Prices down here in Aus are mental for this. 2 models at msrp at $1480 which is already suspect, then they jump to $1650 and climb from there. If the 7900xtx comes back in stock without a price rise (I don't think that will happen) it will be possible to get a 7900xtx at $1790 which will be cheaper than all but 4 models of the 4070ti and there are 12 models on sale. Little more perspective, I can see 4090's instock at a few places for ~$3000.
Do you live in another time-space continuum? GF2U was not on sale before mid-Y2k.I remember buying a GeForce 2 Ultra in the 90's for $1200 AUS
[...] PC gaming - something which Nvidia has very much created and continue to profit greatly from.
Lol bad memory, yes it was 2000/2001Do you live in another time-space continuum? GF2U was not on sale before mid-Y2k.
Great input, thanks.LOL!!!
Delusional.
Seeing the prices as reasonable for where we are and for how much it costs to make these products today is not "justifying" or "defending" them, it's just stating the harsh reality of cutting edge silicon production. No amount of "lols" or rage will change this reality. If you are unable to see the difference then I have nothing else to say really.Unless you're an Nvidia shareholder, there is no way you should attempt to justify or defend these prices.
Shipping has gone crazy since the pandemic so that alone will probably push the cost over local prices, but the other problem is you get hit with import duty since these will be over 800aud and I'm not sure I would want to be getting something that expensive shipped without insurance to try avoid that by having it labelled at a cheap value. I did get a 3dfx voodoo imported myself back in the 90's but have never done it again.You guys always seem to get shafted on prices, what's it like importing yourself? Any cheaper?
Or how Nvidia is killing PC gaming - something which Nvidia has very much created and continue to profit greatly from.
I am not. Modern PC gaming was very much created by Nvidia, between their competition with 3dfx and modern day pushing of new features on top of console baselines.Tell me you're joking? Nvidia did not create PC gaming.

Edit: actually you know what? I will just report these useless posts about "Nvidia guys" from the usual suspects now.

Well, you could always just not buy it. I mean there's no particularly urgent reason for anyone to weigh in on pricing.LOL!!!

And even though I own Nvidia stocks, I'm first and foremost a consumer and an enthusiast. These prices are stupid and should be condemned.
You've missed the previous couple of pages?Can you share your data regarding cost breakdown of these cards?
