Reports Point to Price Hiking of MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Ti "MSRP" Cards

[Rightness_1]

They are already not worth the original $750 price, but $900+ forget it.

I really don't understand this.
WHY do people buy those overly overpriced cards anyways?? Surely no game is worth investing more than 700$ for a video card that can not even play at native resolution with more than 60fps the latest games.
This is so ridiculous on so many levels....

Is the US's new import tariff calculated into MSRP? I can see 5070 Ti listings for as low as £799 on this side of the pond, which is really not bad.

Although, true that even the Ventus, which should be a base model is £859, so there's definitely something fishy over at MSi.

Of course people are going to point at AMD. The only one who is responsible for AMD being in the position it is currently in is AMD, and if they still can't either gain or maintain marketshare while everybody else is out to lunch, that is absolutely, 100% their fault.

If AMD wants market share, it should deliver a compelling product at a compelling price. Consumers are not obligated to buy their products, and those consumers are currently on NVIDIA hardware - convincing AMD's whole 10% of the market that the 9070 is a good deal isn't the objective here. It's giving the other 90% a deal they can't say "no" to.

Here's a thought, by the way: maybe if you don't try and just go with the flow, you shouldn't be mad when you lose marketshare due to your lack of effort? Just a saying.

You don't seem to know how people think. There's always an excuse not to buy AMD. I personally know several people who wouldn't have an AMD card even if it was free (not to disagree with you - your point is equally valid).

When the customer pays the asking price than the price was the right one. Regardless of the manufacturing costs. The card could be even worth 1200 US dolla when someone pays it.

Gone for now, but not forever. Don't worry

Would love if drop-in upgrades were still pretty affordable. We simply don't live in that era anymore though.

Probably? Or its done after, either of the two. I haven't checked pries personally but tariff's shouldn't be making the price jump as extreme as they are.

MSI being MSI, kinda just used to them being shady.

I also agree with his point; but yea, I know a guy who despite being value orientated and willing to compromise RT and DLSS, refuses to buy AMD, because of 'major driver issues' AMD had how many years ago that haven't effected their last 3 / 4 generations of graphics cards.

#30 regarding amd:

AMD has driver issues wiht my 7800XT / previous 6800 non xt / previous 6600XT in windows 10 pro - now 11 pro 24h2. That'S a fact.
I have no idea if gaming in gnu linux is better because I do not do that. I have no idea about the driver quality of intel graphic cards.
I do know that the MSI ... 960 GTX 4GB card which I purchased second hand in 2023 and used for a few months in windows had initialisation issues with windows 10 pro. Every cold boot needed several seconds extra because the display was initialised twice. Does not happen in gnu gentoo linux in 2023. That was one major reason why i did not buy nvidia card. A card which is in the current latest drivers should not do that with new purchasable mainbard, cpu, dram, nvme, operating system, ....
I can not change the fan speed of my powercolor 7800xt hellhound graphic card in gnu gentoo linux. Last time i tried was 3 months ago. I tried it several times since i owned that hardware.

AMD does not fix bugs on the windows platform. Some issues i see for years already. AMD gpu driver downgrade because of issues should not happen in 2025 or late nov / dec 2024 in windows 11 pro.

You never know when someone makes a statement in the internet if he has an amd graphic card of the latest generation + uses windows + uses latest windows + games on windows + .... other important factors. Or if they just claim amd grahic card does this or that without using an amd graphic card.

All I'm saying is, I don't see those extreme price jumps over here. Sure, the situation isn't perfect, but it isn't nearly as bad as it is in the US.

It wouldn't surprise me.

AMD and Intel does well on Linux, in my experience. Haven't changed anything from stock, though.

And so has Nvidia. That’s also a fact. What’s your point? Oh right, you will say Nvidia doesn’t have driver issues AT ALL because if you agree that Nvidia has some driver issues, you now have to say how fewer. And that gets too complicated than spreading a myth. Or maybe your facts are not so factual:

They just did some price updates like 5min ago.

For example the 2800 (2799) USD 5090 suprim liquid is now:

Iv been watching the prices myself and noticed this jump. Maybe its them prepping for card arrivals? A few other cards got to inherit the old $2800 price tag.

IIRC they got push back and shit for doing this with the 4 series as well.
