The first of a new wave of RTX 4070 V2 graphics cards has been spotted and despite having slower memory, they haven't had a discount.

You’re not paying for the discrete parts. You’re not gonna desolder that RAM and use it for something else.

No but I am paying for the accumulation of those parts no? Otherwise I’m not buying hardware.

And we know shoe on the other foot, if there was no performance increase, but a fancy marketing label, they’d be all over increasing the price for it.

You’re paying for the overall performance of the product, not for specs of each discrete component by itself.

Yes, you also pay for whatever they decide is relevant to marketing.

How is buying hardware based on specs not doing both?

To that end, that’s like saying apple doesn’t need to offer higher base specs on things like ssds and internal storage because the performance is the same.

Correct, there would be no reason for them to purposefully overspec their parts.

So then why wouldn’t I expect a discount on this v2 card?

Because you’re paying for the card as a whole, not discrete components.

Except your buying both….

No, you’re not purchasing discrete components for use as discrete components.
