My main problem with the USD200 price tag is that it is already on top of a premium that traditionally comes with choosing an NV card over the AMD equivalent (the cryptocoin mining craze notwithstanding).

I am pretty sure that the premium will fall over the next 12 months. So does GPU costs.
It is worth more than $200 worth of motion quality upgrade as G-SYNC successfully makes stutter-free 45fps look visually better than stuttery 75fps.

I'd assume the premiums should fall harshly once the design is finalized and the FPGA solution is replaced with an ASIC.

Agreed. I believe that VRR technologies (GSYNC, FreeSync) will probably become widespread in gaming monitors within 3 years.TheExodu5 wrote:I'd assume the premiums should fall harshly once the design is finalized and the FPGA solution is replaced with an ASIC.
For the next few years, it will be a slow fall from a $150-200 premium, due to economics / market demand, and the long time it takes for ASICs to be designed.
