This week Nvidia launched the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti. Under normal conditions, a disappointing graphics card that offers far too little additional performance in view of the additional consumption and surcharge. In times of global chip shortage, the graphics card will still sell like sliced bread.
The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti (test) is a mini upgrade that will only work in 2021 The performance of the graphics card is only 5 to 7 percent higher than with the GeForce RTX 3070 (test), depending on the resolution, but the graphics card costs around 20 percent more and treats itself to 70 watts more in games, which is a surcharge of over 30 Percent equals. In terms of performance per watt, Nvidia almost falls back to the old Turing level. The GeForce RTX 3070 delivers 25 percent more FPS per watt.
The market allows this graphics card
The new model, which is therefore not recommended, would have a hard time on the market under regular conditions. But in times of global semiconductor scarcity and the greed of many mining operators, who have recently been prevented from buying with a throttle, the market also allows disappointing products, according to the motto: Anyway, what is available is bought Price hardly plays a role anymore.
In the price comparison, the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti cost more than double what one would normally expect. Apart from the Founders Edition from Nvidia, which was no longer available at the start, non-binding price recommendations have not been given by partners for a long time because they have nothing to do with the development on the market anyway.
Tower for Ryzen 5000 and GeForce RTX 3000
This crazy price spiral means that complete systems like the Corsair One a200 with AMD Ryzen 9 5900X and GeForce RTX 3080 in June 2021 are nowhere near as aloof as they did a year before, although the PC system costs just over 4,000 euros. The test of the Corsair One a200 made it to place two of the most read articles behind the test of the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti this week.

TXT file with billions of passwords
Among the daily news, a TXT file with 8.4 billion passwords compiled by hackers caused a sensation. This file, which is around 100 gigabytes in size, has appeared in the relevant scene forums for hackers. The hacker himself christened his huge TXT document, based on the data leak “RockYou” from 2009, with the name “RockYou2021”.
Whether one of the own passwords in the hack can be found on platforms such as “Have I been pwned?” There the API can be addressed directly and using the first five characters of the SHA-1 hash to find possible hits.
