We might all be pleasantly surprised. If NVidia thought the pricing on the existing 4080, 4070 Ti, and 4070 GPUs was fine, they wouldn’t bother bringing out a refresh. They do this instead of just lowering prices, because they don’t want to create a precedent in buyer’s minds that if they just wait on buying existing cards, prices will come down. Yes, I know, it’s very transparent to us, but not to most consumers. Plus, a refresh creates some marketing buzz.
Now, how much prices (for certain performance tiers) will go down is the big question. How aggressive does NVidia want to be? We’ll see in a month and a half!
And I’m already afraid of seeing the absurd prices + abysmal value Nvidia will come up with.
