The 470 was too expensive and too close to the 480 to make it worthwhile. I can see why they did it too, it's an Nvidia tactic. Make one card suck and the other seem cheap, railroad....
This one though? ooo I tell you what I wouldn't want to be AMD. 1050ti £139 lmao this card is going to be critical.
Still not much. Aftermarket cards and Etailers will hike prices up. They've done that for every card released so far. Either way you look at it, these cheaper versions will costs the same and more than likely still outperform
