Honestly, fuck all of these GPU makers at this point.
A reminder that tariffs are actually a thing.
A 25% tariff on a $600 item is $150. Even taking into account the tariff applying to the import cost instead, sales margins aren’t the majority of the cost. The tariff is applying to the wholesale cost to import the product, sales margins are then added on top of that.
I haven’t seen a single thing from AMD about whether the MSRP was set taking the tariffs into account or not. If not, then that should only apply to the devices imported before that went into effect. And everything after would be at least 25% more, more like 30% taking into account sales margins are based AFTER import costs.
Boycott those greedy jerks. That’s the only way they’ll understand.
Stick with your old GPU, or buy secondhand.I’m getting to the point where i would love to replace my 3070, it getting quite long in the tooth, but cant see doing that for at least another generation or two with these prices!
And what makes you think, things will improve in a generation or two? I think the NVIDIA master plan is eventually for everyone to use GeForce now, AMD will probably offer some kind of alternative to that with physical cards, but most likely they will continue being overpriced.
No, things will be worse.
But at least the performance increase will be larger!
