This guy pulls this BS every time one of his "predictions" fails to come true .... Oh he wasn't wrong about the $750 price and pulls out a lame excuse to explain why he was off by 20%
The rtx4070 was never going to be $750. And I think it was stated that Nvidia said to the aib partners not to charge more than $750 for their cards. That would probably mean the tricked out ones. I said a long time ago without having to leak anything that they were going to charge $599 because that was going be the most reasonable price. I said that on many posts I made. Common sense is just common sense.
The last of us? Isn't that more like an interactive novel? And it needs 12GB VRAM on 1080P? Do these guys have a conscience? Nobody should buy it until they cut 2/3 off VRAM requirements. ------- And what of the mobile 4070 then? Price cut too? The mobile versions effectively use a chip 1 tier lower but should at least technically be priced similar to the chip they claim to be?
The review deadline of non-cheapest models equals the launch date. During the first few seconds, interesting models are reasonably priced. After we will have had a chance to read / view the reviews of the individual models, we might want to buy but won't because prices will be too high again. Nvidia's brilliant scheme not to sell RTX 4000 in significant amounts continues.
Serial leaker Moore's Law Is Dead has alleged in a recent video that AIBs partners aren't stoked to see NVIDIA marking the RTX 4070 price down significantly from the initial US$749.99 to US$599.99. However, Team Green might have made arrangements to take some of the burden caused by this price adjustment off AIBs.
