US retailer is now giving away $100 Steam Gift cards with all GeForce RTX 40 GPUs

Of course it's MicroCenter but that would essentially make the price of the 4070 $500. At which point that might actually be a good deal. But promotions like this generally means that it ain't selling which is good because it's sending Nvidia the correct message. Assuming nothing shits up, at this rate, RTX 5000 might launch with good price to performance ratio outside of flagship.

Man, living close to a Microcenter store must be awesome given how quickly they resort to discounts, bundles or gift cards to sell more hardware.

That makes the cards look a bit more enticing, but I don't think it will be enough for most users. Nvidia has simply made a terrible mistake judging the market, thinking that people would be ok paying pandemic/crypto pricess for GPUs in regular conditions, and the market has given them the middle finger. And until Nvidia accepts that and takes action lowering the price, things won't change much for them.

Of course, you'll probably post the rumred price of the 4060Ti later today and, if that happens to be real, we'll then see if price is the only factor hurting Nvidia's sales or if the small performance jump also plays a role.

[PSA] Star Wars Jedi: Survivor now retroactively included with 7000-series X3D chips

I called Canada Computers and even though I bought it on the 13th, they gave me the code!

AMD has done a good thing here, which doesn't always happen.

Congratulations to you and hopefully also Mummelmann.
