This is like a thought experiment at this point, it was consensual that at 600/700$ these cards would flop hard, that these prices were too high. Now we see people accepting basically a 700$ price tag for what is essentially a 4080. The 4080 should have cost no more than 700 almost 3 years ago. This is insane.

That stuff will sell. Most are not amd customers anyway who write about high prices.

Higher prices equal higher prices for used graphic cards. WIN - WIN.

Don't worry for 700$ msrp it will fail hard! From 90/10 to 95/5

idk, if history tells us anything, doing that AMD will probably close this gen with 5% market share or less, and the 6070ti will cost a cool 2000$ MSRP. AMD will proceed to launch a 10070xt for 1900$. Not sure why I should expect things go any different this time around.

What's the saying... Doing the same thing and expecting different results.... is the smart thing to do? no it can't be it.

They still will sell,

and that´s kinda bad for us (and AMD) long term?!

market share - measly, trending downwards before and i don´t see how that can change with those prices in the future
mindshare - almost lost?

I would have bought one for 550 just to stick it to - you know who

But at those prices : long live the green king i suppose :shadedshu:

A lot depends on the performance and availability. If AMD succeeds there, that's a half win. Not meant to disagree with you, though.

i don't think the 9070xt will be better in raster or RT than a almost 3 year old 4080 and that's the reality we have here. If the pricing is insane for Nvidia we have to use the same logic for AMD.
Wouldn't it be normal for a 5060 to match closely the 4080 and for pricing to reflect a 60 class card? we must continue the logic for AMD.

So why are prices from your shop relevant?

My prices "from my shop" are relevant to "maybe it is $700" discussion, are they not? :D

PS
What is there between you and Jensen Huang? I hope it is monetary.

I'd hope it would be monetary.

The prices from your shop are irrelevant cause the 9070xt from your shop might be 1k or 1.5k. It's a totally irrelevant comparison. Stop being obtuse man.
