NVidia's pricing isn't based on how much it takes to produce their cards, but since they have no competition, it's purely based on how much consumers are grudgingly willing to pay up. If AMD continues to sleep, they'll sale these cards for the same price, even if they could produce them for free.
- ryao 2y agoNvidia’s Titan series cards always were outrageously priced for the consumer market. The 5090 is a Titan series card in all but name. I suspect there is a correlation to the price that it costs Nvidia to produce these. In particular, the price is likely 3 times higher than the production and distribution costs. The computer industry has always had significant margins on processors.

- stego-tech 2y agoAnd if these 50-series specs are anything to go by, they made a good call in doing so. All the big improvements are coming in mid-range cards, where AMD, nVidia, and Intel(!) are trading blows. If the only way to get better raw frames in modern GPUs is to basically keep shoveling power into them like an old Pentium 4, then that’s not exactly an enticing or profitable space to be in. Best leave that to nVidia and focus your efforts on a competitive segment where cost and efficiency are more important.
