Most of the PC gaming market buys prebuilts and these pretty much exclusively offer Nvidia. I can see why someone not interested in DIY won't even consider looking for the unicorn Radeon build.
The people who don't like 40/50 series pricing aren't even considering a $1600 graphics card. Most of these guys are midrange buyers who are being priced out.I agree, but no matter the price it will not stop people never wanting to buy a 5090 to post online and "cry" over the price
They can go Intel, those cards are cheap.
I can count all of Intel's cards on one hand and all of those I would say are solidly 'budget' tier, not midrange. We will see if BMG is fleshed out but also nothing Intel is doing is sustainable, they are selling dies the size of Nvidia's 70 tier cards with 60 tier performance for sub-60 tier costs.
Yea I dont take anything he says seriously.There's a rumor from More Law Is Dead, saying that Nvidia intends to position any card above the 5070 Ti, as for "professionals".
MLID gets it wrong a lot, so read this with caution.

I think it's the first 512bit bus for NV since GT200. Don't recall any Fermi stuff going past 384bit.
The Titan V did
Interesting... I did see that video as well and now it has been taken offline / made private. A part of me Wonders if it was too spot on for streamer with that amount of followers.Vex received price information from a store in Australia. Converting to US dollars, the RTX 5080 will cost at least $1400!!!!
Still says private? Are you talking about the Vex video or something else?
We talking about Vex? When the video goes private there's no way to even see who uploaded it.
Usually yes. We have a 10% sales tax that must be included in price, but even then there's typically a premium over that. 4090 when it released was over 2000 USD here
Those prices? Yikes.... There will be a breaking point. I for one wonder how long it will take for Nvidia to sour their relationship with gamers as they have done in the past with other businesses. As someone who was initially planning on buying a 5090 to upgrade from my 4080, it may be time to retire from purchasing pc parts in general until a more reasonably priced alternative to my 4080 surfaces.Vex received price information from a store in Australia.

Yes. And ideal business maximising profits will push until it finds it, and then sit just below. You can't know for sure how much your consumers are willing to pay until you've tested them directly. What if you price at $2500 and yet your audience would have been willing to pay $3000? That's $500 of pure profit you'd miss out on every unit.
When overall profitability starts to drop, they'll recalibrate their prices and hit the perfect sweet-spot.
