Talking total profit, not profit per unit, or revenue. Take the profit per unit, multiply it by unit sales, and get the total profit for an entire segment of cards.
Is it the cards in the 150 price range? 200? 250? 300? 329? 399? 500? There seem to be a good number of 780ti cards sold, the profits per unit are likely extreme, but is that their bread and butter segment?
I thought the most important segment was around 200 dollars, but maybe that has shifted up to the 300 dollar mark.
EDIT: Part of the reason for the question is that both gpu makers seem to focus on the higher end to mid high end for new gpu launches. nvidia just launched a new flagship at 500 dollars, while the other card came in at 329. The 200-300 dollar cards based on newer tech seem to come much later. Is that because it is less important in terms of total profits gained, or simply because the gpu makers want as many people to go to a higher tier of card to get the latest gpu tech as possible, so they go higher end first?
