After that Tear-Down -> Why is it being sold for $600? Looks more like a $499 card, you know the 70 series use to compete with the previous generation top cards at, well less than $400!
Or the GTX 970 was underpriced .GTX 970 launched at $329 in Sept 2014, which is $417.19 according to the CPI calculator for March 2023. Seems like the card is vastly overpriced for a 70 series card.
Die size is way smaller, also power delivery is likely a lot cheaper too. If I had to guess the 4070 is either a wash or cheaper than the 3070 to make because it's so efficient. Inflation aside, wages haven't risen that much so it's up to people to decide if they're willing to pay more. Considering the card is widely available post launch, the answer seems to be no. Plus inflation isn't just "my dollar can buy x amount" most of inflation is due to lack of resiliency in the supply chain. Things will normalize eventually, but I don't know if companies will accept deflation. The auto industry isn't expecting a return to normal until 2025, consequences of shutting everything down.

Not at all, Nvidia made a fortune selling them. The 1070, new 16nm node, double the ram sold for $379 and beat the previous top consumer card the 980Ti. Again Nvidia made a fortune. The 4070, 70's name sake fails the previous history or precedent that Nvidia accomplished with their newer cards. The 4070 should be a 4060 class card with 12gb, the 4070Ti and 4070 should have 16gb of ram (the board even has slots for 16gb). Nvidia has gone way beyond inflation. While AMD top sku is at the same price as their previous top sku, the 7900XT I am not sure how that fits in with their lineup from previous generations. The 6800XT still had the same memory bus and VRam of the 6900XTk. Both companies are shooting for higher profit margins it seems beyond what the market can support.Or the GTX 970 was underpriced .
