| JEMC said: Those deals are great, of course, but it's a shame that only the highest end get them. The cost of the mid and lower end cards hasn't changed a bit in the last months, at least over here. |
True, its mainly the high end stuff seeing big drops in retail. If you check the used market find some good deals on there too for lower end/mid range cards. Granted some of them are likely to cards that have been mined on.

I swear Jay is gonna come out of this with a huge L over his face. Dude could have just apologised in a new vid, but nope lol, gonna ride that "buy now" train till it runs right off the rails. Gotta say, I've lost some respect for the guy after this shitfest. Tech Yes is goofing up a bit as well with his whole "buy used...but don't forget to benchmark the fuck out of the used cards to tell if it's been mined or not" (which not everyone is gonna fucking do, myself included). |
Yeah almost 1M views and quite a substantial dislike ratio. Not that it do anything to his channel but for a lot of people it leaves a bit of a bit of bad taste. Especially calling people idiots for not buying a graphics card now and some FUD sprinkled on top. He's just going to sweep it under a rug alongside his other bad takes and clickbait videos.
And true, the used market is a minefield (no pun intended). Its easy to get burned on marketplaces and from resellers, definitely not for everyone.
