RX570.? if so that was my last AMD GPU as well.
I bought it for £60 from Facebook marketplace just to have HDMI 2.0 out in my HTPC.
Sold it somewhere in the middle of mining craze to my mate for £50 but could get probably 3x that if I have put it on eBay.
He is still using it with his i5 2500K that he never overclocked lol.

As soon as you find out that the DIY PC market is a tiny fraction of the overall computer market then it will all fall into place. The truth is that too few people actually buy a GPU by itself, and of those only a minority care/know about these shenanigans, then even fewer still will be so outraged (for the lack of a better word) so as to not buy from Nvidia. Plus the actual growth potential is AI-related, not so much selling to gamers anymore, so in fact making the GPUs too affordable might be self-defeating because the AI people can make use of them just as well and for more money (this is also a BIG reason as to why NV in particular is so stingy with vram; it's really useful for ML). So why allocate or price things for gamers? Doesn't really make sense.
So I'd say they don't need to care. Sadly.
Heck just look at Tommy, perfect example, cries about Nvidia and how they are evil for skimping on vram and how this awful practice by Nvidia is causing him issues in all these games yet he keeps buying green
Must be a masochist or something
That was 2006 model, 2008 was RV770. I had 4870x2 card, so was two cards in one. At the time it was around £ 450

Pathetic price.
No it ain't. Not for Nvidia. I still remember the outrage people had about their GTX 970's vram issue. What did they do, get a refund, add a lot more on top and bought a 980. Yep, that will teach them!
It did teach them... how you can use a **** product to get people to pay even more :s
Only if I could sell my existing GPU for an inflated price to keep the net cost low.

Do you two have to keep digging this up at every opportunity?
I'd hate to see another thread closed over the vram argument

It'll be $699, that's starting price, which is still a ridiculous price, $200 more than the 3070 MSRP.

You know what.... i know this is an Nvidia thread but this is too stupid to ignore.
If its $750 this is the better GPU, it will be 20%+ better in raster, and the same if not slightly better in RT, Nvidia's pricing in this segment is so bad they have lost the RT argument entirely, its no better than AMD on similar priced cards.

You are not wrong but Nv will manipulate their slides to show how much faster it is in the 1 game where DLSS 3 works well and compare it to non DLSS 3070 so they can showcase x3 performance where in fact it is barely 50% faster for 50% more money.
Nv obviously have their sale strategy mapped out and maybe they think that the gamers on 1060s and 2060s have to eventually upgrade and pay their over inflated profiteering prices.
If AMD were clever they should launch the 7800xt (or whatever they call the next card down in their tier list) at £500 and make bank. If they care about market share they could snatch 20% back with a well priced product and make friends with the new 4870 for this generation. Unlikely to happen because AMD are adopting their own special pricing strategy and that confuses me as well, it is almost as if they do not want to sell gpus.

Is the rtx4070 worth the rumoured £750... not in the slightest, hell the 4070ti and maybe even the 4080 shouldn't even cost that...
The worst thing is though is that there will be people out there that will be stupid enough to pay it and Jenson will just keep swimming in his pool filled with cash, just like Scrooge McDuck.

I don't know about $500. Which would be nice but i can't see it, unfortunately. Its a bit like Junior Doctors asking for a 35% pay rise, not going to happen.
The 7900XT has unofficially dropped to $800, because, well, it would sell at its stupid $900 price.
With that the 7800XT can't be more than $700, the 6800XT was $649 and that was a decent price.

No disrespect to you, but the constant amount of
You can look over those threads and see I stated over and over again that my 3080 FE was THE best card @£650 money could buy as I always play within settings to suit 10Gb.
I didn't get the 12Gb enough thread closed, that was down to others and wasn't impressed with the mod comment of 'Creating troll threads is as bad as posting rubbish and will lead to access removed from this section'
12GB vram enough for 4K? Discuss.. thread was and still is a valid point!
Thanks for noticing and listening.

That's a **** deal too. It should be £549 at most also.
