So? This card wasn't available at MSRP in like forever. Saying that its actual price dropped is correct, but I'm still gonna wait for RTX 4070 instead..

Came here as well to comment that $599 is actual MSRP...

This card has two fans, one on the front and one on the back. Also, this is not a price drop, it's the launch MSRP.

Oh, great. A year old card has reached it's launch MSRP price. What a great deal /S.

No.

The price was already unreasonable at launch. Compared to 3070, it is too high for too little speed increase and much too great TDP increase. I considered the 3070's much greater efficiency to be more attractive. Furthermore, almost 2 years after Ampere launch, the price ought to be below 80% MSRP, i.e., below $479 and one might start considering 3070TI if one does not have my objections to this card.

I agree. My 5700 XT was like half the price three years ago. For the same price, the 3070 Ti might be a reasonable upgrade. For $599, no way.
