AMD didn't say it's 5% faster, that was speculation based on the rumored specs. (~5% faster clocks)

The AMD marketing slide, that you embedded in this very thread, says "~5% faster performance" speaking about the 7970GHz. Are you saying they released the slide based on rumored specs and "speculated" the numbers for the graphs? Or do you believe the slide is now fake?

Edit - Nevermind, I see you edited your post.

Yeah I missed it... I just took the 5% boost from the 680 to mean ~5% more.

I take any slides from a manufacturer with a bucket of salt regardless, but this seems to fit the rumors to this point. Who knows if its even from AMD, why would they have a 770 anyway right now?

I was wondering the same thing. Unless they get perks from board partners that have working samples, I don't see how they would have numbers from a competitor's unreleased product.

back to the price question.

if we are willing to pay - nvidia is willing to bump up price. yes we all play the price game with our wallet. point taken.

what some of you are blind to see is: obviously some of us are willing to pay extra premium for top-tier product (670/680/780/titan). we demand top performance above all expense.

if you are NOT willing to do the same. buy a 660 instead. no one is hold a gun to you to pay top premium for a premium product. so get over it.

just like anything in life.
1. if you want a toyota. buy a toyota. stop complaining that ferrrari is too epensive.
2. if you want to eat at applebees. go eat at applebees. stop complaining that 5 star formal resturant is too expensive.
3. if you want payless shoe. buy at payless shoe. stop complaining that foot locker is too expensive.
4. if you want walmart purse. buy a walmart purse. stop complainin that michaelkors/coach is too expensive
5. if you still did not get the point - then CNFS.

The flaw is that the same chip is now going for double the price. (Technically the successor)

By your logic, if you normally buy mid range, settle for low range for the same price. That is just supporting the markup/gouging.

I got 25% off my BMW so your theory is BS.

Just because you want premium items doesnt mean you have to pay the premium. In fact the biggest illusion is that Rolex doesnt give discounts. I can tell you where to get 23% off retail and also no 20% VAT.

Im glad you feel good for paying full price for premium items. :thumbsup:

And you can get discounted designer handbags too! Too bad the people you are trying to impress will only laugh at your last season "trash".

Talk about near perfect timing for Nvidia. The 5870 in my fiancee's kids computer is dying. My plan to give him my current setup and build a new machine around Intels new chip will happen sooner than later. I didnt realize these chips are supposedly coming out at the end of May. I was thinking of getting him a cheapy card for the summer. But now i will just build the new machine now!

Waiting for 20nm™

I'm not interested in anything except Titan and that's too far out of my reach. All these other cards from nVidia are boring and AMD isn't even doing anything.

Wow so now doubling the price/gouging of video cards makes them chic?

I think I've seen every excuse possible now.

People will say anything to justify why they over spent on an item that isnt worth the money. They will defend that position harder than a relative about to be mugged. Thing is.. they are the ones who got mugged.

Only they can make that determination, not you, not I, not the internet. If somebody is willingly parting with money for a product. They must believe they are not overspending for it.

it not about justifying. it is about understanding why it demands a premium.

if you do not agree. buy something else.

Some people on here say GK110 is the follow up chip to the 580 GTX.

So Nvidia doubles the price 18 months later and its not overpriced?

Who can get away with that?

when there is absolutely no competition.

available buyers willing to coin up.

sell it to the highest buyer (who is willing to pay a premium above all else).

-----

There is competition. 7970 CF for £560, 7950 CF for £430, Even Nvidias products are better such as 670 GTX SLI £580

If it is overpriced people wont buy it. And who can get away with that? Whatever company can sell a product to people willing to purchase it. That is who.
