Slightly cheaper now, anyone who paid the previous price of $1099 can request to cancel the order and re-order or don't it's up to you :)
I know what you guys are going to say, the 4070 Super is here and the 4070 Ti Super is around the corner.
But given that the 4070 Super is or was $1036.67 at its lowest AND 5 to 10% slower than the Ti, this price is a rather decent deal.
Sure, you can wait and hope that retailers are going to try their best to get rid of a discounted product, but for those who want something slightly better than 4070 Super, I don't see why not.
Here are some things to consider:
@ $1099 it is around $725 USD which is similar to the price of the card in the US market (note that they have after-sales tax). It is now $1069
The 12-game average according to Techspot between the 4070 Ti and 4070 Super is 112FPS and 105FPS respectively. Divide this by whatever price you find for each card, you can calculate the frame per cost
Give it enough time, 4070 Supers are likely to move towards sub-$1000 which would make it a better-valued card. I highly doubt 4070s will ever reach its US MSRP of USD$599 or AUD$900 (maybe towards the end of the current gen cycle) as we will always have to pay for the Australian premium (GST, ACL, logistics, etc.)
This is currently the cheapest 4070 Ti you can find atm in the Australian market. Feel free to prove me wrong.
