Keep doing that and all it will do is steer people towards prebuilts or consoles.

except it won't.

They raise prices and still sell out.

They have no reason to lwoer prices knowing they will still sell.

Scalpers showed them they were underpricing stuff when they could just scalp themselves.

I don’t think anyone who was looking at a $2400 graphics card is switching to a console because it went up to $2700. They may kick up a stink online, but the PS5 Pro is architecturally similar to a RX 6800, and even if it punches above it’s weight due to optimization those cards would still not compete with each other.

so a 10% tarriff makes a 20% increase? The tarriff is on wholesale cost too, not retail. So realistically it'd be about a 7.5% or so to consumers. but whatever.

And that is why I stay with my 7900 XTX and am perfectly happy with it.
I have better things to do than chasing the performance rainbow.

who cares? I used to ask 5 000 000 000 000$ for a unicorn, but now Im raising the price by 10%. there, same thing.

Zotac is doing what Ticketmaster did for years through their Tickets Now subsidiary where they were both supplier and scalper for event tickets. And with a lack of competition at the highest end now, Nvidia cards might as well be rebranded N’Drangheta for their extortionist pricing.

I recall a story about nvidia pricing their chips extremely high and barely leaving any margins for AIBs.
It's part of the reason why EVGA exited.

The new norm:

I'm pretty sure 'greed' is the old normal, it's been a global human trait since the dawn of bread.
