I would argue there shouldn't be an "nvidia price" the same way we complain there should be no "apple tax".7800XT should be 399 then, the features are simply lacking way too much. People are not paying Nvidia prices for AMD hardware.
If AMD intends to regrab marketshare, then they need to price their cards agressively. Or they will loose even more.
Also, they need to improve their features to be comparable to Nvidias. DLSS/DLAA beats FSR in every game. DLSS FG beats AFMF easily. Ray Tracing and Path Tracing runs way better on Nvidia. Reflex is better than Anti Lag+ that got people banned on Steam. Shadowplay has better quality, less perf hit and better platform comp (Twitch etc), than ReLive.
Also AMD often lacks launch drivers for new games, and good optimizing in general when you leave the most popular games. Early access games often runs alot worse on AMD GPUs.
And all this, is the reason why AMD can't demand Nvidia prices for their GPUs. AMD mainly focus on CPUs and APUs, not GPUs. Nvidia does, and it shows.
Things like DLSS are used in order to inflate the value of a product and to use said software to make claims that the product does what it perhaps should do, but using, in this case, dlss, they no longer sell you a competent product, they now sell you a "passable when compared to the other releases" product with software to "make up" for it. Better driver support and productivity performance is an actual metric, DLSS is a crutch, DLSS FG is the holy grail of crutches, it is not better than native rendering, nor is it comparable.
So selling you something inferior as a replacement for what we used to get, it's mental.
(before I get called an amd fanboy or shill, I had a 2070 with which I used DLSS up to 3.0 and about, I didn't like upscaling then, and now with an AMD gpu, I still don't like upscaling, AFMF or whatever crutch the other company crafts for itself. It's also wild that I even have to give this disclaimer)
