When will gpu prices return to normal.

[ARF]

Just dust off that old GTX 680 and go a round of Domination in UT99, you don't need any fancy ray-tracing there to look good!

lol, that 2012 card is not far behind the brand new Radeon RX 6400

This only serves to prove that the whole AMD graphics department management should take their suitcases and catch the first flights to some distant islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, so that no one EVER hears about them AGAIN!

the 3080 and 3070 hit new lows today. I only watch 4 online stores, Best Buy, B&H, Newegg and amazon (if anyone has any other good ones let me know so I can add them to my list) and only look at products that come from them and not other sellers. I found a 3070 for $499 and a 3080 for $699. This is the lowest ive seen them so far in the weeks ive been watching. The lowest I have found a 3080 12G is $769. Oh and an RX 6900 XT for $699.

ive seen those prices 2 weeks ago same stores, exact time before and after ive been watching to order my Asus Tuf RTX 3080 12gb, and have been there back and forward for Nvidia.
The MSI ventus rtx 3080 is the one hitting $699 on amazon and ive read that its not a good card due to thermal issues. On AMD side is the real deal cuz those RX 6900 xt are down to $700+
and the Rx 6800 XT $600~$700 brands like xfx , asus tuf and Msi

I think Nvidia will keep controlling the market, and stay around msrp. prices. When they release the 4000 series they will keep the same prices or higher on the 3000 and beef up the msrp on the 4000. Why? cuz they can do it.

I don't like the 6900 XT. It is a terrible card.
The 6800 XT is much better and this price of $580 looks good, but I don't think it's worth it to go that far to buy one...

It's just not its time anymore.

You have to wait for a brand new Radeon RX 7800 XT.

i pulled the trigger on the ASUS TUF rtx 3080 12 gb -$749- amazon - and ive been running it for a week already. will be great to see that rx 7800 xt, but when will be available and at what price??
next year maybe, 2Q perhaps?? by that date nvidia should have release theirs and will be another gpu war, scalpers etc, prices over the roof. ATM Rx 6800 XT for my res for the money is the best choice.

presentation... but i watched the vid of Jayz and jensen is manipulating the market. I dont trust Nvidia will make a launch of rtx 4000 series right away. Like i said they can do it, extend for more time and control the market/prices of the rtx 3000 series. maybe im wrong and they will release it to the market day 1.....

its capitalism, free market.... i dont blame them, like Lord Becket should say:

Tahiti sounds about right. Though Pitcairn, Tonga, Hawaii and Fiji are nice too

 

[80-watt Hamster]

Well, where are theses starving people? I will help whatever it takes.

There probably aren't many truly starving, but hunger is a legit issue in the U.S. Food pantries always appreciate donations. Need's greater now due to rising food costs.

Then I will give more than I currently give. I won't allow that anyone goes hungry.

It is not free. It's a misleading definition.
The customers are not free to negotiate, they are put in front of a fact - the price set by the producer and no freedom at all..

A true definition would be profit market or something similar...

If you're in the US, you really don't have to look hard. More than 10% of the population live below the official poverty line, which is low. For children, the poverty rate is >16%. For a single person with no children, aged 65 or less, the US poverty rate for 2021 was $14100. For a family of four, with two children below the age of 18, the poverty rate is $27500. And so on. And more than 10% of the population live below this threshold. A lot of these people go hungry a lot of the time. For a lot of kids, school lunches are the most nutritious meal they get in a day.

Why on earth would you not blame them? The only valid function these corporations have on this earth is to provide useful goods and services to people. Instead they're choosing exploitation and profiteering. This is literally the reason why the world is going to shit, and not blaming corporations for this is like not blaming the person taking a dump on your face for the smell, the taste, or the denigration.

It is basically a system made by the rich for the greater good of the rich. While, the lower class, if lucky, can get somewhat decent living conditions but again with many limitations - for example, how many people can afford going to the Cook Islands in the middle of the Pacific (I mean for a short summer vacation)? 0.1% probably.

The system is very unfair, in some cases there are regulations, but they only apply to basic services/products such as the electricity/water/heat bills.

Yep. Which is why saying "I don't blame them" is so fantastically absurd.

blame?? Still, people are paying for it, for gaming or making profits on the crypto mining side. Its not an essential product, neither of us needs this crap to make a life. I can be kind of mad cuz i cant pay the top dollar they are asking for this kind of product, but at the end, im the one deciding to pay for that or not so i can play a couple of hours with friends after coming from work. Their slogan is not, 'were making this world better' or ' lets Reduce E-waste'
They are putting a price on their stuff. i didnt pay the $1000+ on the crypto crisis, some did cuz they could afford it and want it to pay for that.
World going to shit..??? theres nothing free and life is not fair.
And they are not doing business thinking on helping any of us. I can just turn my back and buy when i want and i can afford it.
I wont make a revolution fighting big corpos from a forum.
They can do what they are doing, everyone will just buy if their pockets allows it.
this its not like Cyberpunk 2077 dropping a nuke like Johnny Silverhand on Arasaka, Nvidia . Amd Intel all of them are the same.
One or the other one will be king and will raise their prices if they know theres a demand.

Yep. Which is why saying "I don't blame them" is so fantastically absurd.

i Dont blame them cuz it depends on which side you will be, buyer, seller or shareholder.

And then Nvidia followed that up with the GTX 1630 for the same price which is even slower than both. When Nvidia's graphics dept joins AMD on that island (apparently along with Intel's discrete division), all we'll be left with is iGPUs.

 

[NoJuan999]

I'm ok with my Ampere. Its pretty good. As noted.. games aren't really that much fun anymore, but they look nice. I'm not into these high prices in the coming future.. been looking at my other neglected hobbies, and things have progressed with them since I last left off, and much cheaper than computers lol..

I am still using an RTX 2060 Super (which I bought in 2019 for just over $400). It runs pretty much everything I throw at it at 1080p. I would be more than happy with your 3070. If/when I upgrade to a 1440p monitor I will probably look for a discounted 3060Ti or 3070.

 

[R-T-B]

You don't game 24/7 so it's a trivial issue.

AC doesn't run 24/7 either but people think about it.

I really don't follow the logic.

We take care of our own.
We always have and we always will and we will try to help others when we can.

When a small handful of individuals can earn billions upon billions of $$$ with little return to the economy & those who are busting their asses for those corporate execs, there really is something wrong with the system.

 

[Mister300]

RX 5700 XT was the worst. Designed during a difficult period for AMD in which the company faced the real threat of going under, to bankrupt, its share stock price was $1, and AMD had no money to design a big Navi 1 chip to fill the empty high-end niche.

AMD's debacle was the bundle scam they ran with either the 5700XT or Vega 56/64. You got the lower price only if you bought a monitor/game bundle. If they just priced the card at 350 USD, not 500 USD it would have flown off the shelves as a 390X upgrade option.

I've doubled my contribution to the local food pantry but they don't seem to bother about any uptick in demand.
