RTX 4070 12GB, is it Worth it?

Keep it. Plenty of others willing to pay asking price apparently
It seems with the skyrocketing wafer prices Nvidia's new strategy is sell a lot less volume, but make a lot more profit from each sale. With such dominance in market and mindshare you can see why they would do this
You’ve only got to spend an additional
£49 and it’s yours from OCUK.
That leaves £1 for a Mars bar.
Heck you even get a copy of the last of us included.

I was agreeing with you, my reply was reflecting the users decision on choosing the RTX 4070.
Was tempted to replace the 3070 with a 4070 today, but as my other rig has a 3080, I'd have 2 gpu's at the same performance mark, which goes against my upgrade policy of moving gpu's down a system.
The 70 is the smallest comparable price increase if I take into account my launch day aib 70 cost £519.
At a £70 increase, although it's not too bad, as the performance increase isn't great considering it's depending on software to push the numbers up but in an apples to oranges comparison, tempting isn't enough, that's progress for you, first gen since AMD's 4870 and it's looking like I'm not getting any shiny new gpus at this rate.

Why aren't you considering rDNA 3? Not being funny now but surely vram is an issue for you so wouldn't it be a better choice in your situation?
You need a policy for that
?
1 year warranty, no thanks. Decent AIB card @£750 with 3 year warranty or no deal.
The 7900xt for me is the same price as the 4070 and much faster and more vram
The 7900xt is the clear winner
The fact that he would even be considering a 12gb card after making his dodgy is 12gb enough thread also says a lot
So Bencher's a tailor?

The only issue it's gave me is the grief for capturing it, putting the data out and talking about it.
Always said they are great cards, but they have aged like milk.
Upwards from the 4070, I'm not seeing any vfm out with the 4090 and I already sent one back out of fear of scratching it when installing it and being stuck with a coil whining GPU.
I can take the hit with scratching a £600 GPU, but not taking the hit if something goes wrong testing for coil whine.
I wonder what's going on with AMD.
Maybe they are waiting for the RTX 3080 and 3080 TI to completely sell out.
EDIT - someone pointed out this professional card that gives me some hope. It's essentially a cut down RX 7900 XT, but with 32GB of VRAM:

It certainly demonstrates that Navi31 can be cut down a bit further.
32GB of VRAM is a tad expensive at this point
We just need AMD to release a 16GB consumer version of this card.
The naming scheme suggests it's of the '7800' product class, it's something of a hint I think.

12Gbs the new minimum now so less of a gamble a 4070 won't be toast@1080p.
My thread was about discussing official game requirements which has been vindicated as new titles are requiring higher specs now, just like your comment there, I can't help it if people cause chaos on threads getting them closed, not my fault you can't play along and just like above and in that thread you always always have to have a dig every time.

That would have put it in line with a Turing 2070 upgrade but this is a new low.

Here we go again, playing the victim card. Dude you was the one who made the 12gb thread that got locked, not me
It was not even done on good faith as you refused to update the OP and was just enjoying the wind up.
I play along fine. But anyway, let's get back on topic
