That's was really not his point. His point was that Nvidia is price gouging and I explained him why they can get away with it since the current market conditions favor their products a lot. AMD has been consistently making bad business decisions in the GPU space for years now. What's new? They're pricing their hardware near NVidia but with less performance and way less features and poor track record, especially for the ML users.

  Nvidia is price gouging because there is no credible competition. That's the entire explanation and there is nothing more to it.

    Why are people here continuously surprised by this and keep asking the same redundant questions: "Why does Nvidia charge so much?" I just don't get it. Thinking that Nvidia is some evil villain doing it to consumer out of spite, when they're just doing what any other company in their dominant position would do: charge as much as the market will bear. Apple also doesn't have to charge you $200 for configuring the 512GB SSD over the 256 SSD which only costs them an extra $5 NAND chip, but they do it because they can. So does Nvidia and any other company in a dominant position with virtually no competition.

  > His point was that Nvidia is price gouging You might be reading into their comment too much, they don't really blame NVidia, just wish for more competition. IMHO you're being downvoted because you come across as needlessly confrontational to an innocent comment.

    I sound confrontational because it seems like the upvoted poster didn't understand the laws of supply and demand and neither do the people who upvoted it to the top, or was just karma farming by asking redundant/self explanatory questions hoping to get votes from the mobs with their pitchforks out. Maybe I'm wrong and OP really didn't understand the curent supply/demand issues which is why I gave a lengthy explanation of how it looks.
