4090 prices have been going up and are theorized to continue rising in cost. They start at $1700 and go up to $3200 now.
$1200 for an AD103 die is absurd, in my opinion (though I know I’m not alone). Honestly, I don’t think it would be unfair for the 4080 to drop to $950 and the theorized 4080 Super to drop in at $1100.
Though, I personally believe that $950 for an AD103 die is still too much. The 3080 was on GA102 die and had a MSRP of only $800. Die foe die comparison, the 4080 would fall between the 3070 ti ($600) and 3080 ($800)… $700. Adjust for margins and inflation and costs, etc., sure $800 would be fair.
The 4090 can cost whatever Nvidia wants it to cost; it’s unmatched in performance and is the best out there. $2000? The consumers who want this would still pay. But Nvidia made it clear last gen; 3080 is top of the line for gaming and the 3090 was more in line with the Titan class cards of generations prior. So, if they wanna add a little more margin on top of that $800 I mentioned earlier; sure, go for it. $850 still seems fair enough. But $950, $1100, and $1200 are all way too much.

But thats just my two cents.
Love the 4090 price raises. Means when I get a 5090 I can resell it for a good chunk of change.
