Can't really talk about AMD but NVIDIA are at a position to drop every other model except for the x90 without major repercussions. Hell they can even go full enterprise selling these A1000 at a ridiculous profit margin. For NVIDIA at this point the gaming GPU market is just a "good to have". Artificial segmentation in VRAM aside the chips are just too good to service the consumer market so they might as well sell them for silly money. They don't particularly care about selling the gaming GPUs because they aren't losing anything not doing so
I wonder to what extent the lower tier cards are just under performers from the same high tier process.
