Nvidia's new RTX 4070 Ti GPU outsold both of AMD's high-end RDNA 3 graphics cards combined, according to new sales statistics.
As VideoCardz discovered (opens in a new tab), sales figures for German retailer MindFactory were posted on Twitter by TechEpiphany (which regularly shares statistics for this essential medium), showing what happened over the course of the third week of two thousand twenty-three.
And it was a huge win for Nvidia in terms of current-gen models, with the RTX 4070 Ti selling 4070 units. This turned out to be more than the RX XNUMX XTX and XNUMX XT combined, which moved XNUMX and XNUMX units respectively (XNUMX in total). Notably, the XNUMX Ti was also the best-selling single GPU among all models from AMD, Intel, and Nvidia.

When you add RTX sales XNUMX to Nvidia's tally, that GPU managed XNUMX units, ending up with XNUMX units for Team Green vs. XNUMX units for Team Red, a pretty clear win even without putting in the RTX total. XNUMX (which sold XNUMX units, and that would push Nvidia to close to XNUMX Lovelace GPUs sold for the week).
Interestingly, the second best selling graphics card was also an Nvidia offering, the RTX 4070, which was not far behind the XNUMX Ti and racked up sales of XNUMX units.
In third place was AMD's best-selling product, the RX XNUMX XT, which totaled an incredible XNUMX units for the week.
What about Intel? Well, Team Blue was way behind the two big GPU manufacturers, with the Arc A770 and A380 amassing just ten units each (which puts them at twenty-one as well as a bunch of other cards, many of which are very long). like the Nvidia GTX). one thousand and fifty Ti and the GT seven hundred and thirty).
Analysis: Is the cost fair, or at least somewhat fairer than alternative options?
This is an interesting snapshot of current GPU sales, but we must remember that these are figures from a single retailer, so they are only a small sample of the overall market. So let's not get carried away, but it's certainly interesting to see the RTX 4070 Ti strengthen the combined totals of its two RDNA 3 contenders.
There are probably two reasons for this. First, the RTX 4070 Ti committed to its MSRP (recommended retail price) from the start (instead of being inflated). And second, that MSRP is more desirable than any other current generation graphics card (all high-end models, naturally). The RX XNUMX XT is about $XNUMX (around $XNUMX / AU$XNUMX) more per MSRP; In fact, at MindFactory it costs a little over $XNUMX (around $XNUMX / $XNUMX / AU$XNUMX) on top of that, at least at the time of writing, though the gap may have been higher in the week for which these amounts were compiled.
On the surface, it's as simple as wanting a truly powerful graphics card. Remember, the RTX 4070 Ti offers RTX 3-level performance, with DLSS 4070 to power supported games and reduce power consumption. That's the best there is right now. You're still going to pay through the nose for this privilege, but not as much as with the other current-gen options on the table. (And next-gen cards are still expensive, too, even the RTX XNUMX is only XNUMX% cheaper than the XNUMX Ti at MindFactory right now.)
The smart resolution, for now, might be to wait for the RTX 4070 to show up. This GPU could be rumored to be coming soon, and maybe we can finally glimpse a suitably affordable price point with the Lovelace (relatively speaking, maybe we should call it semi-affordable, perhaps, though some speculation is that Nvidia is getting heavier with cost than we'd like).
