Declining GPU prices are a thing ‘of the past’, says Nvidia CEO

My honest response.

Miners buying inflated GPUs are a thing of the past too, someone should notify Jensen of that.

I seriously doubt that wafer prices have increased so dramatically that it justifies selling a 4070 for $900, and a 4080 for $1200. AMD or Intel don't seem to have such ridiculous price hikes for their products, also utilising new dies and sizes.

We're probably going to see the 4000 series drop in price (maybe drastically depending on sales) after Nvidia and retailers get rid of the heaps of 3000 series cards they have.

I doubt(hope) many are going to pay 2500€+ for a GPU

In past that would've purchased top of line PC.

Nvidia CEO is an idiot

He will backpedal when sales drop and everyone goes to AMD

First of all their sales will drop because miners don't need these anymore, Jensen was hoping on that obviously.
And secondly, prices will go down as soon as they sell the remaining 3000 series GPU`s.

However, their sales wont drop drastically, because let`s face it, its nVidia, they would sell out toasters, because even those toasters would have some kind of cool AI tech with them, that would make them better.
I just wish that AMD can bring some competition like with Intel, in both raw performance and tech, that would be the only benefit for us mortals.

Declining GPU prices are a thing ‘of the past’

There, fixed your quote for you, Nvidia CEO.

Buying Nvidia GPUs is a thing of the past.

I had to buy GTX 1650 instead of 1660 Tias 6 moinths back prices ahd doubled on GPUs now damn rates have normalized.

And that's how you scare off potential costumers. Like seriously, is he trying to get people to not buy their products?

My response: "Buying an Nvidia GPU is a thing from the past".

I currently have an 3060 Ti FE that I luckily got at MSR price 2 years ago, but my next GPU will be an AMD if Nvidia doesn't stop that madness. Before my RTX I had an RX 480 for a very long time and it was a really good card. I only changed because I switched to a 1440p 32" monitor.

Everyone else: "Eat your overstock, your even mroe expensive new cards and go on red you greedy sht fck."

He's been pushing this line for awhile now.

"Pride goeth before a fall", as they say.

Isnt he the same guy, that tried his hardest to spread the fake rumor about "mining cards" lose alot of perfomance for every year they are in use, only to prevent people to buy cheap second hand cards?

im very happy with my 2019 GPU, a 2060 super 6gb.

but seriusly, they have some balls here, maybe they pretend a new Bitcoin rise and a lot of demand from them, more than from gamers

That's just greed sugar-coated with hype that won't live up to the expectations. Some will fall for it and expect "two to four times" the average performance which will be far from reality. Price wise, it doesn't make any sense to invest that much into something that will forcefully be outdated by the next year. It has come to a point where it's better to get an unused old gen for a way lesser price than going all in on the new gen, especially since chances are you won't see any difference in day to day usage, except for very specific situations.

Hopefully Intel's entering of the GPU market helps with this. But honestly simply put it's the classic case of the rich getting richer. Record profits, record profits, record profits. At this point the whole claim of "there's inflation and chips are harder to make" are basically contrarians since they literally ignore how they're not in lockstep and are instead left behind by the rising prices and increased sales to cost ratio.

It's greed. Nothing else. They have the right to do it, but I also have the right to say that Jensen should probably stop lying and do something good for humanity for once, but I guess that'd be like asking the sun not to be warm.

He would love to push that narrative, wouldn't he? He may be right that Moore's law is dead (for several years now, in fact) but the 40xx prices are robbery. Prices can be reasonable even adjusting for inflation and Nvidia deserves a nice flopped series to get their head straight.

Anyone planning on giving Intel Arc a try? Supposed to finally launch in 2 weeks.

Corporate lies to go with their corporate greed and record profits. I will not spend anywhere near the prices they are asking and I hope others will do the same. The people who continue to buy these ludicrously priced GPUs are the reason why they are staying so expensive. Nvidia is a business with intentions of making as much money as possible, they are not here to make gamers happy. When there is no competition to drive prices down, they will charge as much as people are willing to pay and unfortunately there are a lot of people out there that don't understand the value of money and have no self control, so the prices continue to rise. When consumers refuse to buy, the prices will drop.

I just checked ebay, there are used Geforce 3080 Ti's selling for under $600. So while new card prices might not fall that fast, used ones are getting much lower.

glad to have given only 60€ to this firm in my whole life. Im not an AMD fanboy but at least you can afford good stuff (cpus and gpus) from them and it's enough for 90% of users.

Buying Nvidia is a thing from the past.
