I will always believe buying a midrange 8gb card for $700 is dumb. But whatever. Just my opinion.
Kinda hard to call it mid-range when it outperforms the previous gen's flagship GPU for almost half the price that card sold for at MSRP, 8GB notwithstanding. I still don't think 8GB of VRAM is an issue for anyone gaming below 4K either. I would call it a high-end card and try to consider other perspectives outside of the current gen card's performance and pricing before you even need to factor in the past 18 months of crazy supply and pricing issues.
You can if you want. I consider high end cards geared towards 4k. The 3070ti is not.
I'm just not sure why VRAM size would be the only criteria to determine what class a card belongs to when we have 240+ Hz 1440p and 1080p monitors that even a 3090 would struggle to keep up with at those resolutions with the right IQ settings. Or why you would weigh how much texture data a card can support at 4K more than actual rasterization and RT performance at the same or any other resolution.
The former because 240hz is much more niche than pushing higher resolutions and the latter because the 3070ti will drop off much faster than actual high end cards. Going more into it would probably risk both of us getting flagged for off topic lol. Can continue in PMs if you want.
Well it doesn't have a backplate. And everyone in that pricing tier has already bought a 3070 Ti for $650-$700.
$500 2080ti are so much more reasonable then it was 2 months ago.
Now that's the definition of budget card, and kind of the unicorn people wanting a budget card actually wants. $200 that doesn't suck balls.
It's not being cheap, it's good marketing, luring you to the higher trim level. and your falling for it.
It makes me just go to other companies that have backplates on their lowest models or direct from Nvidia/AMD that also have backplates standard at the lowest price tiers.
Lowest it's been in a long while
Same card was $440 3 weeks ago.
The gaming and ultra models dont ever restock. Not sure why they only put up the black.
Still there as of 0644CST
Yoink. Thanks for the heads up
Still in stock 4 hours later. I guess $480 for 3060 ti is now too much.
