AMD calls their RX 7900 XT the "Fastest GPU Under $900"

We still think this GPU costs too much.



Read more about AMD's RX 7900 XT being the "fastest GPU under $900".

I was hearing (LTT I think) that Nvidia's profits - PROFIT's not net income, is up 60%


I know this is about AMD, but how much profit is AMD making on a GPU that's using slightly older nodes? I know they're cheaper than Nvidia, but I think both companies are not just being cheeky, but down right insulting and money grabbing.

There is a lot of cosying up going on here.

There is no competition here at all, just price matching. AMD started this with Navi, and have just continued on.

All the more reason to vouch for Intel tbh. As it seems they are the only company willing to cut prices.

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if Nvidia and AMD have a WhatsApp chat group discussing prices and agreeing on what 'should' be charged. It's like barbers in one city all agreeing to charge the same amount; and when they're ready to increase prices all do it simultaneously so that consumers have no choice.

I will give AMD the benefit of the doubt, I don't think they're trying to monopolise, I just think AMD look at Nvidia's prices and performance, and just undercut Nvidia slightly.


They both look at the price of "what the market can bear".
It's the same with smartphones.

But notice how TV's are all but touchscreen smartphones now? Yet they are physically cheaper than phones, and yet dozens of times larger. Most now run a version of android.


So why are smartphones so expensive? Because people keep buying them.
Stop buying them and the prices have to come down.

Well Jen and Lisa are related so it doesn't take an awful lot of working out really.

Daz. They are not monopolizing it's more price fixing.

So it has come to this? Bragging that their high-end GPU is under $900 like they're giving it away for free.
