The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 would be around $400 with performance that would be comparable to a GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER, while the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti could be about $500 with performance around that of the GeForce RTX 2080. Hilbert, that makes no sense, does the original article state it that way? Cause if so the RTX 3070 outperforms the RTX 3070 Ti which most probably is wrong

I predict the RTX 3070 Ti will be over 3000 dollars

So only 2/3 of a kidney?! 😀 More seriously, I guess you are right.

Last time checked people were selling their kidneys since the 980Ti came out. And coming with 2, either they grow back on them or harvest them like some countries do............. 🙄

To be honest, I only was made aware of organ trafficing and trading for GPUs since the 2080TI. I guess that magical transition from 3 digit numbers to 4 digit numbers did that... I wonder who needs all those kidneys?! 😀

The problem with PC gaming right now is this whole PCMR BS we have, basically most PC gamers today are hoping that PC parts price will go down with the release of "powerful" "~cheap~" NG console but at the same time none of them will ever consider buying those console because they're for peasants, PCMR blabla.. In the end Nvidia and all the Asus of the world know it too well, they will add a few buzz word to their marketing, add a few RGB, and BAAM magically the price of their latest and greatest is higher than last gen while giving you less improvement... I really miss the old days before all this over-marketing mess, before RGB everywhere, before gaming chair, before even steam, a time when most PC gamers knew what was "the Sorcerer place" or " no mutant allowed" and PC game where sold in those big cardboard box...

TalentX:

No, and I didn't intend to achieve that either. It was just some irony joke, because even so you have alle the connections etc. the whole thing, even the way how it is shared let alone the lack of not even calling out the existence of sources or the reasoning of that "guess", is just absolutely ridiculous. But hey, that's just my opinion.

Even if you did have sources, you couldn't name them, unless you didn't care about what happens to them. If someone inside Nvidia (or any of these companies) leaks real info, they are sitting on a shaky chair. On the other hand, tech sites (relatively) easily repost these rumours because they have to judge between losing readers to competing sites and staying somewhat reliable. If you never post these so called leaks, it also means you'd miss the rare real ones. It also means the visitors can't so easily comment and speculate on the stuff anywhere.

If this is true it's not that bad since the current 2070S is north of $500 so give or take the same price. The big thing now is the pricing of the lower cards that's getting closer to the "enthusiast" price.

Seems like absolute bollocks, the 3070 alone will most likely be at 2080 TI performance level. If not RDNA 2 cards will steamroll the mid-range and possibly even more.

ITGuru:

I so miss the days when 300 USD could get you a top of the line Nvidia Gtx 8800 Ultra card. I had two of them in SLI, and they were full proof for another 6 years, amazing card and a bloody good price.

The 8800 Ultra MSRPd for $830, $230 more than the 8800 non-ultra and was only like 5% faster.

If this is true, my 1080ti might not need to be replaced. Still need to spend $500 to have an equivalent performance to a $700 GPU from 2 generations ago? Whatever happened to mid range at $300-$400?

ITGuru:

I just had a look, 500 usd at launch in US, in Canada they were 800.

Not only will NVIDIA's new part offer higher performance than the current leader, but it will introduce a new price point in the consumer graphics market moving well beyond the current $600 - $650 set by the 8800 GTX, skipping over the $700 mark to a new high of $830. That's right, this new high end graphics card will be priced $230 higher than the current performance leader. With such a big leap in price, we had hoped to see a proportional leap in performance. Unfortunately, for the 38% increase in price, we only get a ~10% increase in core and shader clock speeds, and a 20% increase in memory clock.

In fact it was originally $1000 - https://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/nvidia-geforce-8800-ultra-review,1.html @Hilbert Hagedoorn Throwback

Pricing. Initially NVIDIA set this product at a 999 USD price point, which well honestly I think my pants dropped when I heard that the first time. In the latest presentation the Ultra was priced 829 USD.

https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/evga-8800-ultra.223464/ But you can definitely find lots of people paying $800+ for it when it launched in May throughout Julyish, shortly after that though the price dropped massively due to the 8800GT being $250 and only 10-15% slower.

I often buy compulsively. It's really not as hard to resist the pricing and diminishing returns anymore. RE: 8800GT 512mb - That was possibly the most epic GPU purchase I ever made. Mine cost $290 but it felt like a $700 performing card at the time.

Call me an optimist but I think prices and performance will be very reasonable with Ampere.

Not sure how I feel about the Ti name being used more freely, I have a feeling that the "3080Ti" won't be the equivalent performance wise to 980Ti/1080Ti/2080Ti, but that they will reserve that for a 3090Ti or maybe a 3080TiTi, that they will release at a later date. Man will I be pissed if I fall intro a trap like that... 😳

Legacy-ZA:

But But... The prices are only as high due to the miner craze. Next excuse for a $500 midrange GPU, please?

It's business. If people will buy them for that price there is no excuse needed. They only need an excuse when people do not buy them.

KissSh0t:

I don't think so but I wouldn't be surprised to see a 3080Ti at 2000.

Not to mention inflation... lots of people forget about it. $829 in 2007 is about $1025 today

FrostNixon:

So 3070Ti is 500 which would bring the others to 700 and 900 the very least.

that could put the 3080 at $599 or $699 with the TI variant (if there is one) at $799 or $899 and the 3090 and its TI variant at $999 and $1099

I don't agree with this. As a the person running a tech site platform you can choose whether posting quality content or non-quality content. In fact, in my opinion, you'd rather lose readers posting non-quality content - specifically those who prefer quality content. Now I get it, judging over that point is something that isn't done easily. However, if you have a topic that clearly is based on a statement that has absolutely no valid content - whilst speaking specifically in terms of this newspost shared here today, which is even missing any form of reasoning and/or clarification to validate that statement at all - That is absolutely different from a leak that was shared somewhere with potential valid reasons, so it is not hard to choose whether denying or accepting this news. Because it is what it is: nonsense and waste of time. There is absolutely nothing legit about it. It's literally someone unknown sharing something absolutely non-reasonable (trashtalk truly) in a platform like TWITTER. Seriously!? Yet we're here debating about it. It's like someone saying "Super Mario game is garbage." That someone without even explaining why. Just the statement. Nothing more, nothing less. How much would you care about something like that? I personally would rather ignore it, because there is no reason to not do so, just as much as that someone choose not to provide the reason. Let me quote Hilbert:

Meh, I was hesitating to post this news. As most if this is unsubstantiated guesswork and thus chatter and rumours. The level of leaks on Twitter should be dealt with caution.

You can clearly see, even he had trouble making the choice of posting this article, because he clearly would have preferred not to, because he clearly understood how nonsense this article actually is. Yet he did it nevertheless due to something that gave him the reason to do so, whatever it was, only he knows. I am not going to judge over that anyway, however, he at least did mention to take this news with caution for a reason. This time even different than the usual when he shares info about rumors or leaks that potentially might be legit. Edit: Besides, as a journalist, it is also a responsibility to make a validation of the feed you share. That includes to research about it, before posting it. Not doing so, because you just repost what other platforms did post, is not responsible. Wouldn't you agree on that?
