RDNA2 GPU's, New Consoles, Zen3. AMD are going to be using a ton of 7nm

this is good news imho as in theory it means better scaling in production volumes, supply is one of the root causes of pricing issues for consumers

Unfortunately for consumers, this does not apply to Nvidia.
In what way does it not apply? The theory sure does.
Soldato
Have you not seen what Nvidia are charging for GPU's?
My point is that they will hike prices to the max, regardless of supply constraints or not.
+1, Nvidia are certainly going to squeeze us until the pips squeak, they don't know pity or remorse and they absolutely will not stop.

Lol. Some even like it!They don't need lube, we let em in dry, i thought everyone knew that
OMG DLSS is the bestest, better than native, I don’t see no FXAA!
Just joking Grim

But surely Nvidia are not immune to market conditions.
They are only able to squeeze us 'until the pips squeak' because they have no competition at this tie or the market conditions allow them to do so.
Why are we all buying their over priced products then?

Clearly not everyone is buying them as sales have been on a downward trend.
I would never buy something that over priced
I only paid £1000 for my Nvidia GPU
Wait a minute !!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is why I am hoping new consoles will play a role in keeping Nvidia honest. Also if big Navi can actually throw it's weight around that will bring back some much needed competition at the high end.
Soldato
Nvidia didn't get any of my money for Turing.
Soldato
Yes, but enough people did for Nvidia not to feel the need to lower prices.
If there where any market pressure or sales weren't good, we would have seen better prices.
Unless the R&D on the cards was so high they actually couldn't afford to sell them cheaper.
Which could bode well for the 3000 series.
We aren't 'all' buying them. I did buy and sell Titan XP's in a daft double quick moment but two 980TIs and two 1080TIs were all stellar performers at 'reasonable' (in a historic way) prices. Obviously they were expensive but competitive with the competition. Then AMD, just like Elvis, left the building. Seems AMD are prepared to go back on stage with some new songs.
