When both does it and no one argue that is a good thing for it to happen, there is not much to be said back and forth and build a thread.
I think we’re past outrage at this point, I mean we all knew that we wouldn’t see them at that price beyond the initial shipments because <insert any of the multitude of reasons that have cropped up over the last 2 years> so the fact that they actually cost more than that and the stated MSRP is more a long term goal and not a current fact is disappointing but certainly not shocking.
His point is this. If it was Nvidia reported doing this, it would blow the fuck up around here like Watergate.
Pretty sure NVidia already is, they all do it, but yeah, I agree if it were Intel or NVidia there would be more of a "You Bastards!" motif to the thread.
And then everyone would turn around and buy every card NVIDIA could make, just like after GPP. "Your "boo's" mean nothing, I've seen what makes you cheer," comes to mind.
Oh, for sure. People LOVE to hear themselves bitch, but it won't stop them from buying.
I thought the goal was passive-aggressive acceptance? Maybe I'm on the wrong page.
Yeah, everyone thought AMD was some "savior" for some reason as if they aren't also some massive corporation looking to part you from your money.
Found a Trio of old ATI Rage cards in my bits bin, rebuilding the PSU in the P3-700 box I found in a crawl space trying to see if they work.
When the western world turns in '90s Russia those old systems will be the only thing still running long-term TBH.
Really? Go check some different PC subreddits.
If I browsed reddit I probably wouldn't be a member of this forum. Either I'd be disgusted by everyone here or I'd be banned, probably. That said, this isn't reddit, and reddit is full of rabbid consumers... what do you expect?
It is, you are right. But does provide evidence towards the idea of AMD fanboys being a thing outside this forum/thread.
Perhaps I misunderstood the originally quoted post upon re-reading. My apologies.
I have about 40 thousand of those, if you ever want some legitimately.
I’m good with the 3, my current issue is waiting for the ISA to SATA card I ordered not being here that and finding a functional windows 98SE CD….
I'll look around for that cd. I have at least one. ISA to SATA eh, never really thought about trying that.
I really want to avoid spinning drives. I’ve contacted my Microsoft rep and they think they may be able to get an ISO and key added to my VLSC account.
Look up installing windows 98 on an SSD. If I remember correctly, it doesn't work well.
Supposedly that adapter handles the language barrier fairly well. But I have to tweak windows registry otherwise it will attempt to do all the things it would do to keep a spindle drive healthy that will just eat the SSD.
I don't know about that, but I do know I have a crapload of older Kingston 64 and 128GB SSD's in a drawer in my office and thought hey maybe these could work.
Since AMD finally passed Intel in market cap is it time to make Intel my "buddy?"
Of course they did/are. Furthers my point that MSRP should thus be known as MSAP (Manufacturers Suggested Advertising Price).
I can't speak for everyone, but for myself I saw AMD being competitive against Intel is a net good for consumers. Look at the 12400, selling for $170 and beating the 5600X which even with the MC sale is still $230. Really hoping the newer Intel chips force AMD to reevaluate Zen 4s price point.
