The way NVIDIA is behaving, AMD can never gain significant footprint until it stops playing the 'price bracket' game NVIDIA has set and price their wares more aggressively. At least 70% less.

Price margins have gone out of control in recent years, no doubt because NVIDIA keeps pushing the prices higher. As the sole competitor in the market, AMD needs to fuck NVIDIA over once in a while and bring them back to humility.

...Looking at the way RX 480 is priced against 1060 though, AMD is still quite arrogant. Or is this 'price bracket' bullshit also played by local retailers while ignoring international prices? Too lazy to research this now though.

im sorry, what? Nvidia has always been pricing their flagships at that range, look at legacy products during their release. the reason the prices feel higher has always been due to our recently depreciating currency and inflation.

profit margins for pc hardware are already horrible enough yet you want them to reduce by 70%? seriously? you think those R&D are cheap? doh.gif

AMD recently announced that top of the line cards are not their main focus already, theyre now focusing on capturing the low-mid end range which is significantly bigger than the niche high end market.

i myself, am not happy they way the hardware are priced atm, but these arent necessities, i couldnt careless if i cant catch up to the every latest best tech released. get one of the best you can at that current tech, and enjoy your time with it until its time for the next upgrade.

Well.. seeing that how a 1060 and the 480 is somewhat priced pretty similar here, does quash the 'price advantage' AMD used to have, no?

Heck, I've seen cheaper 1060 around, even.

The problem is, 1080 is not even a flagship. It is a flagship in price, but it is like 3 to 4 skus below the 'Flagship'. Last 3-4 yrs back, nvidia has always releasing the full fat chip as the highest end gpu. But now, since it is lack of competition from AMD, they can release their 3rd or 4th best as the 'flagship'.

As for targeting the mainstream, AMD is not even dominated. They are not focusing the high end, because they don't have the high end chip ready on time. That was just an excuse to me for saying we are focusing on the volume market. Nvidia has equally the same share on that segment as well. And they have all segment covered. RX480 is not that cheaper compare to the equivalent 1060. They are not pricing their mainstream card aggressively. It just another option to consider if you don't like nvidia.

Yes.
R9 280 going at 135sgd, r9 290 at 160sgd.

Is the difference huge? I contemplating whether want to get cheaper card, but the pricing gap is very minimal, i will be gaming at 1920 la.

Rx470 going 900++ if not wrong.
