Good, when the 50 series hits the market there better be less supply of old cards, 4070 should have released ages ago alongside the 80/90.

Nah bro $600 is teenager pocket change. If you can't afford $600 for midrange PC GPU then you need to reevaluate yourself. $600 is the new mainstream/midrange guess your poorer than a teenager. You going to be in the store browsing the GPUs looking at the open box discounts trying to decide which best fits your budget but you have to get something older because the value just isn't there on the current stuff while some teenager pulls over $650 from his pocket for a mainstream 4070 when you paid about half that for your 970 in your late teens. So you think to yourself "are GPUs really worth being twice as expensive as before or are teenagers just half as smart as they used to be?"
There's some truth to this. People at Chipotle, McDonald's, Starbucks etc can make more than I do, at least on an hourly basis, doing heavy factory work. Still, my wages have gone up considerably since I started in 2015, almost double. Though the price of living has gone up considerably as well. As such, paying $600 for a midrange card isn't going to happen any time soon when I have other responsibilities.

I don't know about you man, but I don't think these qualify as cheap toys any longer... An RTX 4090 costs as much as an used entry-level car in most of the world. Or I could pay practically half of a brand new popular vehicle here.

Long gone are the days that I paid $125 USD on a mint condition R9 Fury X, even in the richer nations, I doubt most people have $2000 to throw around like it's nothing.
While I don't disagree, I wish vehicles were like that here, a new pickup truck pretty basic, as in no cruise control (but crew cab 4x4), I'm looking at $64,000 ish (CAD) w/o 13% tax and the winters here will completely destroy it in 10 years................................. :|


I really hate how they charge almost $6k for 3 more seats.........................bs

Even my 12-year-old Honda Civic are selling for 15k usd here (new one are 40k usd), people who have access to cheap cars are so privileged that the existent of 2000usd GPU is a threat to their privilege :D

It's not that cars are cheap, it's that I picked an absolute lowest common denominator (a subcompact two-door with a 1.0L engine) and we have a lower median income to boot.

@Dr. Dro
You’re not wrong about the limited utility and driving those away from the hobby. I’m honestly at the point where if Intel or AMD can’t give us a good value option in a couple of years (Nvidia won’t) then my pre-Covid era aged card may be the last proper gaming card I buy. I’d rather try a different hobby like motorcycles or rifles or something.

A large chunk of Nvidia's revenue comes from gaming. It is their second highest revenue stream. Last quarter almost $2B. Down 46% from a year ago and down $9B for the 2023 fiscal year which is down almost 30%. Gaming has been a strong sector for them.

Datacenter revenue grew, but overall they are still down YoY largely driven by their gaming sector. Its something for Nvidia to keep an eye on.

The enterprise/HPC is their biggest profit maker & it's not even close wrt gaming!
