The interesting part to me was that Nvidia claim the new 5070 will have 4090 level performance for a much lower price ($549). Less memory however.

If that holds up in the benchmarks, this is a nice jump for a generation. I agree with others that more memory would've been nice, but it's clear Nvidia are trying to segment their SKUs into AI and non-AI models and using RAM to do it.

That might not be such a bad outcome if it means gamers can actually buy GPUs without them being instantly bought by robots like the peak crypto mining era.
