A card made for the rich and stupid. Indeed "the best" to play nothing demanding.

I guess it depends on how you calculate
1500 for my lazy boy, 1500 for my tv, 2500 for my computer, 1000 for my ps5 and accessories, etc… that’s still only like 6500 lol.
I guess a 5090 is too good for me lol

I mean, the average gamer doesn't need a xx90 level GPU. Hell, people can't even tell the difference between PS4 and PS5... LMAO

$10,000 in your monitor and sound system? The best PC monitors are a fraction of that price, so I assume he is referring to some over the top sound system that probably a fraction of even 4090 owners have. Certainly overkill, and I'd rather invest in a good pair of headphones myself.

I wonder if those prices we were seeing last week were controlled leaks. Overall the pricing is great besides the 5090 but I wanna see benchmarks from regular people on the midrange cards.

Bruh, what’s the best way to ensure getting an FE card on launch?

It could sell for 1500 and still have great profit margins. The price gouging is insane.

I snagged a "preorder" at a UK retailer for a launch 3080 when they accidentally listed the card the week before for about 5 minutes. I was sure they'd cancel it but nope they took full payment and it turned up.

I’m not mad because they’re rolling all their new tech out to their old cards anyway. When Jensen started rapid firing buzzwords I was fully expecting him to say their new model would only work on the new cards.
The real problem is AMD stinks and is seemingly always 4 steps behind, for similar prices. Now Nvidia is such a juggernaut that it’s gonna be hard for anyone to compete with their r&d budget.

32GB GDDR7 isn't cheap. And have you seen how small and packed the PCB is? You have no idea what you're talking about. Ironic that you chose a clown user name.

He said "home theater"
If you have never priced out a real home theater, try it sometime. I mean a real home theater with 5.1/7.1/Atmos speakers, a good receiver, etc
$10k is a reasonable starting cost for a really good home theater

Telling themselves the rich are stupid is how the poor make themselves feel better but it is a delusion
The reality is the majority of millionaires are self-made and they are very smart and work hard to have gotten their wealth

Its funny thinking a $2000 GPU makes a difference to someone who is considered "rich"
Oh and by far most "rich" people I know are far from stupid, hate to break that to you and your delusions
Very nice chair.
I was lucky enough to have a HM dealer in Indianapolis who had a 30 day trial and that chair just wasn't big enough for me being a very tall dude
Ended up going with Concept Seating 3142 chair and love the thing

Yup
Looking at it for a couple of years now, basement is in total revamp progress.
It goes fucking fast
GAF thinks an home theater is a Best Buy OLED with a sound bar..
On PC desk my dac/amp + headphones alone go to $3.3k
Home theater is much more expensive
And when you splurged that kind of money on the setup, you don’t plug a switch on it
. All the ones I’ve seen had PCs on the home theater rack.

You're exactly the reason it's 2000 plus tax.
And wtf do gamers need 32gb for? Don't tell me future proofing. Because the people buying this, would only be buying the 6090 in 2 years anyway.

Some 32 percent of the Forbes 400 in 2011 belonged to very rich families, down from 60 percent in 1982.

We know 8gb isn't enough. But they could sell the 5090 with less ram to reduce costs.

If people want a cheaper card with less vram then they have a product for y'all, it's called the RTX 5080 or 5070 Ti or 5070

I never said it makes a difference for the rich. Heres the thing, just because someone has money, doesnt mean they should just buy every stupid thing. Shocking I know. I can buy the card even as a nonrich guy, but why should I support scummy prices and garbage products just because I can? Hence the stupid part. Rich people can do stupid things and there are rich stupid people just like there are poor stupid people. Another shocking revelation. I know. Didnt you block me?

Most people are hard working and decently smart- we wouldn't have a functioning society if that were not the case. Why is "millionaire" a coveted, rare title rather than a stage of life everyone naturally arrives at through hard work and dedication? It takes luck. You need extremely rich parents to become extremely rich.
bringing up Bezos who had millions of dollars given to him to start Amazon isn't exactly very fair. Especially since I'm willing to bet that him, and a lot of folk on that list have shares in the company who wrote this article.

Oh you are blocked but sadly when someone quotes another person on my ignore list and they post while I am in a specific thread their post shows up
I actually needed to show ignored users just to reply to this
And sometimes people have such poor takes it deserves a response
Not sure if you go out of your way to have terrible takes or you actually believe stuff you post.
Good luck with it either way.

My buddy literally asked me to design a build similar to this for his 5090. It’s all very true.

I am realy curious to see what's the dollar sales like for 4090 compared to lower-end cards like 4060. Are they really making more bank on the flagship card?
vs
It probably costs Nvidia around $500 to build and ship a $4090, the median sell price is like $1800. I don't know how much the AIB's make on them, but you're looking at 400% margins and ~$1300 profit per sell. A $300 4060 generates $150 profit at absolute best, and more probably $100 or less, so you need to sell nearly 10x more to match the profits of the 4090. High end products are cash cows, which is why every company wants to be in the "premium" category, not low budget volume. AMD and Intel are so full of shit they're swimming in it when they spew their bullshit about wanting to be in the entry and mid range, the fact is they couldn't build a 90-class card at any price, Nvidia simply operates in a different generation.
He knows what 99% of his cards are hooked up to, Nvidia's drivers log and report everything, they have mountains of data. He very literally sees them hooked up to $2000 monitors, $5000 TV's, and $3000 AVR's, he's not talking out of his ass here.
