Get ready for nVidia pricing on this one. Whattya think guys? $799?
You mean ASUS pricing? Everyone is doing the same thing who is a desirable company. The only people who aren't doing it are the brands people don't want to buy.
I still remember when ASUS trotted out nvidia 6800gt/ultra cards that they sold at vastly expensive prices because of blue PCB, blue LED, and the ASUS name. Or remember how ROG back in the AM2 and 775 eras kicked off the most expensive boards ever seen before with the first crossfire and the striker extreme? Yeah all ASUS. And when other people released just as fancy boards ASUS did what any market leader and desirable company must do in order not to die and lose their position they.... raised prices!
Like it or not everyone is doing this. Don't like it? Well, get an IGP or an AMD rig on a budget board from say biostar. This is the nature of the master race PC gaming. It's all about the money baby! Always was. Always will be. We are just now getting to the point we voted for with our wallets for decades and have triggered the future of "PC gaming is cloud gaming, or you are on a IGP, console gaming is local, Nintendo still gets physical media".
Like it or not PC gaming is going to go like every other market has. Competition causes higher prices on what's wanted and lower prices and even worse quality on what's not. The PC gaming master race is going to be those buying prime steak at the butchers vs the dollar store canned beef hash interally. The only what this doesn't happen is the cloud (pay for your machine online at rentable prices, or it implodes and goes away).
