Looks like PC gaming is becoming a luxury again. We are the elite, guys

As long as the 1080 I want doesn't go above $560, I won't complain.

It will rise quite sharply in response to demand in October (see OTOY's rendertoken).

Also AMD's offerings at every pricepoint are hyperinflated right now, so lack of competition is another driver of these prices.

RX 550 ---> garbage similar to GT 1030 , both should not be more than $50 but they're somehow $80
RX 560 4GB --> responsible for GTX 1050 Ti increasing , since the GTX 1050 Ti is a faster card , these $150 cards should be ~$100-120 by now since gTX 960 cards are selling for that
RX 570 4GB / RX 570 8GB ... these are supposed to keep the GTX 1060 3GB ripoff in check, but instead they are selling for ~ $250 so it's ludicrous when they're supposed to be ~$180 at most
RX 580 4GB / RX 580 8GB --> responsible for GTX 1060 6GB rising , these are supposed to be $250 tops but instead they are selling for $300+
GTX 1070 due to mining ---> still has $50 or so price premium vs MSRP , should be $300-350 by now
RX VEGA 56 --> responsible for GTX 1080 not dropping
RX VEGA 64 not outperforming GTX 1080 Ti even in select benchmarks also is responsible

1080 Ti stuff is Super High end which before was taken from Dual GPUs.

Yeah. It is good excuse. I do not think you make much with mining now if you buy a Vega or Nvidia card.

GP100 --- no consumer GPU
GP102 --- GTX 1080 Ti
GP104 --- GTX 1080 , GTX 1070 ... GTX 1070 Ti?
GP106 --- GTX 1060 6GB , GTX 1060 3GB
GP107 --- GTX 1050 Ti 4GB , GTX 1050
GP108 --- GT 1030

I'm fairly content with it, though I know it sucks for anyone trying to buy a card at the moment in the mid-range area. I bought a Strix 480 a month or 2 before the mining craze, for $190 new in store. 6 or 7 months later, sold it for a cool $400 on eBay, and turned around and bought a 2 month old MSI 1080 (non Ti) for $470. I'm good for awhile I think.

Internal nomenclature and die sizes do not dictate Nvidia's SRP. Relative performance does.

looks like mid-range to me

relative performance places gp104 in the middle of the nvidia lineup as has always been the case with X04 GPUs. the difference is nowadays they prefer to release mid-range first and hold their cards until amd's response (if any)

I guess I have to elaborate:

Relative performance to the competition and the previous generation.

Only a few months ago, the GP104 was the top card of the bunch.
On release date, if you remove the gtx 1080 ti, the 1080 and 1070 were top end, 1060 and 1050 were mid range, and previous cards were low range.
Now the 1080 TI and titan Xp have just taken over the super lucrative top end were the special cards and dual core used to be.

Relative performance, the 1060 and 1050 are making the mid range the same as the as the 570 and 560 are making the mid range, with the 550 and 540 making the low range.

Personally, I don't like to think of the 1050Ti as mid-range because it's the absolute bare minimum I could tolerate for 1080p gaming.

Nvidia GTX top x60 is suppose to be $200.

1060 6GB is no where near that price.

I bought a GTX 1060 3gb for $200 about a year ago. smh

i agree but amd hasn't competed in the high-end segment (titan, ti) for a while which gave nvidia free reign to restructure the entire market. flagships like the 8800gtx, gtx 280, gtx 580 used to cost $600, and now they sell for double that under the titan moniker . and that's the smart business brains behind nvidia, they kept the traditional number scheme (x60, x70, x80) at the same price points with cheaper gpus while introducing titan as an exclusive premium brand and most people didn't question it (and apparently still don't). no wonder intel wanted to hire jensen as their CEO

If you look at 1080p as the general most used resolution, and medium to high in terms of gaming settings, 1050 ti and 1060 are more than enough for it aren't they?
I would say that is quite spot on in the mid-range definition no?

It can still be found for $200, which is only slightly depressing given what's happened to the GPU market and RAM pricing over the past year.

Where did you get that erroneous idea? NVIDIA's x60 cards have had MSRPs all over the place over the last few generations, depending on die size, memory configuration, and performance vs. the previous generation's offerings. Here's the launch MSRPs since Kepler:

GTX 660 2GB: $299, performed equal to GTX 580 1.5GB at launch
GTX 760 2GB: $249, performed between 660Ti 2GB and 670 2GB at launch
GTX 960 2GB: $199, performed betweeen 670 2GB and 680 2GB at launch
GTX 1060 3GB: $199, performed between 970 4GB and 980 4GB at launch
GTX 1060 6GB: $249, performed equal to GTX 980 4GB at launch

Surely it's annoying that the 1060/6GB can't be found for less than $20 over current MSRP right now, but the mining craze has hit cards with ≥ 4GB of standard GDDR5 pretty hard. Even the 1050 Ti 4GB can't be bought for less than its $139 MSRP right now, as the cheapest ones are currently $145.
