Yes, but the modern 80/Ti/Super/90 cards are not 897$

There’s two groups of people, folks who know they’re being assfucked by corporations and folks who need to cope with that reality by pretending it isn’t happening.

That’s about where the current handheld performance level is at for about that price yea
Ryoohki_360
Yeah but the cost per wafer exploded since 10nm, there no saving now when you do it lower. That’s why console are stucks with 6nm if they drop to 5nm or 4nm they would need to raise the price considerably .

I see that spending all that time studying econometrics was a waste. Apparently, inflation is the only variable you need in order to analyse prices over time.
Anything not accounted for by inflation can be found in the coffers of greedy corporations…
ecktt
Yeah the 2080Ti launched for 1K
3080 – 700
4090 – 1600
How much people actually got it at that price?
Likewise…you’d swear someone is holding a gun to everyone’s head forcing them to buy NVidia when there is another option. So, while NVidia grows its market share to 88% while jacking up prices, people rather bitch meme. 🤣
IANvaderZIM
We’re not concerned about the 28% inflation in just 7 years?
Repulsive_Village843
So a 4090 for 900…

Am I the only one bothered by OP using the wrong comparison sign?

I picked one up (non TI) not too long ago. It will be going in a build for my10 year old nephew.

I will never get why people do mental gymnastics to defend a multi-trillion company that doesn’t care if you live or die. We get it, you love the product, maybe have some shares, and you are part of the green team. But Nvidia has been vile to the gaming community. They could charge the premium to the AI/crypto people, why do gamers need to pay the insane premium Nvidia tax?

Don’t care about the super high end cards. The xx70 series was always a good valuu, but a rtx 4070 is >600€, and my 1070ti costed a bit over 300€.
Inflation didn’t accumulate to 100% in 8 years
Youcican_
And it’s still good
Intelligent_League_1
Now the current Nahvidia flagship is 2k.
Atleast my 4070S was a good price.

I built a “top of line” machine in 2017, complete with 1080ti, for $2200. Had pretty much best of everything at the time within reason: multiple ssds, nvme i think, new 27in monitor, 32gb ram, etc. The processor was an i7? I don’t remember and I’m not gonna dig it out. I specifically got just about the best of everything that I could, all intel.
I built my new one in April with a 7800x3d, 7900xtx, 32gb ddr5 6000, msi x670e, .5 and 4tb nvmes, aio, 32in 4k 144hz monitor for $3600. It wasn’t the *best* of every single part, especially the video card, but damn close, and all amd this time. When I got the price total on pcpp I about fainted.
Don’t know what this says just pumping in my 2 cents

Much of this is due to the increasing cost and difficulty of continuing to shrink transistor sizes. Doubling density is astronomically harder today than it was 10-20 years ago, so each % of performance gain gen-over-gen costs more than it ever has. Fab output (supply) is also limited at the cutting edge since there are so few fabs competing there. Apple, Nvidia, etc all want the latest tech and bid against each other to secure allocations – which are ultimately finite.
Nvidia has definitely taken great advantage of the factors involved to extract tons of profit. However, compared to many other industries currently, the GPU space does still have significant real-world factors contributing to price increases.

Luxury products are not tie to inflation. They are tie to what ppl are willing to pay for them.
TylerDog3
but we aint making 30% more money than we were in 2017
eXistenceLies
Still running my 1080ti on water. It’s starting to show it’s age. As well as my 7700k. I want to upgrade but I don’t lol.
BlastMode7
Well, the 4080 released for $1,200 and the 4080 Super sells for $1,000 to $1,200. So, despite your best efforts, this is still copium.
StayBullGenius
Glad I invested in NVDA
RWLemon
Still got my 1080ti I think it still works, the psu gave out so I upgraded the rig entirely to 14900k and a 4090
poweredbylight
I got my 1080 6 years ago for 600 dollars. It’s been playing shit at 1440p (to this day) on mostly high settings. If a similarly priced card today, adjusted for inflation can do that, then sign me up.
Yeah i remember buying a 1080Ti new for like $900 in 2018 and that was okish, but now a 4080 is $2300 or more. That is not inflation. that is not the increases cost of manufacturing, that is price gouging and profiteering
AllMyFrendsArePixels
$897 is >$700 even without inflation. I’m not sure you used the right mathematical symbol there. The 4090 also released for >$700 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
ThatDarnRosco
GTX1080TI gotta be one of the best cards ever made
EG_Cale
With the 690 being $1000 I was already feeling fucked.

Hmm just let me look at the MSRPs at launch for a second.
Obviously, if you remember the RTX 30-series launch you already know that there was no way in hell to get one at that price unless you were one of the lucky few around launch time that actually found one in stock. For the rest of us, Covid happened and prices skyrocketed to 2x or more of MSRP. And they never really came back down. Result? Look at that RTX 4080 MSRP again.
yumri
My only complete is the x080 cards going for 1000 or more USD right now and the 4090 still 2000USD to 3000USD even though it will seen have a 5090 that might or might not be better than it for the same price.
Impossible_Farm_979
The 4080 super is $1000 so we getting one step down at the same price point. Still not favorable
ilikewc3
K. I bought multiple 1080s in the 500-550 range though so…how much are 5080s gonna go for?
