RTX 4070 12GB, is it Worth it?

Even if you are thinking about buying a 4070 there is no need to rush and buy one today. Without the mining craze and covid even if they all sold out today they will come back into stock and become easier to buy in the weeks to come. Waiting will allow time for AMD to release their 7800 cards and enable a more informed decision. Also for those with a 3080 or 6800/xt/6900xt if FSR3 does work on those do you really need to upgrade this gen or can you skip this generation.

That's like telling a heroin addict they don't need a jab today. Just makes them worse.

This.

There is an abundance of stock of all the new gen cards everywhere.

Without mining and therefore scalpers taking advantage, its very unlikely any 4xxx series cards will be constantly out of stock.

Lets assume they could scale up production of the 4080 - presumably that would accompany price drops, creating more pressure on the top product, the RTX 4090 (which has no competition from AMD).

Nvidia always has a flagship card that they intend to set the price as high as possible for. producing more 4080s would likely mean price drops for the 4090.

Maybe that will change when the 4090 TI releases.

I think you need to visit the nvidia store the 4080 FE has never gone out of stock and if you are finding the stores you shop at not have them in.. maybe they are seeing them as a risky purchase because as I said Nvidia can't even shift their 4080 fe.

There is i think a tendency to panic that the situation will be like it was with the 3XXX cards.

That was only due to mining and by extension scalping etc. They were basically free or easy to make double your money selling some of them on in an instant. Ofcourse they sold out instantly.
