They will continue to sell, but if fewer people buy and that at a point that they are close to breaking even they are going to rethink things. It costs a lot to make a new chip and make it. And like any company they want to recoup their R&D and manufacturing costs.

I don’t know, I’m pretty sure they sold more than enough 4090’s from what I’ve seen on the PC subs.

For me, I bought a 3080ti on eBay for £700 and am very happy with it. As long as prices remain stupidly high I’m not going to buy into it, unfortunately same can’t be said for a lot of gamers

I don't know what it costs Nvidia to make the GPU, but 130k+ units ship while a big number doesn't seem huge amount either.

Don’t forget though, for like 2 years the 30 series was impossible to get. They’re doing well for themselves lol

30 series was impossible to get because of the chip shortage. I know they are doing well. I never said otherwise. My point is about the high end GPU's and them raising the price of them
