Edward Snowden criticizes high prices for the GEFORCE RTX 50 video cards

The famous informant of Anb Edward Snowden suddenly spoke about the policy of pricing NVIDIA. In his opinion, the company offers consumers “value of level F at the level of level S”, especially in relation to recently released video cards of the RTX 50 series.

Snowden subjected the NVIDIA RTX 5080, saying that “release of a video card worth more than 1000 dollars In 2025, with the insignificant, 16 GB is a monopolistic crime against the consumer. ” In addition, he believes that Nvidia “5070 had to have at least 16 GB of VRAM.”

Edward says what many PC enthusiasts complain for some time. Prices for video cards rose to crazy heights. In 2017, NVIDIA released RTX 1080 Ti for $ 699. In 2025, she released RTX 5090 for 1999 dollars. With each new release, prices rose, making high -class models of accelerators more and more inaccessible. According to Snowden, endless thoughts about the next quarter reduced the NVIDIA brand to the level of “value of level f of level S”. He believes that:

Today's NVIDIA has a high margin and a dead grip in the PC games market. Moreover, the AI/servers market overshadowed the game as the main source of NVIDIA profit. The company is no longer exclusively a gaming company, and, like all public companies, the shareholder value is more important than providing consumers with greater value.
