PC Master race should be renamed to Waiting Master Race

Given that those Tesla cars feature Navi 23, a chip that AMD hasn't even revealed yet, we're more like the WTF Race right now.

People are also paying for those prices so they can get away with it. Tbh there should be a law in place to stop retailers from fixing and overcharging customers. Its bad enough that AiB's are doing it.

Now its like a double whammy and thats not even considering the miners are sweeping up said cards :/ I just think the FE cards were a scam to begin with. Nvidia weren't going to sell a lot of those cards and were never going to stick with MSRP with board partners.

There are already laws that regulate the market, but they're often quite lax because only "comminist" countries control the market too much and control how business operate.

Remember what they say, "the market regulates itself" .

I've gone back and forth, but at this point I think I may skip and just build a whole new rig when the next gen comes around. Hopefully next time it won't be such a shitshow.

I hope both you and hinch keep in mind that next time you upgrade, probably to Alder Lake (the Intel CPUs that will come late this year or the next one) or Zen4, you'll face the transition to DDR5 and, if history repeats itself, that will cause lots of RAM shortages and ridiculously expensive memory kits.

Sadly, things won't really much better the next time.
