How should the owners of the RTX 4070 Ti feel at this time when the price of the model with less capabilities is already known? We say this due to the fact that apart from having less active cores and running at a lower clock speed, both graphics cards use the same GPU and, therefore, also the same PCB and components. So in costs they should not be very different, however, we find what …
… The RTX 4070 would cost 200 euros less than the Ti
Well yes, what has not surprised the most about the RTX 4070 is its price, the fact that it has been leaked that its official price in the United States will be $599here it will not be much higher unless they want to shoot themselves in the foot, it puts a series of questions on the table for us.
It is said that a paranoid company is the one that works best in the market, if NVIDIA has been able to maintain its market share it is by overestimating its rivals and acting as if they were going to act to the best of their abilities. The logical answer to the extremely expensive RTX 4070 Ti by AMD would have been a counterpart in the form of the RX 7800 XT at a price not much higher than the RTX 3070. What has the brand done in green? Getting ahead of said movement, of course, with a considerable price difference between the two pieces, which is controversial to say the least.
There is an additional reason why the RTX 4070 has to sell for 599 dollars and this is the next generation consoles, who has a tower PC and wants to play games for that price can opt for a PS5 or an Xbox Series X, something that in the end is much more expensive for the price of PSN Plus or Game Pass, but that is the front price. You can’t sell those people an RTX 4070 at a price close to that of the 4070 Ti or you give your rival room to eat the market.
It is common in the industry
The conclusion we draw? It is the problem of those who adopt new generations of products, the fact of having the best, of the best before anyone else, supposes a premium that companies use to pay for the development of their products. This is not something exclusive to NVIDIA and it is something common in the industry that has been done for many years now. After all, it is the problem of those who buy cutting-edge devices and components. In any case, we would like to know your opinion. Are NVIDIA’s high-end graphics cards too expensive?
