I'm happy to see also a Ti variant of RTX 4060 from Nvidia and surprised to see even heavier segmentation from AMD in the form of RX 7700 (non-XT). Remains to be seen if they hold from releasing the lesser models till next year, which I certainly hope is not the case, though if they have a large stock of current models then they will likely hold. Possibly the stock will not exist though since now prices are slowly normalizing and people who have waited for a long time will buy a new card instead of waiting before late Q4 - that's the human nature. Also not everybody is a tech oriented buyer who follows product cycles.

To be honest I wish Nvidia would do a Ti version for each gpu, and same for AMD. I think it would allow much better gpu segmentation in the market. GPU naming schemes have been trash for years.

Wasn't that the xx70 models of some HD4000 to HD7000 you are refering to? 5770, 6770, 6790,7790. Or the Rx XX5, like the RX 285 or the XTX

Indeed offering various models is most often a good thing, but this depends on the scalability of the architecture in the case of GPUs. I assume that the manufacturers realized when launching the current generation, that it is pointless to offer that many products because they will not have sufficient stock in any case, so the focus was clearly on the higher end models to gain profit. I certainly welcome the RX 7700, though like the article states it is not 100 % sure to happen. It just might be a 400 € GPU at maximum, unlike the RX 7700 XT which could very well be 500 €. I'm not sure if I agree that there should be a Ti variant of every GeForce card, but sure it would be great for the lower end models; from 500 € downwards it would serve the customers' interest. Usually those who buy the very high end don't really care that much, they just check the performance level and buy based on that, but I guess more variants even there doesn't hurt (the customer). In the end availability, demand, competition, quality of yield and also the mentioned architectural scalability determine together how many products there will be. Certainly this news point to greater availability.
