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.Price margins have gone out of control in recent years, no doubt because NVIDIA keeps pushing the prices higher.

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?
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.
