That all being said, no gpu over $450 should have only 12gb of vram in 2025. The fact the 5070 only has 12gb is yet another example of nvidia's anti-consumer planned obsolescence. You'll likely need to turn down settings at 1440p or higher in order to remain within this cards vram buffer, and high end raytracing is unattainable. Please keep in mind that nvidia's "multi frame generation" is a relatively niche frame smoothing technology, it doesn't improve performance and actually increases latency. MFG's 4x mode is really only viable if you have at minimum a 240z monitor, and 3x mode isn't viable without at minimum a 180hz monitor.

Modern monetary theorists run the world and their default policy is to inflate because inflation benefits the rich. Privatize the gains and socialize the losses.
Dare I say this is quite the good deal here in this environment. Going forward $500-800 is going to be midrange to upper midrange, and generally $800 and up (probably more like $1000) will be the range of 4K/60 or higher gaming, with $1500+ being 4K/120+ territory. It is what it is. Demand for wafers is high and TSMC dominates the market. The top 10% have a lot of liquidity from monetary policy and have no problem throwing around thousands of dollars on their hobbies. It's not "corporate greed" when there are willing buyers, it's supply and demand. Blame your peers for "overpaying."
For MSRP this is still a good deal. With DLSS and multi frame generation it's pretty good for smooth gaming. But if you can find 5070TI for MSRP it's a better deal.

This is a pretty decent deal considering the current state of the market. The only downside being this is a 2 fan card. I suppose that would be a good thing for a SFF build.
