AMD RDNA4 potential product value

[tunafish]

What is the deal with all the NVIDIA cards above the 4070 being either above MSRP, way above MSRP, or out of stock / only available in ridiculous "combos"? Is this a Christmas thing? I don't think there's another crypto craze going on right?

Next gen is announced/released in two weeks, no-one wants to be caught with obsolete cards in stock when it happens.

I hear you but this isn't how it normally works. Usually it takes a while for old stock to dry up. We still don't know if the 5070/5070Ti will release alongside the 5080/5090.

Until the crytoboom we didn't typically go through months long periods where GPUs were unobtanium. Maybe this will be AMD's big selling point: you can actually buy one. Because nobody else wants to

But that's true for almost all consecutive generations in PC h/w. There are some parts which provide a solid perf/price gain but en mass you don't get much from the next generation of anything really be it GPUs, CPUs, SSDs, displays, mice, etc. I have no idea where the feeling that GPUs "must" provide more than anything else has came up from. Looking back at my personal upgrade log there were quite a few of them where I've gotten a lot less than what I've got from 3080->4090 upgrade.

30 series MSRPs were very good for the added performance, particularly with RT.

10 series uplift was pretty good as well. 1080ti was probably one of the best bargains ever lol.

Prior to that idk I wasn’t into PC gaming way back when.
