This is how hardware should work! Overtime what was bleeding edge is now the norm and as such should be priced accordingly..... Looking at you Nvidia
nVidia GPUs:
970GTX was 329$ in 2014
1070GTX was 379$ in 2016
2070RTX was 499$ in 2018
3070RTX was 499$ in 2020
4070RTX is 599$ in 2023
Probably, the 5070 in 2025-6 will be 650-700.
Lol a 4070 in Canada is $1200.
Yeah, but Canadian dollars?
Well yeah, but the exchange rate isn't that bad. Our prices are just astronomical.
Direct conversion for $599 USD to Canadian dollars works out to about $800. NVIDIA has just decided that they can get more than that out of us with regional pricing
