MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Gaming X TRIO review

MSI has stepped up to the plate with their Gaming X TRIO GeForce RTX 4070 Ti. It is factory-tweaked (slightly) but looks great. It comes with whisper-quiet cooling, and is quite impressive in all respects.

Just noticed that there are 12 cards that perform similar to the RX6600XT with only + - 10 fps in it. That's one heck of a window when looking for a best value 2nd hand card.
But not so good is what hardware features you need form one of those cards.
To be harsh though, that's got nothing to do with the 4070ti review, and also +-10fps means nothing when there is no context what the baseline fps is - instead you'd express it as +/- percentage performance which is far more useful to understand what's going on when comparing cards.
EDIT: so few comments in this thread since this review was posted two days ago - but that's cool, I suppose noone gives a rats *ss about the 4070ti as a lesser interesting card of the priced out & therefore generally irrelevant 4000 series.

So basically, you are getting 3090TI performance at half the price, with a 4070TI. It sounds great, but the cheapest 3090Ti I can find is around $1700 U.S. The MSRP for the 4070TI is $799 U.S. but we all know that is not what you will pay. Price to performance is still out of whack. In 2015 a GTX 980TI, which at the time was considered a beast of a gpu, cost $650 U.S. In today's money that is around $817. I will even concede 25% for present day labor costs and import tax and the pricing goes to $1000. That is where the RTX 4090 MSRP pricing should have started. The cheapest RTX 4090 I could find is $2100. According to my rough calculations, as inaccurate as they may be, the 4000 series gpu's are overpriced by AT LEAST 100% (What I mean is it is double the price it should be lol.)
