Nvidia’s new RTX 4070 Ti GPU has offered greater than each AMD’s high-end RDNA Three graphics playing cards mixed, going by some contemporary gross sales stats.

As VideoCardz (opens in new tab) noticed, gross sales figures from German retailer MindFactory had been posted on Twitter by TechEpiphany (who commonly shares statistics from this main outlet), displaying what occurred in week three of 2023.

And it was an enormous win for Nvidia when it comes to current-gen fashions, with the RTX 4070 Ti promoting 545 items. That proved to be greater than the RX 7900 XTX and 7900 XT mixed, which shifted 300 and 200 items respectively (500 whole). Notably, the 4070 Ti was additionally the best-selling single GPU out of all fashions from AMD, Intel and Nvidia.

Whenever you add in RTX 4080 gross sales to Nvidia’s tally – that GPU managed 190 items – you find yourself with 735 items for Group Inexperienced versus 500 items for Group Crimson, a reasonably clear win even with out placing within the whole for the RTX 4090 (which offered 210 items, and that’d push Nvidia to not far off 1,000 Lovelace GPUs offered for the week).

Apparently, the second best-selling graphics card was additionally an Nvidia providing, the RTX 3060, which wasn’t far behind the 4070 Ti and amassed gross sales of 485 items.

In third place was AMD’s prime vendor, the RX 6700 XT, which tallied a formidable 410 items for the week.

What about Intel? Properly, Group Blue was means behind the large two GPU makers, with the Arc A770 and A380 solely racking up 10 items apiece (making them equal 21st with a bunch of different playing cards, lots of them very lengthy within the tooth just like the Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti and the GT 730).

Evaluation: The worth is true – or a minimum of, a bit extra proper than the alternate options?

That is an attention-grabbing snapshot of present GPU gross sales, however we should keep in mind these are figures from a single retailer, so only a small pattern of the general market. So let’s not get carried away, however clearly it’s very attention-grabbing to see the RTX 4070 Ti muscling out the mixed totals of each its RDNA Three rivals.

There are doubtless a few causes for this. Firstly, the RTX 4070 Ti pitched in at its MSRP (really helpful worth) proper out of the gate (reasonably than being inflated). And secondly, that MSRP is extra palatable than some other current-gen graphics card on the market (all of that are higher-end fashions, after all). The RX 7900 XT does come shut at $100 (round £80 / AU$145) extra for the MSRP – really at MindFactory, it’s simply over €30 (round $33 / £26 / AU$47) extra, a minimum of on the time of writing, although the hole could effectively have been wider in the course of the week for which these figures had been compiled.

So seemingly it’s so simple as the truth that if you would like a very highly effective graphics card – keep in mind, the RTX 4070 Ti provides RTX 3090 degree efficiency, with DLSS Three for enhancing supported video games, and decrease energy utilization – that is about nearly as good because it at present will get. You’ll nonetheless pay by means of the nostril for that privilege, however not fairly as a lot as with the opposite current-gen choices on the desk. (And last-gen playing cards stay expensive, too, with even the RTX 3080 solely being 13% cheaper than the 4070 Ti at MindFactory proper now).

The sensible name, for now maybe, is likely to be to attend for the RTX 4070 to indicate itself. This GPU might arrive quickly going by the rumor mill, and maybe we’ll lastly get a glimpse of some correctly reasonably priced pricing with Lovelace (comparatively talking – perhaps we must always name it semi-affordable, maybe, although some hypothesis factors to Nvidia going heavier with the value tag than we wish).
