| JEMC said: Ok, the video going private is... something. In any case, my opinion still remains. The thing with Nvidia is that they like to not only win, but dominate. They will do everything they can to squeesh its competitior and leave nothing for them. They may very well price their 5090 at $2000, but what happened with the 4080, they'll price that to $1000 to leave enough gap between them to deter some people from going up like last gen. After all, they care about having the crown and have the top charter GPU in every possible review, but they'll be happy to sell less of those in favor of the 5080 so they can use the better chips for AI GPUs that give them far more money. What I'm not sure about is what will they do with the 5070 and lower cards. Will they try to keep prices as with the 4000 series or will they lower them to fight with AMD and Intel? We'll see. |
I err on the side of them being overpriced. My viewpoint is based on consumers more than Nvidia. I wouldn't wish the RTX 3050 8GB on my worse enemy and that card outsold the RX 6600 several times over as much as 10 to 1. Not only has the 6600 been the cheaper card, it's 26% faster on average. Raytracing at this class of video card is a non issue because the 3050 is not good at it either. When consumers starting buying the best option and not blindiy buying Nvidia, pricing will get better.
