It'll be a GeForce Now future.

Yeah I think so too, eventually it'll be too expensive to buy their cards to have at home and the differences between the cards you can actually afford and what you can get through cloud computation will be too big to ignore.
Pray that you live near a server…

Just as expected, some NVIDIA GPUs have dropped significantly in price since the 9070 XT was released (I got my 5070 for 480€). In contrast, AMD's GPUs haven't dropped much.

Exactly, when you check each card's MSRP you'd think people is stupid for buying NVidia's ones but once you see real prices it makes a lot of sense sadly.

5070 and 9070 got the same MSRP in Europe (630€), but the reality is that you can buy the 5070 for 570€ or less nowadays, while the cheapest 9070 goes for 670€.

Same goes for the 9070XT vs the 5070TI, the MSRP difference is 200€, but real price difference is 50-100€ max.

The ideal option right now for anyone looking for one of these cards is to wait for a flash deal on a 5070 or 5070ti, which happens almost every week, since sadly there's no deals at all on AMD ones.

On the cheaper range i must say the 9060XT is actually selling at it's MSRP right now, but i bet this won't last long, so hurry if you are interested.

Holy shit, in just 2 years gaming went from being half their revenue to like barely 10%?

Buckle up PCMR, RTX 6000 is gonna be even more expensive for it to be worth it for them.

If you thought the GPU market was bad during the crypto mining years…

Bingo.

 

[Astray]

Holy crap I forgot about that one, imagine if that had gone through.

Would have been a doomsday scenario for all tech players imo.

Have been waiting for the 9070 xt to drop it's price for a while now but the lowest I've seen it is $850. I ended up getting a 5070 near msrp. This is completely on AMD due to price and availability.

Yeah, if this is the real street price, that's dumb. And there is no tariff excuse in Europe.

Not sure what Tarif's would have to do with company relative pricing - I'm pretty sure both of them are getting tariffed in US equally.

Also - a side note (because again, it affects all US based companies) but Europe pricing has always been inflated due to added taxes/tariffs.
On average it's 1.5x higher to US pricing - and that stays consistent even when Fx changes (they adjust prices to compensate so it never drops below).
The worst I've seen is for some products getting pegged to GBP (so 100USD = 100GBP + 20% Taxes) - where indeed it goes higher than 50% delta.

It's the most galling with digital products (eg. 80Euro games to 70 USD) where it's entirely a market gouging exercise though.

Some of the excuses for AMD street pricing in US have been tariffs.

It's crazy to see premium brands go under so much. I remember when intel was peak

 

[pulicat]

Nvidia dominated because their GPU's prices in many countries are actually cheaper or in the same price range as their competitors GPU. No one is going to buy overpriced AMD GPU when DLSS, RT and MFG are the essentials part of pc gaming right now.

Neural rendering is real and it is coming starting with blackwell generation. I suspect Nvidia driver issues is because of the paradigm shift in Blackwell

While amd is only talking about fsr4, Nvidia has moved into AI renderers… who says Nvidia don't care about gaming graphics?

 

[Ronin_7]

Those are mostly for clusters and sure are paying off for Nvidia.

However an "overlooked" factor behind gaming revenue growth may be the increasing diversion of high-end consumer GPUs into small-scale AI operations. As demand for AI compute spreads beyond large data centers to startups and independent developers, some gaming-class GPUs – especially higher-end RTX cards – are being repurposed for machine learning workloads.

Bought a 9070 xt and feel great about it.

Hopefully the 9060 xt and 9070 xt claw some marketshare back.
