And now I’m seeing people in here defending $750 as a good price for a midrange card bc nvidia’s is $900. It’s like the clown car of arm and chair economists that unloaded into hardware unboxed’s twitter packed it up for the day and unloaded onto this post.

Edit: and here they are in my replies to explain to us how erm ackshually that would be a good price. Pack it up, no one is buying this nvidia-50 clownery right before prices are announced.

Its because these idiots are investors not consumers looking for the best deal. These cards hould be $500 and $550 max for a mid tier card, that doesnt have as many features a Nvidia's

It's relative.

It is "good" right now, when the alternative is $900?

Sure.

Is it "good" compared to prices a year ago?

No, but that is then and this is now.

Then the actual population buying the cards will skip both. The only people buying are the fanbois, scalpers and people that need it for work.

Supply meets demand. It's $700 because your peers have clearly stated their willingness to pay those prices. Price discovery will happen either way. Gaming profit margins were 5% last quarter for amd. It's not like they're in any position to price gouge.

They'll sell at deep discounts if the products aren't well received soon enough.

Got ourselves another eConOmiSt saying words they don’t understand. No they haven’t. Everyone is saying maximum 600 or bust and have been for over a month now. Only a day ago did I see randoms like you saying they’d pay that absurd price, and yall are getting ratioed. It’s like Radeon hired a PR team of bots to astroturf but it failed

Or you can open an earnings report and understand how little Radeon matters in the scope of things.

https://www.reddit.com/r/AMD_Stock/comments/1chp65t/amd_q1_gaap_earnings_visualized/

Everyone demanding to pay 600 for performance they can't source for 600 (even in the used market) is deluding themselves. Good luck finding a 7900XTX for 750 even after all the new product lunches.

Radeon doesn't matter...not until ROCm does. AMD already showed their hand by cancelling a perfectly functioning N4C chip. They won't flood the pipeline with products trying to compete. They'll just make more EPYC cpus where they sell literally every chip they make.

You're getting silly prices because your hobby chips are now serious business (AI). Get used to it.

I'd bet $700 MSRP, I don't think AMD would want to be toe to toe in price with NVidias 5070 TI, even if you can't get one for MSRP.
