And then they say $1600... and I thought, well, it's a halo product, and it really is a monster. fair enough. Then they did the 4080... and I thought, did I read that wrong? is this a 4070? why the giant performance cliff? Then Jensen says $1200, with that big goofy grin...

    to answer your question: yes, GPUs are currently still extremely overpriced. to give you an example: I bought a GTX 1650 Super 4 years ago for €190. if I look at a 4070 Super, that card is roughly 4 times as fast, but also 4 times as expensive here in Germany, which would be fine if they were from the same generation. they are not. it used to be that 2 generations was enough to get double the performance for the same price. but all Nvidia did was make cards that are twice as fast and twice as expensive, so now the budget segment is completely dead except for trash like the RX 6500 or the RTX 3050. even the 6600 XT has just now finally dropped into the lower 200 range, and that card is years old and already at the point where it will struggle with new games.

    I used to upgrade GPUs every 3 or 4 years and would usually buy an above mid range to below top end performance card, but that all stopped for me when the rtx3000 series cards were released. I never upgraded to them and since then I have picked up 2 consoles for less than what I spend on a single GPU and have a huge backlog of games to play. GPU prices are ridicuolous if you are just gaming. They are not worth the money right now and I don't see it changing in the near future. I am out of the market unless something big comes along to shake things up price and performance wise.

I personally think the work you can do on a PC makes some higher end cards like the 7900XT for example, worth it. 20GB of VRAM can help with a lot of production applications. Still the cheapest on the market if you need 20GB of VRAM or more for certain types of work.

With a PC you have an excuse to buy a GPU and game but that can also be used for video editing which can be beneficial for business, animating, rendering, some scientific applications, and you have a computer to study on for education/school, starting a business, music production, photography ect. You just end being more productive and it's a lot easier to make money with a PC as opposed to a gaming console. If you're not trying to be a pro gamer or just using it as a family entertainment system, it can take up a lot of your time. Just my opinion as someone who's gamed since I played Super Nintendo in the mid 90's.

    there are millions of consumers who can justify that cost, evident by the fact that they buy them. 30-40 years ago one would pay as much or even more. For much less too, and I dont just mean that the obvious technological advancement, but that one would pay so much for simple office tasks, whereas a workstation that can do very advanced calculations (which these gpus can help for) would be much much more expensive. The difference I think is the *casual* demand for *advanced* computers due to games that push the boundaries and use the latest tech.

    Argument about inflation, more performance per dollar etc. Is a fair one, but it's still pure insanity for 70s tier GPU to come at 800-900$ MSRP. 80s tier card goes above 1000$. That is pure carnage. Like, few generations ago that price was reserved for absolute halo products, like Titan cards, and even then sometimes halo products were cheaper. Like, for the price of a single "high-end" gpu, you can almost build an entire mid-tier computer. So how does that even make any sense?

    Nvidia scammed almost everyone into thinking RT is good and needed, and you only get acceptable perf from their top tier cards. They used it to try and justify these new prices multiple gens ago. The entire industry needs a mega crash imho. Record profits near every year, they deserve a good bleeding at this point for their greed. Performance and resolution improvements has stagnated, wih 'oh, shinny refections!' costing you half of your fps or more for a 5% 'improvement' and having to use fake rendering to try and get some of that back, literally scamming you into accepting fake performance that allows them to get away with lowered mem and hardware performance for 'new' cards. AMD aren't much better due to trend chasing, but at least they didn't start this crap and they kinda weren't left with a choice but to follow suit. RT is a scam just like physx was, only this one worked massivly. I'm glad it seems people are finally waking up to the fact that they have been ripped off constantly for years. Shame it took the sheep so long to realise a green wolf has been tearing out their guts for years.

