Calm down Jensen. The new leather jacket is in the bag; we both know this.God forbid the owners of a company benefit from the business the company does...
You assume all shareholders just want money money money now now now! Nonsense, shareholders are often more than willing to take a short term hit for longer term gains, my gold mining stocks are a testament to that! Many companies begin projects that won't see a penny of returns for decades, nuclear power plants for example.
And no shareholder wants to see their company lose their customers. The 3090 is a halo, ultra-high-end product for people to show off with and enjoy the performance that the rest of us will only be able to afford a couple of years down the line, price starts to become irrelevant at a certain point. It's the mid-range high volume products where the shareholder money is made, and judging from the Steam Hardware Survey nVidia have been doing a sterling job for their customers, and as a result their shareholders, in the last few years.
Seriously stop whinging the lot of you. Yes we're not getting the +50% performance every 6 months like we used to get back in the day, but computer hardware has obviously reached the point of diminishing returns and those days won't be coming back.
Not like they are starving under current margins either. They hit 40% margins on the 2000 series.
I concur, bought my 470 for £250 brand new from OcUK i recall. When the xx70 cards went up to 350 i felt a bit annoyed and even worse with Turing. I would be devastated if the new price is 500 for a xx70 card they cannot be going constantly up in price jeez.It's only been one generation of rip-off pricing from Nvidia, please don't say you are conditioned by that yet?
The 1070 partner cards were releasing for under £350 in 2016, allowing inflation etc it should be no more than £400. But Nvidias net profit margin has over doubled in that time, so I guess consumers are concerned with protecting that for Nvidia.
I wouldn't class myself as rich, I just save for my techie interests.
Yeah but if you've got a xx70 you can't typically "upgrade" to an xx60, and so on and so on.
And when you've reached the bottom of the stack, then you start having to pay whatever the asking price is for an upgrade.But won't she ask why you're screaming obscenities at your laptop??
