I saw the video of the people rushing at Microcentre and it's utterly shameless. Reminds me of the mobs who rush for Black Friday sales. Betting a lot of those people are scalpers since you can resell them at double the MSRP.

Thought about getting one and but passing on this. Between how poor for efficiency they are (and since its getting darn hot in the UK), 8GB VRAM and low value for money it gives. Might reconsider a new GPU when BF 2042 is nearing release though.

Funny because all Techtubers are panning the Ti models including GN. Who recently did a scathing review of the 3070Ti saying it not worth it unless you're buying to scalp, or have no working PC/GPU whatsoever.

Yea pretty much. I think Linus is the only one that's been giving rave reviews for both the 3080 Ti and 3070 Ti and his logic is, it's slightly faster for $600 compared to today's MSRP so get one! But to me, that's kinda nonsense cause those that are watching the reviews are probably going to wait until the prices normalize anyway before picking one up. And yea, the 8GB is a bit too low for it's price bracket. Ironically the laptop version of the 3070 Ti, the 3080 mobile has a 16GB option with the same cuda count but granted lower bandwidth ram. If the 3070 Ti had 16GB of vram, even with it's slight increase in performance, I think it's added price would have been a lot more justifiable.
