Lower GPU prices.
If you need a nVidia card, I agree, prices are through the roof and they need to be lowered.
If you only need it for gaming, 700$ CAD for the 7800XT 16GB is pretty much the sweet spot for performance/price.
The 4070 uses a lot less power, has significantly better ray tracing performance, superior resolution scaling and frame generation(dlss), better encoding/streaming options while being 5-10% slower in rasterization. And it costs around the same. And the 12gB vram arent a bottleneck in any real use so far.
Amd products are way overpriced, especially considering they are in the 2nd place. Amd has made great products in the past but atm, their offers are barely competitive and not a significant deal over nvidia's. And that is a deliberate choice by amd.
They dont want their products to be better, they want to be slightly better offer than nvidia. Amd's 6650xt, 7600 and 7800xt are fine products but they are just fine, not a clearly superior option to nvidia's.
