  Let’s face it, Nvidia doesn’t care if you buy a gaming card or not right now. You can complain, but they can’t hear you over their money counting machines.

  Nvidia is only selling enough gaming cards to keep their market share from falling too low. All the rest of their silicon is allocated towards data center.

    Enough stock to still be in the consumer market but just restrictive enough to encourage predatory pricing. Yay!

  Idk man, as someone who waited for the 5000 series and then didn’t buy them (went with an older model), these articles make me pretty happy. Ngl

    Pulled the trigger on a 4070TI SUPER at MSRP a year ago, thankful I passed on this bullshit instead of waiting for it

  I hope AMD can take a significant market share from NVIDIA while NVIDIA is too busy counting money from the AI bubble

    I agree with Steve - I think if AMD released the 9070 for $500 instead of matching the 5070 at $550, AMD’s market share would probably double. As it is, we’ll just have to see what the market think about $550.

      I don’t actually think that’s true. Not because people wouldn’t want it, but rather because yields are good enough that there won’t actually be many 9070s (which is a cut down and lower clocked die).

  Surprize, surprize, generating artifical frames is just numbers hunting.

  It’s even worse for Europe. Prices start at €800 (~$866), making any talk about ‘MSRP-to-performance-ratio’ absolutely pointless.

  Even the 9070XT was launched recently and after 30ish minutes, prices went from €695 to €924 (~$1,001) in my country.

  Fuck the GPU market.

    US isn’t much better, since Trump thinks he’s “making the economy strong” by further strengthening Chinese tariffs.

    GPU market was cooked in 2020 when crypto and WFH demonstrated that people will pay literally anything to get the latest hardware. Best thing we can all do is vote with our wallets and vote for politicians who will do something about it, instead of making it worse.