    Buyers have every right to question the price of the 4070. That card is only 25% stronger than the 3070 and yet costs $100 more. Tim, don't try to act like the improvements were even worse before. The 1070 was 47% stronger than the 970. The 2070 was 34% stronger and the 3070 was 37% stronger but at the same price. It offends all people who can count to five and have a better memory than a fish. And if anyone is interested, overall inflation in the US (published by the U.S. Department of Labor) has increased by 30% since 2016. Not almost 100% in just 2 years as Nvidia tried to force us with the RTX 4080. But wait, the price of silicon went up rapidly. No, it didn't. The entire 40 generation uses 50% smaller chips compared to the 30. And the chip costs less than 15% of the total price of the card. So even a possible 100% increase in the price of silicon wafers would make the 4080 only $100 more expensive. And 6GB more VRAM cost less than $10. The only fair price for the 4080/Super is bellow $800. Everything else is just theft. And to be clear, other silicon doesn't follow this logic either. The Core i5-6600K cost $260 in 2016. The latest 14600K is $320. Which is only 23% more and pretty much in line with inflation. Same with AMD. The Ryzen 5 1600 cost $220 in 2017. The Ryzen 5 7600 is now $230. Almost no increase after 6 years. RAM and SSDs are even cheaper than before. DDR4 16GB was $100 in 2016. Now you can get DDR5 32GB for $75. Slow sata SSD 120GB was $50. Now you can get 10x faster NVMe 500GB. How is that even possible? As if there was no inflation at all. By now it should be clear to everyone that Nvidia lives in its own universe where the laws of nature don't exist. And Radeon just follows...

The sad part is... at least for Nvidia, this gen could have been a home run quite easily... they had everything going for them... performance, efficiency, RT, DLSS,... and yet someone in the marketting department and maybe Jensen himself decided to be an AH and mess it up...

    Because of my cost of living but normally a few years ago would have bought me a top of the line GPU at 5 to $600 only gets me a middle of the range card now. Because they think they deserve to ask more for it. There were times when they had a reason to ask more for it. It literally cost more to make them. It does not anymore not newly to the degree that it did when they first started creeping prices up. They are trying to make up for lost sales during the GPU apocalypse at first and then they just went crazy. They want to charge as much as possible now so they are the markups on. These cards are absurd and while I don't think we should still be paying four to $500 for a top of the line card. I certainly don't think it should cost over a thousand. Because guess what? According to the corporate bastards that run this economy that's a good phone. So when I have to start making a choice between essentials singular essentials and a gaming PC component, I'm going to pick the singular essential nine times out of 10 if that's what I need and if it's not, I'm certainly going to be saving up for far more important things and just go for a middle of the road GPU or another low end GPU like I did at the start of GPU apocalypse. My 4 gigabyte 5500 is still kicking enough, but to play baldur's gate comfortably on a PCIe 3.0 configuration. I am not mad at you as a creator or any of your comments but I am very upset with the current state of the market and have been for years now and it's only gotten worse in literally every single factor of life.

    The price question is easily answered by the console prices. A PC that was faster and better than consoles used to cost less than half as much. Now, “mid tier” cards are very expensive, to the point that the benefits vs price pushes average PC gamers out of the market. Thus, the only people who will stick with the market and upgrade are those who have lots of spare money for enthusiast components. Everyone else is priced out of the market for their hobby and don’t consider the cost of participation or upgrades to be worth it. This would *of course* be a different story if costs of living weren’t ballooning and companies would be eager to give us appropriate raises…but as someone who has had a 2.5% raise in 2 years….where exactly am I going to sacrifice for gaming? My margins for fun are shrinking daily and I can’t eat a GPU.

And the vast majority of games still don’t even use RT, so the 7900 XT will be faster. Then consider that it has 20GB of VRAM instead of 12GB. The 7900 XT is a no-brainer over the 4070Ti at $700.

    There were some deals as low as $1500 for the 4080 around or just before the release date of the 4080 Super in Australia, they didn't last long, and then a few more at $1600, but as stock goes it has been creeping back up to $1700 again as the cheapest models.

    That’s just mainly due to VAT. The prices are decreasing in the uk like in the usa. The rx 7900 xt is £689 and the 4070 super is £540. If you looked at the price in the uk of the £540 without the 20% tax then u will get £450 which is $567 so the prices are pretty good. Our high tax rates are just inflating it.

