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.

I did but you never bothered to read everything I actually wrote obviously.
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.
Yes, YOU speak of R&D, i did not. Why? Simple. Because your whole bulletpoint is purely based off of an apples and oranges comparison only implying that r&d justifies the higher price which you don't agree the r&d should cost that much, or greed.

Just being even more clear here, read what you stated, stating a $1102 premium over a previous card, with zero reflection of production cost. This is what you said, this is what i replied to. Very, very clear.
So your reasonings are invalid while not even remotely looking at the costs differences.
This isnt rocket science on how to follow a conversation, shouldn't have had to explain any of this.
Your comparison is BS, simple as that. Just because you didnt pay attention to how cheap a 7950 gx2 was able to be made doesn't magically make your comparison any better.
Now, if you wanna go and find a comparison of a dual GPU with GPU die size the same or similar of what is expected of a 3090, and compare the prices of what is expected if this is a dual gpu, by all means, whatever the price differencs is you can try to attribute to R&D. Until then, your comparison holds no ground, it literally means nothing.

You are arguing that the production cost of current gen is over 1K per card on avg? That is for all of those units sold? That’s already having had factored inflation. Because if you aren’t arguing that, then what the fuck are you talking about in the first place?
EDIT: @Aura89 Listen, all my point was this - over a period of time here is the difference of cost not why but possibilities. You went and took it sideways (you honestly did) you did overreact a little and get a bit whiny about it being all triggered acting like I am ignoring the technology of the fabrication process of the chip, the architecture behind it. Well, I am. I intended to as that was never the point - duh. Jesus Christ you are stupid.
I bet if I compared tits to ass you'd bitch about that too...

According to Chiphell forum user, prices will likely be as follows:
3090 = $1399
3080 = 799
3070 = 499
3080 will come in 10gb/20gb versions
3070 in 8/16gb versions
The higher vram versions may be offered by AIBs at obviously higher cost.

I did but you never bothered to read everything I actually wrote obviously. You’re taking things out of context & cherry picking what you want to suit your narrative of events and how you think what I say should suit however you interpret it instead of having an actual conversation. Like I said, echo chamber. You just like hearing yourself talk or want to sound smart trying to make someone else look wrong. Clearly I don’t take shit so just give up now while you’re ahead.
