Who's gonna want 2 yr old cards now that we're seeing prices fall for current gen cards and the new gen is around the corner?. nvidia getting that kick to the shin is funny, but I find the one in the article, that little bit more funnier, because he acts like it's an us issue, not a scalper/miner/nvidia issue. |
Its actually nice to see consumers have not stand up to this crap anymore and leaving them dry. They've been screwing us over over the last two years and taken advantage of the situation and going for short term gain. PC gamers have accepted that GPU prices are overpriced as the market has been totally screwed by mining. And they kinda bought it upon themselves.
That and restrictions have largely levied for several countries so people are spending less time and money on electronics and PC stuff and more on other things - particularly people who bought stuff on fomo during the peak of the pandemic. Whats left are the people who have been waiting for GPU prices to come back to normality which hasn't happened yet and like you said next gen is coming real soon.
And yeah that's what they get for going for short term gain from a volatile business's. Its also a good sign because Nvidia and AMD won't dare rise prices (for RTX/RX cards) that high because the demand just isn't there for GPU's at current price points.
