This cannot go on.It will not go on

IT'S NOT EVEN NEWS to point out that PC graphics card pricing is ridiculous. And yet to merely complain about over-priced graphics boards fails to capture the disconnected, unhinged state of the GPU market. The way AMD and Nvidia priced their new cards makes no sense. It cannot go on.

Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti Incoming

WHEN NVIDIA OFFICIALLY announced its Ada Lovelace architecture, it revealed plans for three graphics cards: RTX 4090 as the king of the hill at $1,599; RTX 4080 16GB as the step-down prince for $1,199; and the RTX 4080 12GB at $899. To say people weren’t pleased with the pricing and specs would be an understatement. Nvidia “unlaunched” the 4080 12GB, stating that “having two GPUs with the 4080 designation is confusing.”
