NVIDIA has discontinued production the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti graphics card, as it replaced it with the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER at the $800 price-point, equipped with a wider 256-bit memory bus, 16 GB of memory, and more CUDA cores. With a rather wide $200 price gap between the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER and the RTX 4070 SUPER that's priced at $600, retailers found an opportunity to sell their remaining inventories of the RTX 4070 Ti for around the $700-mark. The cheapest RTX 4070 Ti is the MSI Ventus 2X OC, which is listed at $699 on Newegg, with a coupon shaving off a further $20, bringing the price down to $679.

Would you pay the extra $80 to grab an RTX 4070 Ti over the $600 RTX 4070 SUPER? Our testing shows that the RTX 4070 Ti is about 8% faster than the RTX 4070 SUPER at 1440p, when averaged across our tests. With the latest prices, the RTX 4070 Ti remains 13% pricier than the RTX 4070 SUPER. The RTX 4070 Ti maxes out the 5 nm AD104 silicon, enabling all 60 streaming multiprocessors (SM), for 7,680 CUDA cores, 240 Tensor cores, 60 RT cores, 240 TMUs, and 80 ROPs, besides the chip's full 48 MB L2 cache. Unlike the RTX 4070 SUPER, the RTX 4070 Ti comes with dual NVDEC units.
 
I don't know if that is enough of a price cut.

I also saw lower prices more widely
This suggests a new model card may be in the offing
 

Nvidia pricing is still insane. I remember people freaking out when cards hit the $500 point, and that was for the top dog models. Now that price gets you a entry level card.

On another note rjohnson glad to see you have stuck it out all these years, over a 100k post blew my mind, it seems like yesterday we all were in the 1k totals lol, time sure does fly. It's a bummer the forums are not what they once were, plenty of late nights on here, whether it was from the drama stuff or the counting game stuff it was a cool place to be. Not sure how much longer it will be around but I'm sure yours will be the last post made.
