The Tech Buyers Guru has updated their Video card rankings with the newly introduced maxwell cards and current market pricing.

I guess the rate used to be "doubling every 18-24 months"? Which would put it at 2007=1x, 12.2009=2x, 12.2011=4x, 12.2013=8x, 12.2014 = 16x. We're not there even if the large 980 ti brings 50% more.
It feels like nothing changes dramatically, since we have only got tiny bumps since 2010. At least the prices are finally back down to earth.
It's the first time in a long time when NV has a great card for a good price. I guess AMD will have to drop prices at some point.
+1 for competition.
Take a look at the pricing trends:
The 6x speed was brought down to earth a lot quicker then the other trends.

Does that mean that the market doesn't support the extremely high prices, or is it to hard to correlate anything like that from the chart.

It's interesting to see the concrete improvements....
Based on this history, we have doubts that the amazing new GTX 970, offering unheard of performance at its suggested retail price of $330, will actually remain broadly available at that price. If it does, it will be the most game-changing product since the awesome 8800 GT, on which our Speed Rating system is based. That card was released in October 2007 for $300 - and so, accounting for inflation, the GTX 970 on paper offers an impressive six times the performance as that card for the same price, translating to nearly one Speed Rating added for each of the seven years since the 8800 GT's debut.
