Price/Performance is also relative because each user has an acceptable minimum performance threshhold; price/performance then would only be an accurate measure at the performance premium above their minimum. The best price/performance card could be a $3 card that won't run anything over .5 FPS
People are complaining because they want the card but they don't find value in the pricing. If the price was $200, the price would be really low in the eyes of most people, and people would be talking about what a phenominal value it is. What is the difference? We are discussing the price. If...
Oh forget it. It's like talking to a brick that watches Fox News.
I couldn't care less if nvidia beats amd. Do you think you're talking to an amd fanboy or something? It's all just silicon to me man. All I care about is getting the best products out there at reasonable prices. Why does that...
No, my initial comment was that, since two new consoles were launching this year, some people would choose them over upgrading if GPUs were prohibitively more expensive for them. Gamers want to play games. The platform they chose to play them on is a value proposition, especially at a time when...
Oh, I'm sorry, are we talking about the mass market? Because you may be in the wrong thread. What we're talking about right now is the pricing on a high end, enthusiast targeted video card.
I hope nVidia prospers. I really do. Maybe not as much as you seem to, but whatever. I think they make...
Why is it so many people confuse the free market with "corporations can do whatever they want." Here's a hint. Corporations can charge whatever they want for a product. On the other side of that coin, consumers are free to say whatever they want about those prices, and at retail, they are free...
How did I move the goal posts? You said the high end market isn't where nVidia makes all its money, implying they can do whatever they want with the price and still be profitable as a company.
Burger King could sell spaghetti and take a bath on it and still come out profitable. But they...
Dear the market,
nVidia makes money on high end cards or they wouldn't sell them. We (enthusiasts) are the market for high end cards. If we will not bear their new prices, then the market will not bear them.
Love, Steve
Dear nVidia
if the new generation of GPUs is prohibitively expensive, more PC gamers will choose to go to the new console generation launching this year instead of upgrading/building new PCs and you will essentially be shooting your own market size/share right in the face
Love, steve
I'm thinking we may be another generation in before it gets widespread support. If its not faster clock for clock I'm just slapping a 3750k in my new build im planning and calling it a day. Don't feel like paying extra for the integrated graphics I won't even use.
I don't see how the new flagship card launching at a price similar to the last flagship card should give you buyer's remorse for a titan purchase. Did you not know what the flagship card went for during the last refresh? If you think a $5-$600 780 means you paid too much for your titan, you...
I'm buying a new video card on the 23rd. Its up to nVidia whether I buy one of their cards. If the 780 comes in under 600 I'm in for one. If not I'm buying a 7970GE.
I think we're much more likely to see a Titan price drop with this launch if anything than a massive price jack in the core product line's flagship card.
Well that's what I would do at any rate.
Thanks. I've actually been around a really long time but I lost access to the e-mail address for my old account and can't remember the password =)
I agree that it is marketing. I'm not sure nVidia will attempt a huge price increase on their flagship of the new core product line. Maybe $50 to...
This. Everyone who complained about the price of the Titan was told it was a luxury product and not a mainstream card and compared to a ferrari. You can't use that to justify its price and then use its price to justify jacking the cost of the mainstream cards.
