    If price increases every generation are going to become "the new norm"....the market will likely start shrinking as a result.

    The cost of the actual components has also increased, since the boards are more complicated than the previous generations(for power efficiency reasons), you take, the increased cost of raw silicon, increased lithography cost (lower yields due to larger chips), and increased dram cost, increased board cost,increased R&D cost ,and it paints a pretty clear picture as to why graphics cards are getting more expensive.

    the number of customers is also increasing, it can still grow, even with increased cost, albeit more slowly.

    It's being fixed but it might affect some of the reviews measuring idle voltage depending on how much higher it is. :)

    The 'gaming market' may increase, but probably more in the direction of consoles than PCs (if the latters higher cost continues).

    Hi @Hilbert Hagedoorn

    Can you do to yours testing suite as well Blender and V-RAY for GPU, I would be very appreciated for this

    More and more people use their GPUs for rendering like I do

    Thanks in advance

    Lots of folk are still eager to upgrade every year for the latest and greatest. Though I think that will slow down on the high-end cards.
