I like to have strong midrange card every few years. Is that hard to ask, 4070 to not be more than 499$ to actually be available?

TSMC is just doing good business... period.
yes our particular ox may get gored a bit.
but most people who post here are disconnected from reality as far as the business aspect goes.
did anyone truly expect TSMC to sit on their hands while Intel is doing the largest Capital expansion in their history?
and this time the advantages TSMC had with the ROC have been answered by the US and EU government (subsidies) contracts for Intel.
ALSO, on the same note that's why AMD had raised MSRP on Ryzen 3 because they knew what Intel was going to do. AMD dearly wanted to go hat in hand to get some of the good good gov't money but couldn't as their fabs are gone. GloFlo got some of that supply-chain cash, but a pittance compared to Intel.

@Hilbert Hagedoorn Its GPU's not graphics cards that TSMC is increasing prices on. I know im splitting hairs but a cost increase on the raw parts to build a graphics card, usually has a bigger impact due to margins.

The entire cutting edge tech sector held by the balls by a single company on an island on the other side of the planet, which is going to be invaded by the largest country on Earth in the near future…
What could possibly go wrong?

This was your original post I was referencing:
Your saying "what happened last couple of years" yet continuing with the implied assumption that the same will occur despite zero mining demand this time around (which jacked up prices to obscene levels with Ampere) does suggest you were completely oblivious to cryptos effect on GPU pricing. No way around it, you goofed with your argument. 🙄
Also seems you were unaware that Nvidia paid TSMC extra $ billions for added production capacity for RTX 4000s to avoid the sort of shortages that occurred with Ampere. Now Nvidia is stuck with a huge TSMC contract that they cannot back out of:

So hypocritical... complaints about the tech companies raising prices while the vast majority of those on these forums have hardware from the last generation or two... three at most. If you're going to keep feeding the monster, the monster will keep growing and will eventually eat you alive.
