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.(www.pcgamesn.com)

Is there a significant impact on performance? It’s entirely possible that the RAM was overspecced before.

If still expect a discount for worse parts.

This is Nvidia we’re talking about. Lowered prices isn’t a tactic in those scumbags’ wheelhouse

It’s not worse if it doesn’t perform any differently. Besides, you don’t actually know the BOM cost.

If it was overspecced before, then that means it was using parts more expensive than it needed to. Nobody makes RAM that is slower and also more expensive for the same capacity. Logically, this should translate to lowered prices for the GPUs using the cheaper parts.

It’s objectively worse. “Real world performance” might be the same, but I’m paying for performance AND parts.
