and segmentation,etc(not immune on the AMD or Intel side of things either). Or people defending predatory monetisation in games and attacking consumer advocates(not the companies themselves). People serve the companies,not the companies serving the consumers line. You saw that marketing line start to be increasingly used around 10~15 years ago on social media.

Also is it really surprising that the newly released card sells the most in the week its release? Yeah its a poor card for a bad price but it's the first new release for a reasonable price many people would have been waiting for a new card in this price bracket. Just a shame Jenson took a dump and sold it
Buying GPUs isn't some long term game.
It's funny just seeing people who make hundreds of anti-nvidia posts just be wrong.
