On Paper (cause it will cost 2x+ in real life) is a direct competitor to the 6900XT and 6800 in terms of price and Raster performance, it is a bit disappointing. Because in the past, a refresh signifies more powerful GPUs for similar price. 2070 MSRP: $500 then you had 2070 Super MSRP: $500 which performed very close to a 2080. Now you have 3070 Ti and 3080 Ti which more so just puts the cards in between the price gaps that AMD is in. Also 8GB is pretty yikes. The irony is that the 3080 laptop which has the same core count as the 3070 Ti (But obviously less clocks) comes in 16GB of Vram. But granted G6 instead of the G6X. I suppose that is the current market trend. Where refreshes no longer give you more performance for the same price but rather just fill in the hole when it comes to price gaps. |
We're not gonna get a deal like the 1080ti in a long time, Yuri...
Which sucks, because you'd think them bringing out a ti model, would bring some form of balance to the market. All I see happening with this, is it getting snatched up by scalpers/miners soon as. Even with the currency going down in value, some will likely snap it up.
I dunno why they even want to give the market refreshers, because they'll only be filling a rather small and expensive hole, that hardly anyone is going to either want, nor afford, or even manage to grab.
It's like creating a problem, instead of a solution.
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
