Sure, 500-600 euros isn’t up to it, but that’s how the marketing team wants to try and get away with it. However, Steam shows a completely different picture, as old video cards of a few hundred euros are the norm and not 500-600 euros. Of the four types with a large market share each, three are clearly underpriced, only the RTX 2060 was cheap around 500 euros, but also enough to find around 400 euros at the time, and around 300 euros new is also available today. So 2060 gets a little more market share and, judging from the whole life cycle, it is certain that as the holidays approach, the average is beyond and below the 500-600 euro range.

After those four, the list immediately jumps to cards with less than 3% market share for each chip type on Steam, where you can also find quite a few on the older x50, x60 and x70 to bring out the best real models. 3080 is 1.5% and 3090 is 0.5% albeit long in the market and 3080 also has a moment of less than a thousand euros, and this too can be called a place in the market with a low percentage of market share and only a few SKUs in this Performance band exist in the list, while many other cards are close together, especially around the mainstream segment around a few hundred euros, there are many SKUs sometimes only a few tens of price difference.
That’s right, a new iPhone costs more than a thousand dollars, but in the meantime many people are buying and using second and third-hand iPhones, at much lower prices. You obviously need to have enough initial buyers to keep up with something like this, but if only 40% of your ecosystem says they bought new and things last long enough anyway, you can enjoy managing a system environment a lot more. bigger than what it actually looks like you think. The other 60% didn’t have to pay that exorbitant price either.
