Oh why why did I not do economics in High School :coffee:

$150 > $400 in under a year :confused:

5 shares would have paid for my new RTX :cry: >>> lol

Hopefully the RTX3070Ti will be decently priced.
At this point, it is between that and the AMD equivalent for me.
I don't need to own the top tier for simracing.
My GTX1080Ti did a good job but a little more performance will increase the margins for VR.
 
This is making me nervous and the prospect of $1500 usd cards must be making Sony and Microsoft salivate at the thought of all the new ex PC players moving to their next level consoles.
 
Yeah I thought it be a 1500$ card
I just paid 1400$ for my evga ti card
I didn’t think they be cheap cards at all, some evga exotic ones be even more pushing 1800 I imagine.
 
Let's be honest: Who thought a card with 30-40% more performance would cost LESS than a card with 30-40% LESS performance?
Years ago the top-of-the-line NV card was 800€, starting with 2xxx it was 1.400€. It worked for NV. Why? Because we pay.
I guess my One-Monitor-4K-Setup driven by a 1080ti will work well for another GPU generation:)

Yeah exactly and why I never waited :D

Generally speaking, PC's have got cheaper over the years, so we do get much more performance for less money. In 1995 a cheap new PC cost around $1500-2000, which in today's money would be $2500-3000. We do get components like CPU's and RAM a lot cheaper today, but for some reason it doesn't apply for GPU's. If I remember correctly, 980 Ti and 1080 Ti launched at MSRPs of $649 and $699 and both provided a big generational leap in performance. In the 2XXX series things started going south, with prices increasing almost as much as the performance increase, maybe because all the useless ray tracing and other crap added to these cards.

I hope nVidia don't expect huge sales this time around if their prices are comparable to 20 series, although i believe they will be the same and then some. But with the uncertainty of the work force and so many people forced out of work altogether atm thanks to the human malware and the looming "super powerful consoles" and then AMD finally (hopefully) having a competing top end card i think that's going to be a hard sell for them .
If they do stick with $1200 plus top tier cards my 1080Ti will hold on at 5760x1080 for a while longer yet :)

I guess the reasoning is a lot less complicated. Those cards are the fastest money can buy. They are for "enthusiasts" and those people (yes, that's also more or less us, the simracers) don't care about price/performance ratio. Same with CPUs. As long as an intel CPU will be 10% faster for whatever application, they can charge you twice the price of an AMD chip.

They have always done it

In my Pentium 700 I had $2,250AU worth of graphics
TNT2 Ultra 32mb cost $750AU
Voodoo 12MB in SLI @ $750AU each

Later Geforce ( 1) release was same deal
My Geforce 3 came in a wooden box ... $900AU :roflmao:

Same for ATi first 9700 Pro I brought was $700AU+

My Hercules monochrome graphics card was $499 in 1984 which is about $1230 in today’s dollars. It was capable of 720x350.
 
I'm probably going to sell my 2070s and pay the extra for a 3070[insert version here].
If I sell close enough to the release of the new card I should be able to get a good return on the current card to help fund the new one. If I wait too long, the gap in price between cards grows till I'm forking out practically full price for a new card.
