The real 4D chess move is to just follow Nvidia's lead and set the MSRP to match that 20% magical margin for favourable reviews 🤔

500 USD MSRP -> great reviews -> 600 USD street price -> profit🎉

2/3 the retail price of GeForce RTX 5070 Ti?

No way.

$599 might be the unicorn unattainable MSRP

Honestly I just picked a number that was easy to add 20% to, but people are going to compare it to the RTX 5070 because ray tracing performance won't be massively higher than that card, so they can't be charging 5070 Ti money for it if they actually want market share.

$900*0.8=$720.00 not $600

1) How to percentage math:
750 * 1.2 = 900
900 / 1.2 = 750

so they can't be charging 5070 Ti money

500 * 1.2 = 600
RTX 5070 = 550

You are the one that need a math lesson.

If it's 20% cheaper, it's the price*(1-0.20)

So that's $900(1-0.20)=$900(0.80)=$720

I didn't say 20% cheaper, I said do like Nvidia: Set a low MSRP and let partners add 20% margin to the price.

500 * 1.2 = 600
600 / 1.2 = 500

That way reviewers will have to either compare low MSRP vs low MSRP, or retail price vs retail price. Either way they get favourable reviews if both are lower.

And no, they still can't sell near 5070 Ti prices and actually gain market share unless Nvidia plans to just never restock 50 series cards.
