5070 Ti prices...

[CyberPsycho]

I heard that they're gonna be nowhere close to the promised $750, I feel like Huang did this on purpose, especially now with the tarrifs. I wonder if he'll get away with a slap on the wrist, or will the shareholders as much as bother firing a stock price warning shot.

The shareholders are smiling with glee at these prices. What is happening is exactly what shareholders want. Us, the enthusiast PC market are now small fish against the AI industry that are buying productivity NVIDIA cards with insane mark ups.

 

Why would NVIDIA sell us a 5070TI at $750 with likely slim margins when they can sell that A6000 at reported 2000% profit margin?

 

You're no longer NVIDIA's target consumer.

Shareholders would only be unhappy if he was asking high prices and nobody bought them. As long as people keep buying, shareholders are happy. The more profit they make the happier they are.

Where did you hear this? 4070 Super variants launched at their MSRP and stayed that way for quite a while. I don't see any reason for them not to meet their promised MSRP on release.

A couple of weeks ago you still could've easily bought a 4070 Super for 650$ at Amazon. And then the shortage hit and board partners like Asus took full advantage of it. Idk how much can you blame Nvidia for the current pricing considering that this hit AMD as well.

There might be a few models that are at $750, but it's looking like most of them are going to be a lot higher. They never promised you that it would be $750, and they never tell you that every card will be that price, this year it's just board partners capitalizing a little more and raising the prices. Huang isn't entirely to blame for board partner pricing. Tariffs are also out of the companies control, as this is imposed at an import level by the government. You want the card, you pay the import tariff, and pass the cost on to the consumer. On something with low margins like a graphics card, you're more likely to see something close to the 25% increase. Which is almost what I think happened here and Microcenter increased pricing before the tariffs were finalized (IIRC China is currently 10%, not 25%, but who knows with the way Trump throws them around).

 

Stock holders will be thrilled. These cards will sell, they'll profit more. The only person who ends up getting burned are gamers who can't/won't pay the higher price.

 

Great time to dive into the arena of used PC parts.

Nvidia isnt the one that raised the prices here. 
if the card sells for 750, or 900, nvidia doesnt see an extra 150.  The shareholders are not getting that cream.
