MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Ti VENTUS 3X OC 12GB GDDR6X GAMING X TRIO - £629.99 @ Amazon

I think I know what is happening. Their systems are price matching it with 4070 prices from other retailers. At ebuyer , the 4070 (NON Ti) dropped to £599, hence the incorrect Amazon price.

Hmm this or a used 3090.

Gaming X Trio seems to be available again, just managed to nab one!

Would this be a worthy upgrade from 3080Ti??? (edited)

anyone know when the Diablo 4 key should be delivered and can this be activated straight away or after game released in June?

And it's gone again.
BTW, here's my story short.
Someone wanted to scam amazon and bought few 4080s from amazon and sold them cheap on ebay.

I was one of these people who bought them on ebay, but I felt it was too cheap to be true, so I video recorded whole process of unboxing all the way from opening the doors for the courier in one take.
I glad I did, as the gfx was fake! It was cooler only with detached board!

Now, I don't know if the ebay seller was a scammer or was he scammed on the way from the amazon, but you make sure you take your evidence just in case.

Also, it was an MSI model....and I got my money back, but also I was permanent banned of eBay for some reason despite all provided evidence.

How do I know it was a gfx from amazon in the first place? Because seller showed me a receipt for 2 4080s from amazon and tried to blame me for cheating.

Anyway, just make sure you take your evidence guys just in case:) (edited)

Ventus in stock now!! Just got one.

I'm more interested why you were all up at 4 am.

The Gaming Trio is back in stock, so be quick if you want one.

what processor would you recommend for a budget pc so the power of this GPU is not wasted, 5600G or stronger?

my Ventus card was dispatched today. Received only the 3 month xbox perk for 15.99 as of now.

Damn it's gone now, woke up too late . Btw since it's pricing error, wouldn't that mean they would just cancel ur order? That happened to me last time there was a pricing error on amazon.

My ventus dispatched about 12 hours ago thankfully.

Did anyone who ordered the gaming x trio for £630 a couple of days ago receive it yet? My order is due to arrive on the 10th June.

Also are the gpu boxes securely sealed with shrink wrap or tamper tape?

Thanks

Mine arrived today.

One problem is that as soon as I removed the card from the anti static bag, a tiny screw dropped out. Looks like it is used to connect the shroud to the heatsink just under one of the fans. I can see the empty screw hole and the shorud can lift off the heatsink slightly. Not happy about that, might see if I can reattach it, not sure I have a suitable screwdriver.

Everything else physically looks okay on first inspection.

Edit: Also now received an email from Amazon with separate codes for both the 33% off Xbox Game Pass for PC and Diablo IV. (edited)

Amazon… you are a joke! So funny.

Guess what Nvidia is on the edge of releasing? Could it just be the family of pre-supers, with far more VRAM? Cards that make the current 12GB variants look like obsolete junk? Nah- it's just Amazon feeling generous, snigger snigger.

Sigh. We know Nvidia is looking to put the 4080 die in their 4070 range. The new 16GB 4070TI leaps in performance and desirability. The 4070 will be 16 or (unlikely)24 GB, unless as is just as likely the 12GB 4070TI is rebranded as the new 4070 (or just given the old 4070 price- its the same board design after all). Hmmm, didn't that just happen here?

So that's the new 16GB 4070TI, using the 4080 die, at the old 12GB TI price, and the 12GB 4070ti moves into the previous 4070 slot. The old 4070 is presumably heading to 450. Implies a much lower price for the 4060TI- maybe 300ish.

The AMD 7600 is <250, we know. I guess the 4060 is around the same.

Anyhoo, all this implies a decent respin of the RDNA3 GPU chiplet, and AMD's lower chiplet stack performing better than feared. So down come all the GPU prices- don't forget there's a metric tom of RDNA2 and 3000 series cards still in the marketplace to hurt pricing even more.

I've been in tech so long I've witnessed so many highs and lows in CPU, GPU and RAM pricing. This recession is the worst ever when every factor is taken into account. AMD and Nvidia have exhausted every means to keep GPU pricing high. Now they need to sell product into a very cynical buyer's market. They've hurt customer trust thru their rotten greed, and both companies have cheaped out on their die sizes this gen to maximise profits- which has ended up backfiring. This 4070TI should have had 24GB, which would have helped shield scrutiny of its poor performance at launch cost, and assist it to sell far better than it did. Nvidia must be kicking themselves now for their VRAM policy.

£600 happiness

Just got dispatch email!

Finally what seems to be a decent price, nice find thank you! I've ordered one but just wished it was Asus as that's my personal preference but I don't see those being these prices any time soon

what’s the difference Ventus vs Gaming?

Mine has just arrived and seems to be working fine.

Crazy good deal @radical I'll be naming my first kid after you

Excellent posting. Stock dwindling, bought me 2, 1 of each! Cheers, amazing deal 👌

And checking back, the cheaper of the 2 are all now gone, with the more expensive option down to 4 in stock. Best be quick!

And gone! (edited)

Great find, very tempting

Is this worth it in the long run with 12gb vram?

There will be more deals like this
