>$300 is now considered mid-range for GPUs
What went wrong? And how can we blame Nvidia?

>300
Try 225. 300 is upper midrange to lower high, 400 is high, 500+ is ultra.

>better things cost more
whoa
>>334344629
I can get a 290 for 200 easily and @60fps 1080p I can play everything perfectly.
>>334344629
you can blame AMD for not competing at all for so many years.

Blame Nvidia fandom and "gamers" falling for marketing hype.
I hope Nvidia never fixes it's DX12 performance issues. Next gen is goin to be funny when AMD wrecks Nvidia.
they stopped improving as fast but they still push meme resolutions like 4k and 2k
It's called technology.

Its gonna be GeForce FX all over again if that happens.

Amd has been competitive in the GPU market, the CPU market is where they've tucked up big time
What went wrong is no one but the most hardcore enthusiasts feeling the need to upgrade because every fucking game is a console port that is playable on a toaster.

A 970 is not mid range. Being able to max out new games is not mid range.
The 960 is mid range, and it's ~$180.
Seems normal to me.
$300 is midrange now because AMD, while putting out decent enough cards isnt competing aggressively with nvidia.
If they put it a shit card, Nvidias "midrange" ends up better and they either price match that card or its so bad nvidia doesnt need to reduce their prices to compete.
If they put out a decent card, they just jack up the price to meet Nvidias price. But in the end they fuck themselves over because Nvidia Jews devs to optimize for their card over AMD IE: Gameworks.
This goes back to my first point, AMD doesnt really need to put out a card that matches Nvidias performance 1:1. If they just reduce their prices drastically they could gain a large marketshare back. The increase in buys would probably get them more money than what they get now selling so many fewer cards compared to nvidia. That would also force Nvidia to possibly cut their prices since the difference between AMD and nvidia hasn't been drastic.
>in b4 AMD shill, Im using a 980
Also, Nvidia purposely fucks over the previous generation of cards when a new one is close to launching. Look up the FPS difference when Bethesda patched their Fallout mod for Skyrim
>tfw you basically need an R9390 or 970 to hit 60 FPS on games released in the past 2 years
>>334347090
Even if Nvidia fucks up in DX12, idiots will stil buy it over AMD cards. Just look at the 3.5 meme. People still buy that shit despite knowing they are getting gimped.
Why do mods keep pruning threads with discussions that are alive?

The 980 ti is a mid range gpu considering high range systems start at dual gpu setups

But 300 is not considered mid range fucktard. cards like r9 380 can get you 1080p 60 fps in high settings, that card is in the 200 price range.
r9 390/memecard 970 are much better and it's in the 300 price range.
You posted this bait in that other thread a while ago, fuck off.
>>334344629
GPU prices have been like that for 10 years now.
Only major change was Nvidia raising the price of top end models with the 780ti. They launched a $700 GPU and people actually bought it.