    The rx6800 is currently the best value buy in Germany at 400€ new. The 6700xt and 6750xt are very low stock and also sold for 400€, while the 12GB 7700XT costs 450€. The 7600xt starting at 350€ makes no sense at all. So 210€ for a rx6600, 400€ for the 6800 and 530€ for the 7800xt, the rest is quite terrible value.

    Here in Germany the 4080 super launch didnt change anything. The 4080 stayed at 1200€+ and the super launched mostly around the same price but got up since. There is no reason for AMD to lower prices so I bought a 7900xtx nitro+ for 1086€. 16 gigs on the 4080 will run into problems in 4k in 2-3 years and I dont wanna pay a premium price just to upgrade yet again. If u state RT and DLSS as good arguments for the 4080, consider that with those features enabled, the 4080 becomes a 1440p card with barely noticable features in a handful of games for a premium price though. Absolutely horrible deal.

    Spot in Tim. Regardless of performance, the price tag of these cards (especially NGREEDIA) is just way too high. Stupidly expensive. As for cost of living pressures, yes that’s certainly a factor. We all have far less disposable income for luxury items like AUD$1000+ GPU’s. I would rather that NOBODY bought these items are hope that sends a message to these companies. At AUD$1000, the 4070Ti is barely passable. Should be around AUD$800

    GPU prices are awful over here in the US. Basically any lower end Nvidia GPU worth buying is way overpriced right now, the cheapest new 3060 I can find is $280 and the cheapest 4060 $290. AMD pricing is much better with the RX 6650 able to be found as low as $230, but AMD cards are ass at raytracing compared to Nvidia and Intel, and the 6650 uses alot more power than the 4060. Intel cards have amazing price/performance right now with the a580 at $165 and the a750 for $210, but are still suffering from driver issues and have such high power usage compared to Nvidia and AMD cards that any money you save will be lost in higher electricity bills over a few years.

    Im currently trying to spec out my first PC build, I'm aiming for a reasonably priced mid-range AM5 build with decent all round performance. Here in New Zealand the selection of previous gen GPU's is next to nothing, and the newest gen versions are still pricey. Im on a budget, which doesn't help the situation, especially right now as there aren't any brand new mid-range GPU's out there with a great price to performance ratio. Not to mention AM5 is still expensive to build with at the moment. Im currently shopping around the $650 NZD mark ($400 USD) for a GPU. Around this price range the only options I have are the 4060 and 7600 XT, both of which im not sold on. The 4060 ti 8gb is anywhere from $700 - $850 NZD ($430 - $520 USD), while the 16gb version is $1000 NZD ($610 USD). Meanwhile the 7700 XT is $900 NZD ($550 USD). The 7800 XT is the same price as the 4060 ti 16gb, and is cheaper than the 4070 by $70 NZD ($40 USD). Im now starting to wonder if I should hold off buying at the moment and wait for deals or even possibly the introduction of the new 8000 series AMD GPU's, which I read from somewhere could be out as early as the third quarter of this year.

    Previous gen supply drying up will only mean higher prices for current gen, since they're not competing against themselves any more. We just need to keep not paying these ridiculous prices, let supply build up on shelves, and then prices will come down.

    someone put it nicely in a youtube comment (can't remember the name to credit): RTX 4000: SUPER bad pricing RTX 4000 SUPER: bad pricing This gen pricing is still garbage on both sides. IMO, at least 15-20% is required before I'd consider anything. Last gen pricing is also too high considering we are 10 months away from next gen being available to buy (and are 4y old already). How much more optimisation are you expecting to get if you buy now and pay full retail? The only reasonable place is the used market for a RX6000/RTX3000(but see VRAM issues) if you manage to find a significant discount.

    I just want to mention you would never have heard "buyers are generally happy with the 1000$ price mark" before the crypto & AI craze. It is incredible that average buying power has been dropping for decades, yet graphics cards have been increasing in price seemingly exponentially. It has been going on for years now, when I upgraded from my rx480 to the 5700xt 4 years later, I paid double for double the performance, so basically, no price/performance evolution in 4 years.
