tech press needs to give more shit to both Nvidia and AMD for pricing this shit so high. xx60 class for $400 c'mon, this was once $250-300. Same goes for AMD, but they are just price matching -10%, but they'd price just as high if they were on the top, it's just going out of hand. And let's not even get into the "higher" end cards, because prices there are just beyond help. Majority of the people on this planet don't earn enough to even buy the 2070, let alone 2080 or 2080Ti, let alone the new 2060 Super. It's beyond belief and the tech press is quiet and even praises them for delivering all of this at this prices, because it's 10-15% faster...
It's no different than with CPUs. Improvements are harder to find. For sure, cards *are* faster per price with each new generation.
Improved architectures and smaller processes have allowed more fps in the ~300W limit, resulting in new higher pricing tiers. But all cards, at all price levels, are faster.
And prices are still too high. And RTX is still not a thing. And once again, Nvidia buyers take it rough, dry and end up with a sore backside. It's amazing to me. Nvidia speeds them up a bit, runs roughshod over their customers keeps prices still too high and suddenly everyone and their goldfish is praising Nvidia like they are the second coming here to save us all from life in the pit of hell. Not buying it, literally and figuratively. Just say, "NO!"
Just saw this on videocardz.com, which often gets leaked (and correct) information, about AMD supposedly lowering the prices of its Navi cards for the July 7th launch. Verbatim, copied from their posting: "The information on new pricing is under embargo till July 6th. We will let know you know as soon as we hear more. Update, new pricing (two confirmations):
As they write, the information is under embargo until tomorrow (so Ryan can't write about it if he still wants to get pre-release review samples to test), but they (videocardz) seem to not be so troubled about spilling the beans. If true, I like to say (even as a critic of NVIDIA and its over-pricing when they can): Thank you, NVIDIA. Let's hope these price cuts by AMD are true, and that this is the beginning of a long-overdue price war!
