Looks like AMD is waking up:
AMD Radeon RX 6950XT drops to $610 prior to GeForce RTX 4070 launch
Saw a 7900 XT for $780 this morning:
ASRock 7900XT at Newegg for $779
Funny how fast thats dropped way below it's $900 MSRP when everyone kind of thought it should have been an ~$800 card to start with as the 7900XTX was $1k

The one niche use case for the 4070 where it makes sense is people doing brand new itx builds.
Otherwise, I just don’t get paying $599 for that.
The 6950XT right now at $610 is a steal if you’re building a new pc.

RX 6800 now $469 as well. LINK

Meanwhile, hours after the GeForce RTX 4070 launched, there is still no issue of availability. TechPowerUP reports that out of 19 listed models, 9 are still sold at MSRP directly by NVIDIA or through 3rd party sellers. Furthermore, the more expensive models are not necessarily much faster given the NVIDIA strict limit on manual overclocking of RTX 4070 GPU.

I can't remember exactly when, but at some point we had a discussion about upscaling technologies (DLSS/FSR) vs native. I recall trying to encourage the individual to use upscaling, but I was struggling to articulate why. With that said, Hardware Unboxed released a video today doing a deep dive into comparing upscaling technologies against native from a purely visual perspective. While I think the "conclusions" in the individual games are useful, the reason I'm posting it here is that I think the video does an extremely good job showing the types of things to look for when comparing levels of upscaling tech against native. Put another way, graphical issues that one might otherwise just write off as a flaw with the game might be an indication to switch from upscaling to native, or vice versa. Anyway, very good video, in my opinion:
Is DLSS Really "Better Than Native"? - 24 Game Comparison, DLSS 2 vs FSR 2 vs Native

Went ahead and bought a 4070. Only like 60 dollars more than a 6800XT. I'll pay the Nvidia tax.

Any reason you passed on the 6950xt you can currently get for $30-$50 more?

Better raster for far less RT and no dlss(yes fsr, but it's inferior). Hard pass. I got an AIB card for MSRP, btw.
I'll pay the Nvidia tax.
Although, the < 1/3 of full die chaps my arse.

I don’t know that it’s the choice I would have made, but considering your priorities, that makes sense 
Posted on 4/17/23 at 1:43 pm to Joshjrn
Well, ya. Heavy RT is priority atm. RTX remix has came out.
Morrowind at pathtracing level? Yes plz.
Any dx9 games are fair game.
I'll prob frick with cyberpunk a bit as well on the side.

Agreed, you'd have to be ignorant or a really shitty consumer.

6800XT was going for 530ish. So what's that mean for the Nvdia tax?
Posted on 4/17/23 at 4:13 pm to hoojy
I don't care what any other offering is, giving companies money for bad products and pricing is being a bad consumer and making the problem worse.
Do better.
So don't bitch and complain any more when you're the exact type people are talking about.

Explain this. Keep in mind the exact prices from the competitors.

And I'm not even trying to shite on AMD. They do very well in the raster department.
But between DLSS and FSR?

I’ll genuinely never understand why people feel justified in personally insulting people over something so trivial.

Nvidia hinting at a price drop for the 4070 already via $50 rebates to manufacturers which they would expect to pass on to consumer making the base cards $549

Well, that was short lived. Definitely one of the worst Nvidia cards of all time in terms of people wanting it. Nvidia really didnt read the market well enough there. They can get away with gouging the higher and highest end, but you get into that mid-range and mess with people, well, there you go.
