There will always be stupidly priced products for stupid people to gobble up.

Yup, Apple products have been the proof of that for years

Only $4000? How do you like prices of RTX 3090 non Ti here in Croatia? Just divide the price with 7,5 to get price in €.
Too lazy to click and calculate? It's around €4060. Around €3600 if you pay cash. Ti's are nowhere to be found. Not that I would be able to afford it if it was in stores.

3090's are available. If you are interested in buying no matter the price. And they have FREE delivery. What a steal.

Dunno about that, as much as I dislike Apple, it carries several unique selling points and... as time passes by, those are becoming ever more vital to a solid product, somehow. Example: Android's freedom was a guarantee your support would be all over the place. Only recently is that taking a turn for the better, but its still a maze/per model affair. The amount of crap on Play store is infinitely more present than it is on the App Store. Android is different every time you switch brands. And most importantly in this day and age, Apple has a tight handle and policy on data privacy, something Android almost inherently can't safeguard proper without handicapping the whole OS.

Another interesting POV: corporate is all Apple for exactly those reasons. You have just one environment to cater to for all devices your employees have. Its the same sort of success Microsoft is enjoying with its cloud and enterprise services: one size fits all, and in being that, its manageable to work with and keep resilient. It also allows companies to outsource a big part of their security while maintaining a form of control over it. And yes, those services are really, really expensive. Licensing for MS Azure for example... you don't even wanna see those figures, its like a 5 star restaurant menu.

Note how this 3090 really carries none of such USPs. Its just two letters for a percentile gap in performance connected to a massive price increase.

Well then....I guess Futurama was right all along:

 

[TheDeeGee]

Anyone surprised lmao?
Also lol at nVidia's continued tone deafness to keep releasing halo products instead of addressing availability of volume options.

Yeah, where are the goddamn 3060 TI's and 3070's, no one wants a damn 3090 Ti.

Read this the other day. Rumor mill.

Sheeps will love paying that much for it. I would not even pay 1100 usd on it, 1000 usd would be a buy.

Who buys those cards, I don't believe miners are going to get those it'll take years to ROI.

 

[TheoneandonlyMrK]

4K, , Nvidia is turning into the pc version of Apple with these price's.

And to absolutely shove the consumer love up our asses they're on hold, delayed until whenever, likely just got a bid from a mining firm for the whole lot.

 

[cst1992]

This company needs to be sued.

Wait. I take that back. That'll only increase prices further.

toppreise is a price comparison website for goods available to buy in switzerland, i.e. if a german shop ships to switzerland, it include it in the comparison.

My last purchase 2 years ago 175EUR GTX 1070my previous 5 years ago 75EUR for Sapphire R9 280x Toxic Edition. My next purchase in a year or year and half a 200EUR RTX 3080 it might be even this year if the electricity costs stay the same and the ETH difficulty continues to race with that speed. Nothing new just bigger jumps and drops.
It is simple just don't buy them , let them choke on their prices.

I moved last year from Phenom X6 1100T to 5775C just because it was very cheap (and the beefy 128MB L4 cache) and for the games I play (WoT,CS:GO, Dota 2) I seriously don't see any reason or need of a faster system at the moment (yet because I'm and AMD fanboy I'll definetly take some of their offerings with the extra L3 cache mostly because it will be the last platform to be able to run Win 7).See 22 years ago when the game was running at 25FPS at lowest settings, the IE and the pages were taking ages to process , when you search a file and you can leave the PC to scratch while you make yourself a coffee and have a smoke in the mean time , there was reason to get next gen hardware.This days it just doesn't matter if your work is not literraly based on "the more the better" like rendering stuff.

So really why do you all care that much about the hardware this days given the fact that you can spend this amounts of money for way better things.No reason to spend them to play Dirt Rally 2-3-4 when you can get any car for least and go trash it. Or fly on MS Flight Sim when you can actually trip to multiple destinations.

And yet there will still be idiots with too much money who are willing to pay these prices.

Few years ago you got an enthusiast-level PC with premium-level peripherals with that sum and almost no one bought the flagship Titan ones for 1000EUR/USD. And I know there's inflation, huge demand but no supply etc. but these prices are just insane.

Can we let this die? While inflation, certainly did not vanish in the past decade, my system in the specs tap was 965,83€. With inflation, that be somewhere around 1100€ - 1200€ in 2022, depending on whose numbers you choose.
Would one go for a comparable build with current hardware, assuming somewhat normal GPU prices, one would have a very hard time to do it with 1500€.

Some will say: “It is only supply and demand!” Sure! In parts, certainly. But that also only really works in a healthy market. Between floods, epidemics, fires, economic recessions, temporary monopolies, crypto crazes, stagnation in innovation, shortages, etc. there were very few stretches with a healthy microelectronics market and plenty of competition going on.

Current prizes are a sickly amalgam of all of the above with a “healthy” dose of (corporate) greed incorporated. :_(

Think I would buy all new furniture or appliances for whole house instead.

Well store is called Top Price, no wonder.

well, it's a Swiss site that take all available online shop, that ship to/or are in Switzerland, prices and list them, you can search anything on it basically ...

aaaaaaannnddd ... yeah Swiss pricing is out of .... [heavily censored]

i am so glad to be Swiss ...

(although i am somewhat oddly proud to see that site as a reference on TPU ... )

to quote myself ... "MSRP? what's that? a Unicorn?"

@darksf 175 eur a 1070? my 1070 was 526chf 5 years ago

@Raevenlord price is in Chf (Swiss Francs) not Eur, although Euro rate is quite close to Chf... 3600 Chf make 3451.09 Eur (1chf/0.96eur that's a historical low )

Back in 2011, I bought the top end card, a GTX 580, for £400. 11 years later, the top end card is about 10 times the price, even accounting for exchange rate differences. It's now way out of my price range. There's something wrong here.

Maybe they are trying to price the poor out of computing.

I just got one yay !

Pictures or it didn't happen , from where?

Once again Ngreedia moves the goalposts of how expensive can the pricing table go on Gpus. It is very disturbing.
