I guess they still have plenty of 3000 series stock only reason to have these prices at loony levels.

That extrapolates to a 4050 card at $500 or so.
It is plainly ludicrous and utterly unsustainable.
The steam servey is not perfect, but it gives a broad look at buying trends. The 1060 and later 1660 cards that dominate were $250 cards.
You can perhaps push those buyers to $300 as a consequence of inflation, but the idea that people who spent that in droves, will suddenly start spending double is risible.

nah my gaming days are behind me.
i still game a bit. but i would not call me a gamer.
the games i have played (and really enjoyed) in the last 10 years i can count on one hand.
most stuff is nice eye candy these days but does not excite me.
skyrim was the last game i spend way too much time with.
i was really "embedded" in that game.
or give me a new half-life. give me something like that and i am willing to spend my free time gaming.
i would love to have games like C&C or age of empires that i can start and play for an hour or two.
but they are either boring these days or they try to be so "deep" / complex that i would need to spend way too much time to get good at it.
i may play the death space remake. the original was a game i liked.

Intel are making progress maybe in 2 gens they will have caught right up and if you wanted a budget card they are worth trying atm, thou i feel amd do give them a run for the money with the 6700's.
Nvidia will soon change tatics once the other two are taking market share and realistically there will be a price war but idk if intel can afford too just yet.
These prices suck thou just as you say intel or 2nd hand last gen, no one needs these cards.

as a non gamer i can only hope that the PC gaming market will collapse.
let people buy consoles.
a collapse that reduces the PC gaming market to 40% what it was before.
people buy consoles with AMD GPU´s and ngreedia gets fu.....
well i can dream.
I can't see how you expect that to be a good thing. You just said you want a monopoly, which means it would only get worse.
why would it be a monopoly?
the digital camera market has reduced more than 50% in the last decade and is no monopoly now.
the individual companys just sell less volume.
nvidia needs to learn a lesson.
nvidia is the company with the biggest share of the gaming market. it would hit them harder.
especially when the customers switch to consoles with AMD GPU´s.
when gamers don´t buy nvidia and they suddenly have less revenue it sure helps more to hammer the message home than the sheeps buying overpriced GPU´s.
so no.. i am not saying i want a monopoly, not even close.
