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.

I suspected this when the 40-series cards all had a reduced memory bus from their 30-series equivalent. I think nvidia is trying to stretch out their product offering on the low end without lowering prices by gradually reducing the specs of their more popular cards. So, this card likely slots in at the xx60 ti level but at the xx70 price.
The market is what the market is, and this is probably a good deal for a nvida card, but you're not getting what you used to. Its brutal for PC consumers, but absent real competition (neither intel nor amd have a general purpose card...if I want to use my gpu for more than just gaming, nvidia is the only game in town), nvida has no incentive to offer more for less.
AMD could sell 9070XT all day long at $600 and do just fine. IMO it's already a $500 card at a $600 price point - further gouging is just...evil.
If you feel like you "missed out" on this "deal", don't. Sh*t card at this price point.
