Need Graphics Card Advice

I think what people forget about hardware is that the companies have spend money on research and development for the new product. This also plays a part in the costing as it's not just the component costs they have to cover. Software on the other hand costs you to develop, but you can just basically copy paste from then on out and make pure profit once development costs are covered.
 
The launch cards, always high-end, for a series are used to cover development costs. It's the cheaper cards that manufacturers make their money from.
