Official sales of the RTX 4070 Ti are scheduled for early January, but they can already be found on sale in a Serbian store. True, at a completely absurd price.
This model is made by Gigabyte and includes three coolers and takes up three slots. The price of the model is 172229 RSD, which together with the tax is regarding 1550 dollars. With a 10% discount on cash purchases, the cost is $1,400, well above even the recommended price for the RTX 4080.
The reason for such high prices is that in Serbia there is a duopoly in the machinery market, so that greedy sellers and high import tariffs lead to a significant overestimation of the cost of products. Right there, the RTX 4080 sells for $1,700, while the RTX 4090 can be bought for no less than $2,500. So buying goods in Serbia does not make much sense, especially since you can just as well go to neighboring EU countries and buy there at a much more reasonable price.
In addition to Serbia, the MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Gaming X Trio has also been spotted at retailers in Costa Rica, but the price has not been announced and will be sold from the official launch date.
The RTX 4070 Ti is a stripped-down version of the RTX 4080. It features 7680 CUDA cores (9728 for the RTX 4080) and 12GB of GDDR6X (16 for the 4080).
