Article is a bit old but still relevant and how gamers are being screwed.
It’s true, but it was true of every GPU launch for the last three years or so. I’m not trying to excuse it but it’s not exactly news.
It’s still good to be reminded that corporations are not your friend and we should be demanding better with our wallets.
If you show up in person it was not, but the resale market and board partners kind of screwed this up.
AMD and Intel both need to be launching FEs and pushing the price down and making these board partners look bad.
Buys a B580 at MSRP
Laughs in smooth framerates in 1080p with all that extra money in pocket
I am gaming what I got until it breaks.
Fuck these parasites.
6600XT gang rise up!
RDNA2 represent
Best 16GB of VRAM I ever did buy (RX 6800 for USD$400)
Seriously, I mostly just play indie games because AAA games tend to be shallow and boring and cheaper gpus do me just fine.
My trusty GTX 970 was doing almost everything I needed it to do (the only bummer being it couldn’t run HellDivers2 smoothly) but it died this week. The B580 was available at MSRP so I jumped on it. It is at least twice as powerful as what I used to have so I’m confident I won’t find it under powered for anything I’ll throw at it for the next 5 years.
Playing in 4K with raytracing is just not worth paying an extra $700+ to scalpers and price gougers for. I bet you stop noticing the difference after 5 minutes of gameplay.
Living the dream!
Lol - somebody didn’t pay their graphic designer: “PUKE”.
The S in MSRP stands for “suggested”
I can’t believe this is true. If I’d known, I never would’ve looked at the MSRP.
