Nvidia's RTX 4070 price slashed due to AMD rivalry | ENBLE
Do you feel that? It seems like Nvidia is feeling the heat from AMD. In a surprising move, the popular RTX 4070 is now available for $50 less than its original price of $600. Why the sudden drop? Well, it looks like Nvidia is trying to keep up with AMD’s recently released RX 7800 XT. Talk about some serious competition!
You can now find the RTX 4070 models in stock at various retailers like Newegg and Amazon. This price adjustment comes just shortly after AMD launched their $500 RX 7800 XT, which incidentally beats the RTX 4070 in a head-to-head showdown. In response, Nvidia also dropped the prices on their RTX 4060 Ti 16GB, bringing it down from $500 to a more affordable $450.
Now, let me clarify something. This price reduction is not an official move from Nvidia itself. Instead, it’s the retailers who are trying to clear out their inventory by offering these discounts. So, not all RTX 4070s have seen a price drop. Some are still selling at $600 or even higher. However, there are enough models in stock that you can grab for $550 if you act fast.
Here are a few models that we spotted on Amazon and Newegg:
- Model A
- Model B
- Model C
- Model D
Meanwhile, the AMD RX 7800 XT has been flying off the shelves. Most models are either sold out or back-ordered at retailers. It’s quite reminiscent of the graphics card shortages we experienced in the past couple of years. In fact, there are even scalpers selling RX 7800 XT models on eBay for a whopping $700 to $800. Can you believe it?
But here’s an interesting twist. It seems like Nvidia’s price adjustments are specifically aimed at countering AMD’s new GPUs. The RTX 4070 Ti, priced at $800, hasn’t seen a price drop. This is surprising given that AMD’s RX 7900 XT is now available for the same price, and it’s actually a faster card overall. Competition, my friends, competition!
Let’s hope this rivalry between Nvidia and AMD can actually benefit consumers in the long run. Gamers have had a tough time this generation, with both companies significantly increasing the prices of their graphics cards. It’s about time we see some relief in the GPU market.
Now, let me just make it clear once again. There’s a chance that the RTX 4070 might go back up in price. This price drop isn’t officially authorized by Nvidia, but it’s certainly a sign that gamers haven’t been buying enough cards at their original price. So, there’s a good chance the price cuts will stick. Fingers crossed!
