Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 AoTS benchmark runs leak online

[HEXUS]

Purported mid-market RTX 30 GPU is about 10 or 15 per cent slower than an RTX 3080.

Sooo.... NVidia basically has one GPU that they bin for being a bit slower (3070) and a bit faster (3080)? Seems like this would be the sweet spot, probably runs significantly cooler and less power hungry than the others, with a significant amount of the performance. Anyone want to take bets that they won't meet the demand?

Nvidia follows up the day after with the RTX 3070 eBay hard launch

Fixed that part for you. I highly doubt, considering the rest of the 30xx launch it will be an actual hard launch where you can obtain the FE card for the MRSP.

so all that bought 2080ti, for insane amounts of cash, got reared?

Yes. If people were willing to spend that much for a 2080ti then surely the onus is on them, doubly so if they bought one in the last few months.

Not really, they had two years of that performance level, which is what everyone will be catching up to.

Yes really, because they likely expected their cards resale value not to tank quite so hard, costing them a fair bit more to upgrade. Still, if you are willing to cough up £1200 for a blatantly overpriced GPU, you run that risk.

Yeah exactly, customers knew what they were paying for so if they wanted to pay through the nose for that, fair enough. And if you paid that much recently without waiting for the new cards, well the risk was obviously there. I guess if you based it on how they didn't increase the perf/£ much from the 1000 to 2000 series I can understand perhaps why you might think the value would hold. Either way trust us to find fault with getting a better value generation of cards ey.

Too be fair, you should really only get cards in that price range if you don't mind paying over the odds. The lower ranges are already less price efficient. If you bought it over the last few months then it is bound to sting more, but people have been warning others about the 3000 series being a potentially significant boost since late last year. In the end, everyone does benefit from increased performance. It's not like older GPUs stop working.

Nope they reared themselves at the point of ordering such a stupidly expensive card just like the 3090
