| JEMC said: I'm having a hard time believing this. Nvidia tried to sell the 4080 for $1200 and it failed miserably, that's why the Super revision was priced at $1000. Mind you, the 4090 was "only" three hundred more and so it made sense to spend a bit more and get a lot more, but the reality is that is you canb afford to spend that much money on a GPU, you can spend a bit more and get the better model, the 5090. So yeah, I seriously doubt it. But, you know, never say never, given that this time around there is no competition from AMD, Nvidia may have gone cocky and it's trying it again. |
Apparently Nvidia/AMD are "scrambling" due to the approaching onset of the Trump tariffs, so that has me thinking; either both of them take a hit and try making them cheaper at entry price, and release revised models at a more expensive price once the tariffs are in place, or they launch their entry price at a higher than normal to offset the tariff price increase.
Either way, the customer is going to be paying for it, as well as retailers. I don't see a world anymore where Nvidia will take the hit first over the customer. So I'm fully expecting a price increase to allow them to ride out the new tariffs. Besides, we know Nvidia has it's earned rep, so why would they take a profit loss for rep gain, when they are already so far ahead in terms of mindshare? (From a business perspective that doesn't make sense, even to me).
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
