Since this is purely a tech demo, the level artists would manually tune the intensity of the light sources to get the right mood if used in the final game.Honestly, I think I prefer the original. I get that path tracing looks cool, but it completely ruins the mood. Ravenholm is supposed to be dreadful frightful place. It's supposed to be dark and scary. Putting lights everywhere to show off the cool new technology for the sake of technology is not the right way to go about it.
With only 8 GB of VRAM, I don't see this doing well at $450. Particularly if the 4070 sees continued rebates. At $450 this has 74% of the cores for 75% of the cost so there's already little reason to prefer it to a 4070 at the $600 MSRP.
This will likely lose to the 6750 XT in newer titles where 8 GB isn't enough. Maybe even the 6700 XT as well. 3060 has beat far better NVidia cards in similar situations where 8 GB was insufficient.
Hmmmm, WTFtech.com. Let's wait and see what happens. Just saying.NVIDIA Limiting GPU Production Due To Excess Inventory, Could Lead To GeForce RTX 40 Price Cuts If Things Don't Improve
Recent reports citing NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 40 price reduction and limited production may be due to excess inventories.wccftech.com
Who didn't see this coming.
Who here really thinks the current price of video cards is reflective of its real value.
Espeically when games are being launched all broken and buggy as hell, that even a 4090 has trouble running it straight off the port.
2.5 years later, same performance for a 10% price cut. Pathetic. Nvidia need to get real with their pricing.4060ti $450 ~ 3070
Nvidia need to get off their cryptomining high. Those prices were way overinflated, and need to come back down to earth. (Sorry, investors!)NVIDIA Limiting GPU Production Due To Excess Inventory, Could Lead To GeForce RTX 40 Price Cuts If Things Don't Improve

Problem is it has already set new baselines for price that will never go away. Just like crypto did last time in 2018, which let Nvidia move their really low end crap like the 1660 to the $230 price point and put the very lowest part of the midrange (RTX 2060) at $350.Nvidia need to get off their cryptomining high.

Yep. And people are buying enough for NV to just leave the prices as is. Fat profit margins are making up the difference in reduced sales - and investors really like high gross profit margins.Problem is it has already set new baselines for price that will never go away.

Look at the Nvidia share price - it's off the chart right now because of AI. I don't think Nvidia investors (who are the people who own the company) are that worried about desktop right now.Nvidia need to get off their cryptomining high.

Nvidia can still give us more for the same price.Problem is it has already set new baselines for price that will never go away.

NVIDIA to launch GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB this month, 16GB model planned for July - VideoCardz.com
NVIDIA adds more SKUs to RTX 4060 series According to MEGAsizeGPU, who has been a very reliable source in the past, NVIDIA has settled on four new SKUs. Not two but three RTX 4060 models are now on the manufacturer’s roadmap. It appears that NVIDIA listened to the feedback from the gaming...videocardz.com
nVidia may be planning on doing a clamshell 4060 Ti? Let me guess, it'd be $579.
4060 Ti 8GB for the rumored $450, seems like a really bad place to be. Better off making it a 16GB $500
Hardware unboxed said that they got told directly by an AIB that they were testing a 16 GB 3070 and we know for a fact that MSI sold 20 GB 3080's to miners (most likely a test run that they didn't want to let collect dust in their warehouse when they could sell it to miners for big money).I remember a lot of rumors of things like 3070 16GB and 3080 20 GB, that never materialized.
The gap between the 8 and the 16 has to be more than 50 bucks.

So it might have been a very last minute decision to gimp the VRAM on those cards.
