Nvidia pricing is a joke?

not in the uk - launch day pricing was £450+

so , in theory Nv haven't really changed much in regards to its own launch pricing.....other than add £100+ to the price

Fud.
Launch day 680 I bought for 390.
580's were available about 400 too.
480 was crazy though.

huh?

day 1 prices.

You seem to be implying Nvidia has anything to do with the UK prices. I attribute that to your misunderstanding on how this whole industry works.

why are you ignoring the launch day prices? you said they were $499 , I showed that no , they were not in fact $499 at all.

simples.

Yes, your way of thinking is quite simple. But very incorrect in this case.

same for GTX 580 was as you said around £400 and the 680 was around £430 so you got really lucky at £390 (tbh cant remember them that low)

http://hexus.net/tech/news/graphics/36865-nvidia-geforce-gtx-680-launch-day-pricing-availability/

gtx 780 is at least £130 higher

BriT · 26 May 2013 at 16:23

Yeah bought my Zotac 580 for £420 on launch.

lets see some proof then - as I have supplied proof that you are wrong.

Tonester0011 · 26 May 2013 at 16:25

UK prices bare no relevance on lauch prices, 480, 580 and 680 all launched for $499. The 780 for $650.

Wrong about what? That Nvidia has no bearing on the UK launch prices? Or that you don't understand how the whole pricing policy works?

humbug · 26 May 2013 at 16:29

@ Harlequin, it has to be said, your own link has a GTX 480 for £430, that's not £500.

No you didn't you supplied proof that (sa Mr Krugga said) you misunderstand how the industry works.

US prices are recommended by Nvidia (RRP) but set by retailers. UK prices are set by retailers with no input from Nvidia.

again I have supplied proof of day 1 prices , and you haven't? all your doing is posting your opnion of ` I am right and you are wrong` , with nothing to back that up.

It also shows all etailers having them on pre order as well

=Tonester0011]UK prices bare no relevance on launch prices, 480, 580 and 680 all launched for $499. The 780 for $650.

huh? I cant buy a card in the USA - I buy them from the UK , and at launch I have linked the uk launch prices , ergo USA prices have no relevance to this market.

and now you have shown yourself that you have limited understanding how this market works.

Errr you use dollars for comparison as that is what currency shops buy them in.

So I refer you back to your own quote:

Oh dear.

Tonester0011 · 26 May 2013 at 16:38

The cards launched with a RRP of $499...that is the launch price. How is this hard to comprehend? You don't have to live in the US to get that price, that is the price. Whatever extra gets put on from coming to the UK is just that - extra. Be that tax, price gouging blah blah.

USA also has to add tax onto there bill, no different from us.

Why? because I described it correctly and it doesn't tally with your fantasy? ^^

We're not talking about total market share though, AMD will clearly have a lead over Nvidia due to also being in the CPU market...
Check the link i posted ^ shows just over 60% for Nvidia in the discrete market.

But that chart wasn't counting CPU marketshare, so being in the CPU market is irrelevant, it's simply counting graphics chips marketshare.

Intel makes GPUs too, yes, graphics chips, and to say "no no, only discrete" is quite arbitrary, as it's a GPU marketshare chart.

You don't know what you're talking about. Stop trying to educate people on a topic you odn't understand. nVidia sells their chips in USD, and they set their prices in USD.

huh? I cant buy a card in the USA - I buy them from the UK , and at launch I have linked the uk launch prices , ergo USA prices have no relevance to this market.

As above, nVidia set their prices in USD.

UK stores set UK prices based on USD prices, but generally stores are quite happy to price gouge in the UK.

and now you have shown yourself that you have limited understanding how this market works.

Oh lawd, this is too good, you're doing the very think you're accusing everyone else of doing. I don't know whether to laugh or cringe.

I hear circus music in my head whilst I read your recent posts.

It's not arbitrary, when anyone speaks of market share Nvidia vs AMD it's just about discrete cards. Most people know that....? The link i provided showed various market share for different comparison, showing Nvidia, Intel and AMD.
