Yes, which is far too much in my book. I would love to find out what the margin is on those cards, I bet it's very high indeed!
Nvidia has an insatiable appetite for milking its customers. They have been incrementally moving the goalposts, in absence of competition in the higher segment, so much that the flagship now costs $1200. And apparently people are buying that card in droves. When the manufacturing cost for that card hardly exceeds $600 range. Consumers are shooting themselves in the foot without realizing it.
I hope the consoles do have a effect on the market, if the ps5/Xbox 2 can do 4k60 even at high details for under £500 that would be a good overall system. Xbox one x is already doing 4k30 so it's not unimaginable to expectThe next two years are going to be very interesting indeed. If AMD can't or won't bring the fight to Nvidia at the high-end, then how far will prices continue to rise? What effect will the new consoles have on the market? It can't go on like this forever, something has to give.
It will certainly be possible. But let’s be honest a lot of devs will want to eek out better graphics and still target 30fps to get there. What would be good is providing a 60fps option at reduced graphical details.I hope the consoles do have a effect on the market, if the ps5/Xbox 2 can do 4k60 even at high details for under £500 that would be a good overall system.

This is true but my main point here is that he has gone from paying 700$ each generation to 1200$ without seemingly realizing it.
Strange, how my bank account balance only reduced by $700
Well of course its holding up well, its a flagship card and only one generation old. I am expecting at least 3 more years minimum out of my 1080ti.
Me too. The gigabyte black one from here. It was that or a 2080 for nearly £100 more. I am happy with my choice and should last me at least till we get a 7nm NV card (2180ti or what ever they call it) or an AMD equivalent if it does proper raytracing.I got one last year in October for £579, I am hoping it lasts me for another 2 years.
NVidia are asking a fair price for what you are getting with the Turing cards as they use huge chunks of silicon which will have quite poor yields.
The problem with Turing is lots of people don't want or need Ray Tracing and the other new features.
Turing pricing is not a scam, it is the result of NVidia trying to produce a product that really should only have seen the light of day on 7nm or better.
A huge chunk of silicon indeed. Nvidia could have dropped RTX and turning would have been smaller (around 40% as I recall), cheaper to manufacture andcheaper to buy.... who am I kidding, this is nVidia we are talking about - it wouldn't have been any cheaper to buy. Anyway, the point is given the state of RTX and the cost of the silicon to run RTX, nVidia had the option to not bundle it and not pass those costs on to the consumer. They didn't do that, instead consumers got to pay a 'fair price' for a big lump of silicon that, in the minds of all those people who aren't interested in RTX , is a complete waste of transistors. Hmm.
Yeah I think that sums it up right there. Very efficient, very fast but oddly constricted by the decision to push RTX on 12nmI think Turing is NVidia's best and worst GPU line ever.
