Everyday we see these YouTubers receiving more cards to review, most of them now have 5-10 cards each, which lets face it is crazy when big companies like OC are getting handfuls only weekly.
Yes i know first world problems as such but it is kind of a stab in the back to real consumers trying to get a card when these get multiple .
I agree totally, I saw a recent video by hardware unboxed and the Australian guy actually came across as a really smug ******* as he opened box after box of 3090 and 3080 cards knowing full well no paying customer could get one - it’s the first content I’ve watched where I simply thought “your actually a smug *******” and actually unsubbed. I don’t like smug *****.
How he thought that opening box after box of free hardware, just to unbox the hardware that paying customers are all waiting to get and cannot, was a good idea for a video is beyond me..... *******.
He came across as a total **** frankly.
If anything this nvidia Ampere release has made me so want AMD’s Big navi to be a winner because if it’s even close to the 3090 performance-wise Ngreedia can kiss my ass because that preorder will be cancelled quickly as possible.
The whole Ampere release for me has tarnished Ngreedia permanently and there is nothing positive about it now, it’s left a bad taste that I won’t forget as a consumer.
I also think very much that Ngreedia will shaft all the early adopters very soon by releasing the better SKU lineup as they did with the 2080 Super which will comprise of the same cards with more memory and possibly even a 7nm TSMC version as well - just for a real kick in the teeth for its earliest adopters.
I honestly think that this kind of practise will do Ngreedia more damage than good and it will steer people towards AMD if it is even close to being as good as Ampere.
Why these people cannot announce a release and actually tell everyone what their full card SKU lineup will be on that release day is beyond me.
That way people could target a specific card for their needs and then sit tight and wait for it, because I predict there will be a lot of very upset 10gb 3080 owners and a lot more 3080 and 3090 owners on Samsung equally ****** off early next year when they release a TSMC variant that uses half the power the current 8nm node does, I think anyone with a remote interest in tech and what’s going on can see that coming early next year as Ngreedia have bought millions of TSMC 7nm memory modules - I assume as AMD go to the 5nm node.
The dishonesty and refusal of Ngreedia to release their full SKU line up really really ***** me off and it will others. - I really hope AMD screw them
