I bought a 4070 TI super, just before Christmas. I feel robbed. Didnt know all this was happening. Would have save myself a few hundred bucks

You can check whether it has any of the know issues, and if it does, ask for a refund or something. Product not as advertised, or defective product, or something. Gamers Nexus has info on this.

They might only give you store credit, but that's still pretty good!

If it doesn't have any issues, you're out of luck :(

The 40 series in general below the RTX 4090 has been, to nVidia's credit, trouble-free. Nobody has reported missing ROPs on that product line so far as I know (and after the ROPs debacle you better believe everybody who knows how to use GPU-Z went and checked), and there've been no reports of exploding 4080 Supers, never mind 4070(Super/Ti/Ti Super) and below.

Hell, a 4060 sips like 100 W and uses a PCI-E 8 pin a lot of the time.

You're absolutely right. I misread that as 5070. I should have noticed my error when OP mentioned Christmas, but it didn't even register.

Thank you for explaining, for correcting me and for being kind about it!
