Maybe I would do this if it wasn’t for ZOTAC and it did not demand I join a Discord server.
I’m not playing some fucking game and signing up for a discord server I don’t give a rats ass about to MAYBE get a change to ‘win?’ a chance to buy an overpriced shitty card. Nvidia is dead now
A raffle for US residents to have the privilege of buying a graphics card? Yeah that will solve the problem lol
Yeah. I buy nothing from Nvidia anymore.
I was in the fray for a 3000 during 2020 for cyberpunk. Glad to see they haven’t changed anything on the storefronts. Newegg, best buy, Nvidia, none of them cared to fix anything. They got their money, what do they care.
I’m not a day one persona anymore. Hell there aren’t any games out right now that I want those sick graphics for. More than happy to wait.
But how are you going to play The Sims?
Same for me. I wanted to upgrade from 3070 to 5080, but missed it. I was too afraid to wait for the 5070 TI release, so I instead bought one of the last 4070 Ti Super at MSRP.
I will stop trying to upgrade on day one. Just buy the previous gen a few months before the new one, and it will be perfectly fine.
I do not understand how such practice is still legal. No one care, and it is a plague in more and more fields (I really hope Nintendo will produce enough machines to avoid the PS5 launch fiasco which lasted 2 years).
They saw what scalpers did to ticket prices and decided to implement the same strategy. The problem is not scalpers, it’s easy credit, regards with too easy access to money and purposeful low production to move the scale towards veblen goods.
