just went to Fox News, it says 2 dead not 4 ??? but what caught my attention was the ad banner above the headline ... auto ads know no mercy (I removed the name of the company from the banner)
personally speaking, I don't come here daily to read about hardware reviews. I come here:
- to read the latest happenings/insights in the tech industry
- to ask/give hardware/software help when it's needed
- to get/give a few chuckles (some of the videos posted here at [H] are the most...
thanks for the heads up - I haven't been tracking the pricing of TR ... the price on the 1900X is very tempting, that will be the CPU used for my next build
that's not the point. The point is while R&D is still going on and improving it until it actually is worth the $$$ people are paying for it, as though it's a done deal already - like what happened with physX
why are so many voting and where are they all coming from (15 pages in what, 2-3 days)? You know, like you with what, 5 posts ?
I wonder how many nVIDIA employees have come here to vote on this :barefoot:
in a different thread Kyle posted the following. Check it out before casting your vote...
I'd rather I pay for them when they actually work well enough to be worth spending my hard earned cash on, not fund nVIDIA's R&D while they are TRYING to develop it
please allow me to put things into proper perspective using a car as an example. I'll sell you my brand new just released to market speedster car for an ultra premium price because it has an option that is going to revolutionize the car driving experience but ... that revolutionary option wont...
"As the company name is stylized, "nVIDIA" is pronounced invidia, a Latin word for envy. This sense is a "looking upon" associated with the EVIL EYE, also derived from the Latin invidere (to look in a HOSTILE manner)." - Quora website
Seems many folks just don't get it ... evil has difficulty...
this could prove to be a good thing for bringing access to rural areas but based on internet access prices to date it' may well wind up being data capped and for much more $$$ like Xfinity's 1 TB cap

I realize the 2080 Ti card is cutting edge and all such tech has always been way over-priced at release and so that those who have the money to burn can get their hands on the tech first no different than way back when when cell phones were the size of a shoe box.
But it's supposed to trickle...
using Nvidia's current pricing scheme pricing the next gen release 2-3 years from now will put the 3080 Ti at about $1899 upon release
1080 Ti was $699 on release, half of that is $3500 then add back in to the $699 and add a bit for inflation and we have the 2080 Ti's price at release ...
Because it's who they are (it's in the very name "Nvidia", look up the meaning) and it exposed Nvidia's real self, who they really are and how they intend to do business. Someone on this page said, " But then how can one sign a deal with the devil! " and IMO they are correct
these prices are what happens when two years of stupid high prices (due to mining) occurs and the Enthusiast crowd gets severely thinned out
as I said, marketing BS. You know, get them salivating for a GPU that costs the price of a still running ok used car
and therein lies a major problem ... no competition but maybe one of these days all the foolish buyers will wake up and stop buying. Then there will be plenty of cards available for miners, oh wait, will they still need GPU's a year from now?
Personally speaking, IMO the pricing is perfectly...
take note how LIMITED QUANTITIES were sent out to Newegg, Amazon, etc so that they posted as SOLD OUT asap ... it's marketing BS and personally I'm weary of it
that's where you and I differ ... I take a man at his word until his word becomes a lie then he's shit out of luck far as I'm concerned ,,, it's called integrity and once ya loose it it's gone. He lied about the release price and lied about the release date but I bet in his mind he was just...
Huang said it would be MSRP @ $999 what part of that would you like me to explain to you?
Is it that it's "only" $200 more? If so I'll give you my email address and then you can send me $200 via Paypal because it's "only" $200
