I paid 520 for 2x Radeon HD 5850. I bought a GTX 970 for 350. Then I upgraded to a RTX 2070 for 430 which I said would be the highs I would pay for a gpu to then now pay 525 for my 3070. Of course I did pay $425 for a BFG GeForce 6800 GT OC AGP card in the early 2000's.. lol I was holding on to my old p2 400 rig.. haha About 6 months later I bought a GeForce 4 Ti 4200 for my new Socket a Athlon XP 1600+ for only 119 in Walmart of all places.. lol They had it on a discount rack for 145. I took it up to the counter and it rang up for only 119 and I ripped the clerks arm off.. lol It completely murdered my 6800 GT. hahaIf so, why did I buy the mighty Radeon HD 4890 top of the line GPU for only $195 brand new back in summer 2009?
Look, if nvidia says " you pay as much as we wish", you answer: "F**k you, nvidia!" and buy something else for a normal asking price

Does it though? You can just ignore that data. It doesn't necessarily render the rest of the data invalid.The poll poses a trick question - because it does not ask users what to them is a realistic price, but what would they pay for an RTX 4080. To that? 400 USD is a perfectly viable answer, even if NVIDIA actually loses money on selling one.
There has been no x80 card (280, 480, 580, 680, 780, 980, 1080, 2080, 3080) below 500$(499$ some of them).

My GTX 285 was under 500. It was $380 msrp at launch. It was a great card.There has been no x80 card (280, 480, 580, 680, 780, 980, 1080, 2080, 3080) below 500$(499$ some of them).
So all the answers below 500$ should be removed entirely.

Sucks that AMD had that solved with Polaris but abandoned it for Navi.What are you smoking? SLI disappeared because it was a driver-tastic nightmare and relied too heavily on developers. Nvidia didn't drop SLI to charge more for single cards - that's the worst apologist excuse I've ever heard. Are you trolling?

Yes but it released 6+ months later than the original 280 which cost 649$.My GTX 285 was under 500. It was $380 msrp at launch. It was a great card.
A x80 card should perform ~75-90% of the best card of the lineup

I wasn't saying you were wrong. I was just adding that Nvidia has given us some gems in the past after they were caught off guard by AMD. I just hope RDNA3 is the successer we need. lol Has everyone forgotten about the FX cards price vs performance? lol Now that was a shit show. I had a FX 5500 for a short time and it was terrible performance and price wise.Yes but it released 6+ months later than the original 280 which cost 649$.
And I remind you. GTX 280: 649$ in 2008.
Yepper.. lolHi,
Wow 1gb memory just shows back then "in memory lane" nv prices were way worse

The theory that you show about possible ranges and performance tiers are ok but the problem is that this so called "RTX 4080 16GB" leaves a sour taste in one's mouth, and people are very actively refusing to accept it as a normal offer.
