Rumor: GeForce RTX 3090 Pricing To Sit at $2000
It is a rumour of the greatest degree, but chatter on the web at this moment is that the release pending GeForce RTX 3090 would/could cost you roughly 2000 USD.
ChipHell user Alienxzy posted a screenshot taken from an insider account (alledged) with information regarding plans for next-gen RTX 3090. The partner in dispute here would be Colorful, and there is validity there as the guy posted a screenshot. Colorful would be releasing two high-end versions of the RTX 3090 graphics card, a Vulcan (air-cooled) and then a Neptune (hybrid liquid-cooled). Prices would sit at CNY 14,999 and 15,999 respectively (yes in that order), that's about $2000 for the Vulcan X OC and weirdly enough the Liquid cooled version would be a notch cheaper.
We'd advise you to be very careful with this info as this one definitely is not confirmed. The graphics card photos below are for reference only, these are the RTX 2000 series models, carrying the same name.

you do realize, thats how governments pay for things like social security/unemployment etc.
especially on things "we" dont need to survive to the next day like shelter heating etc.
i know i rather live with higher taxes, than less and have less "services" offered because of it.
@Supertribble
and?
a 911 Turbo cost 50K in the 80s, not its +120K.
a one family house (Germany) was about the same, now its +200K for the same thing.
@at all
besides the fact that we dont have actual prices for the new stuff, dont like it, dont buy it.
its as easy as that.
we arent all driving +300K super sports cars, nor do we eat "hand fed" organic meat for 2$/100kg,
yet no one runs around and complains about that.
as many other things, its something we "want", not "need", and i buy what my wallet allows, not based on a benchmark result,
but that doesnt mean i will sour it for ppl that have the money/means to buy a 2K card, nor will i whine about its existence in the first place.

There is a hell of a lot more going into new GPUs than the simple, almost primitive versions of the past. Just look at the PCBs of older cards that appear almost bare bones compared to todays GPUs.

Unfortunately you can't just undercut a company expecting to sell much more, doesn't work like that. You have to think about the supply you have and not price it in a way that it just runs out too fast. AMD also needs the funds to keep R&D going, they're not sitting in a massive cash pile like Ngreedia is, so they did what they could: hug the Ngreedia price. Now if the market starts to shift a little, and AMD can secure more production because they know it will sell, pushing bigger production means lower price per unit. Problem is the massive amounts of people like "ur dur I'm sitTiNg iN 1 oR 2k tO bUy wHatEveR N$iDia spiTs oUt nExt geN". I'll only buy the most sensible choice of price/performance at my budget.

You've responded to me but I don't know to what post, exactly, but my admittedly ageing brain doesn't recognise what you are taking issue with.

Nvidia's GeForce 7950 GX2 was a dual-GPU video card released on June 5, 2006
According to a 2006 ExtremeTech article, "Nvidia did not release a suggested price for the card, a quick survey of online retailers revealed prices ranging from about $635 to $720."
Taking inflation into account, $699 USD in 2006 would be $898.37 in 2020.
That is a cumulative rate of roughly 28%.
It's clear Nvidia's approach towards flagship products & flagship pricing has changed & it's unlikely they'll ever release a quantitive explanation breaking that down. Meaning if a flagship product were to cost 2K now, one would surmise the difference of $1,102 is apparently being factored in per card to account for R&D which is an umbrella for a litany of other subcategories etc...
There is another possibility; it's a bullshit price tag settled on from God knows where and greed.
lol....comparing a dual-GPU G71 196mm2 card to a theoretical likely around 700mm2 dual GPU card and trying to claim if they can make a $900 dual-GPU card in the past then this should be the same price.....lol.......
