I will be in the market for an upgrade of my rig in Q1-Q2 2024, and was eyeing out the 4070 Ti in terms of performance level. But it's $1200 where I live right now, which feels like a total rip off for a gaming card. If that equivalent battle mage card goes for something closer to the MSRP of the 3070Ti ($599) it's bye bye Nvidia for me at least. See you never again.
Intel may be preparing to do a refresh of the Arc Alchemist later this year according to a leaked Intel GPU roadmap posted by serial hardware leaker RedGamingTech. Additionally, Intel is apparently readying Arc Battlemage for release in Q1/Q2 next year.
