>cut supply to raise price
and it works

>>106244722 (OP)
this is actually pretty much the same real cost it was 10 years ago plus a little to account for increased demand (AI + greaterPC gaming market penetration)

>>106244747
yep
cpu is too cheap compared to gpu now

>AI
Wasn't gonna buy anyway.

>>106244722 (OP)
nvidia just announced they are dropping prices because sales are "disappointing". and thats even with limited stock, kek.
the 5000 series has been a disaster, drivers included.

Wtf happened to $200 midrange cards?

>>106245037
fake news.

nvidia did no such thing. Chiphell is an unreliable Chinese leaker.

>>106244747
Not true, 10 years ago we had a 200$ gpu that would play everything on acceptable settings. Today there are no 200$ gpus.

>>106245157
i was given access to a high speed printing press. i am sorry.

>>106245157
only good for playing midrange games

>>106245182
They inflated the global money supply by 30% for a literal cold a couple years ago remember. Gpus didn't get THAT much more expensive. Our money got just got more worthless.

>>106245182
today, like 10 years ago, everything is console ports.
today most games even run on a fucking ps4. a last-gen console from 10 years ago.

>>106245195
>gpu now half the budget in a pc build
sure, buddy

>>106245202
don't worry, intel is almost dead.
amd will be able to charge monopoly prices like nvidia soon.

>>106245202
Before covid a mobo was like $70 and theyre $140 now.

>>106244747
>10 years ago...
...the GTX 1090 released for 699 $.

What do you get from defending a corpo by lying?

>>106245224
Yay, $1000 cpus incoming. Ddr6 will have memory controllers built into the ram as well. Expect absurd prices for ddr6. But hurr durr you can use 4 sticks now like you couldn't with ddr5. The classic microsoft style move of destroying something so you can advertise the functional replacement as HUGE

>>106245235
10 years ago ground beef was $1.50/lb and its $5/lb now.

>>106245195
GPUs were cheaper before COVID, and even cheaper before crypto mining took off. GPU prices these days are fucking AIDS.

>>106244722 (OP)
didn't work on me
won't work on me

$549 and above is a dual gpu price

>>106245244
ground beef in 2015 was 4.1$/lb

>>106245247
Remember when a studio apartment was $500/mo haha

Fiat currency rules

>>106245195
If that's the case, why is price of every other components BUT the GPU stay the same?

>>106245256
I could buy entire brisket for 2.70/lb before covid. It's now $7/lb. I don't know where you're checking prices at, fucking los angeles?

>>106245263
They didn't. Motherboards are absurdly priced now with fewer pcie slots than ever.

>>106245259
rent for a studio apartment in Los Angeles is now 65% higher than it was 15 years ago.

Even that can't even get close to the 287% price increase of GPUs over ten years.

>>106245259
>renting
how come you are smart enough to rent your apartment but not your gpu?

>>106245282
I am renting my gpu. I bought a microcenter warranty so I can just short it and get my $620 deposit back in 2 years and put that into another gpu.

>>106245282
he's pedo

>>106245259
Abandoning the gold standard was a mistake.

>kindly buy the $1999 card saar it does AI saar!!
>AI is on the cloud
use case?

>>106245157
It's the RTX 5060 and it's plenty powerful

>>106245361
Sure it's the currency that is at fault. Not supply and demand. Lack of housing. El retardo.

>>106245434
Your jewish nonsense is so tiresome

>>106245404
>cpi

>>106245572
It's worse if you're one of the "inflation is actually worse than CPI" goldschizos.

>>106244722 (OP)
>gpu is about on par with its previous generation
>costs this fucking much after taking almost 20% off
The world is truly cooked.

>>106245157
just wait till intel comes with a b580 with 32Gb for $500, that thing will tear up the asshole of every current AMD card and anything under the RTX5080

>>106245259
>Fiat currency rules
Completely garbage, we should make payments through gold, silver, copper, livestock and services

>>106245680
>just wait till intel comes with a b580 with 32Gb for $500, that thing will tear up the asshole of every current AMD card and anything under the RTX5080
Never gonna happen. A b680 is more feasible and that's if they're still alive by then.

>>106245610
>20% down
>still $220 away from MSRP
lol

>>106245493
I didn't expect you to have any arguments. Where we have real competition and benefits from automation real prices have come down like TVs and monitors. Regardless of any shit currency.

>>106245239
>Yay, $1000 cpus incoming
They were always a thing, you fool.
> DDR6 will have memory controllers built into the ram as well.
Incorrect
> Expect absurd prices for ddr6.
All new iteration of a DDR generation always starts off expensive until inventory builds up.
> But hurr durr you can use 4 sticks now like you couldn't with ddr5.
You can use 4xUDIMMs with DDR5. You just have to tune-down clockspeed and relax timings. This is not new. You always have to make a trade for clockspeed/relax timing if you want to drive more modules.
>>Kiddie who has no clue

>>106245197
You mean a console (Nov 2013) from nearly 12 years ago?

>>106245247
It is because crypto mining madness and COVID cause two rounds of price discovery.

GPU vendors realize that there were plenty of buyer willing to tolerate the new price points.
They were never your friends to begin with.
>>106245182
They still do for the most part. It is just vocal min-max types that are fretting.

>>106245157
Stuck at 1080

>MUH INFLATION
Is a COPE that people have been using since 2018 before the scamdemic. Besides, this shit has raised prices GLOBALLY as opposed to merely dollar markets.

5090 costs 3000 including tax and other fees. there hasnt been a must use case for it though, modern games aren't that good.

>>106245610
Wrong, Blackwell is faster than Ada Lovelace but not by a large amount and most of the performance gain is just increasing the boost speed = higher power consumption. It is becuase Blackwell is stuck on the same node as Ada Lovelace. Blackwell is nothing more than a refined Ada Lovelace. It is Pascal minus the gains from a node shrink.

>>106245884
5090 is massive overkill for the vast majority of gaming needs. It is literately just a gimped workstation-class SKU sold to min-max types with deep pockets. 5090 is a "Not Titan" and only exists for halo effect. 5080, 5070Ti and RX 9070 are darn close for good number of use cases without spending as much (IMO, they are still overpriced)

my 3060 runs morrowind, silent hunter 3 and steel fury kharkov 1942 just fine

>>106245610
>about on par
>>106245885
>but not by a large amount

>>106245906
it is useful, it runs more modern games better, for example you can use it to run your game + frame gen and get that perfect 60 fps or 144 fps at 4k at max settings. but for 3000, its a conspiracy at that point. and the thing is you dont really need it when getting a bit subpar performance and graphics settings turned down a bit. its just not worth it to spend that much vital cash thats needed for other more important things like rent and food.

>>106245195
I don't give a fucking shit about
>muh inflation
that is their problem not mine, I get paid the same fucking wage I was getting paid 10 years ago (minimum).

People should be on the streets dragging the rich and powerful out of their homes and fucking them up good before throwing their husks into shallow ditches, all live streamed to make the rich and powerful afraid again. Fuck Thiel, Fuck Karp, Fuck Palantir, suck my dick.

>>106244722 (OP)
its not more expensive your money is just worth less.
