If the RTX 4080 12GB at $899 was a joke, the 4070Ti at the same price is even a bigger joke.
As for the price of the 7900XTX's custom cards, I agree that they're unusually high, but there isn't much we can do about it, right? They can say that they sell less AMD cards and, therefore, the R&D costs of the new coolers has a bigger impact on the pricing than on Nvidia products.
Btw, I hadn't noticed that the 7900XT was smaller and thinner than the bigger XTX model.
Please excuse my bad English.
