RTX 4070 12GB, is it Worth it?

If the list is from the German store, Mind Factory, then it maybe because a 7900XTX is a lot cheaper than a 4080, as a whole in the UK and Europe.
On OCUK, you can get an AIB 7900XTX card for £1049, with the most expensive at, £1300, whereas the cheapest 4080 is, £1170, and the most expensive is, £1560.
WCCFTech, say the 4070s theoretical compute power, based on information to hand, should be the same as a 3080, so around 30% performance increase over the 3070.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Consumes The Same Power As An RTX 3060 But As Fast As An RTX 3080
NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4070 is going to be an extremely efficient graphics card for gaming when it launches in a few weeks.

My concern is the Memory bus is reduced from 256bit, 3070, to 192bits on the 4070, and the impact this will have, but the L2 cache on the 4070 is a lot higher, 36MB, compared to 4MB on the 3070, so may offset the lower bus.
You are correct, so all we can do is wait for the reviews.I wish i could say theory always tracks with reality.
If i had to guess it maybe closer to 20% so a measly 5% better price to performance.
If the place holder prices are correct, for AIB cards, then might as well buy a 7900XT, better value, and term used very loosely.
Appears the 4070 will come in 2 versions, one with a standard 8 pin PCIe power connector and one with the new 12v power connector, and appears the 8 pin version will be the "cheap" version, around MSRP, while the 12v connector version will be premium, £700 plus.
Appears there will be a 2 tier plan for the 4070, to allow AIBs to be able to charge more and provide a better card if you can afford it.

The best word to describe the 4070 is "Meh".
It's a solid but underwhelming card that is as per standard Nvidia pricing just a bit to much for what is offered.
Yet it is the cheapest next gen card there is so for the moment for the mid range gamer it's the only option.

OCUK have listings for the 4070 up, but no pricing.
Large selection to choose from.
Thought this Zotac card had the best aesthetics.

Remember to check the warranty length, often overlooked, in favour of performance and looks.
Better to pay extra for a longer warranty, as well as performance, some of the cards have 3 years while others have 5 years.
A 6800XT may be the better bargain, as near equivalent performance but more VRAM and larger memory bus.
You never know and rumours have it that AMD are taking there time on the 7800XT and below as they want to fix the issues seen in the 7900's.
The 7900XT may drop in price again, say £750, and if AMD do, then it could be the go to card for many people who wnat more performance than a 4070 class card but not the price of a 4080.
Depends on the resolution, at 1440P, the 7900XT is 30% plus faster then the 4070, but at 4K drops to 16-20% on average.Isnt it only about 10% faster
Irony is that last gen AMD cards, ignored in the beginning for the shinny Nvidia card and RT performance, are looking to be better value in the long term, with better RT performance, e.g. 6800XT v 3070, today, and equalling or bettering the 4070.

Price is about the same at other sites.According to this review OCUK is charging over the MRSP of this Zotac card, so if anything they should have room to come down, (unless the reviewer has got the price mixed up with the trinity),

He was half right, got the top end of the scale for 4070 pricing.

Having the options of an 8pin or 12pin connector, means there is the option to charge extra for the 4 more pins.
