Get off my post with that stuff, solve your problem elsewhere. *looks at other posts* man, you need help, just stop and think abit.
 


like AMD does with advertising crossfire, yet crossfire doesn't work the way it should?
 
I hope gamers and fans alike start standing up for their hard earned money and stop paying ridiculous starting prices for the newest model. It's downright humiliating to the consumer who supports the product and brand name. Never again.

Were you born yesterday or something? Welcome to the technology world, where anything after 2 months has already become or on it's way to becoming outdated.

What do you expect? For them to sell a product at cost? They're a BUSINESS and their purpose as a BUSINESS is to make money. Those who want the latest and greatest end up paying a premium. That's how sales work in any industry.

Want a lower price tag? Then you wait until the price drops. Ridiculous for anyone to come here and whine about if they'll get a refund on the difference from a card they purchased 2 months ago. You don't go and buy a new model car for MSRP and then expect they're going to give you the difference back when they have a clearance or sale.

So what if because of AMD they lowered prices, until then they didn't have to. Welcome to supply and demand. Don't think AMD would be any better with their pricing if Nvidia wasn't around.

 
"Never ever support a company that constantly rips its customers off whenever it gets the chance. It's just pathetic how quickly people forget. Shocking even!"

Right, like ATi/AMD, Intel are better to customers, not.
 


On the CPU side, Intel rips off their customers too for those that buy retail desktop CPU's. Why buy a 4770 for $310, when I can buy a 1240 v3 for $276? Most people buying retail chips probably won't be using Intel's crappy IGP. Unless you are an overclocker, buying a k series chip, i7's are a waste of money. AMD isn't any better with their useless APU's. You can buy a 750k/760k and HD 7750, for roughly the same cost as a 6800k, and have a far better performing setup. Having to wait on their CPU refresh for each new gen because they cannot get it right the first time is getting old too.
 


You should talk to a friend that works in a electronics retail store sometime. You think graphics cards are marked up? You have no idea how much gaming accessories and the like are marked up in pricing from cost to the store. Bose, Razer, etc they're all 40-200% marked up at minimum

HDMI cables? 200-500% easily.

They're a business, not a non-profit organization. As I mentioned before supply and demand.
 
I hope you guys enjoyed the OP cards you bought while back. LoL

I guess now nVidia figures it can't play the high price graphics card setup anymore. But you know you'll always have your fan boys which I use to be. Now as I go to purchase a new card it's just not which model of nVidia card to get but which 2 companies to go with.

However back in the day it was not that hard to decide on a card since ATI's best card back in the day I'm talking about was the All-In-Wonder.
 


They rip people off when there is nobody else to tell them otherwise, when AMD releases a product that is somewhat quicker for less, they have to drop prices, if the 780 is to be sold at all it has to be at a lower price point, and surely whatever they lose on this they have/will make up with the 780Ti/Titan
 
did everybody forget last season when nvidia admitted that each gk110 they were making would cost them about $20 to produce? intel admitted that same line to about the bread and butter i3's cost them about $15 a pop.
 
Bought a Classified 780 yesterday on Newegg for $580 (though for some bizarre reason its listed @ $700 today?). I feel like an OC 780 is "right now" the current sweet spot in the upper tier of cards. I prefer EVGA, but an argument could be made for almost any of the tweaked 780s, particularly if they are coming in at prices close to the R9 290X.

I'm impartial to the Nvidia/ AMD branding, I just want what is best when I lay down money every 3 - 5 years on computer parts. My argument this time around is that for $30 more you get the same (or in some cases, better) performance out of an aftermarket 780 than an R9 290X, AND better cooling, acoustics and power consumption. Plus I feel like I won't be exposing myself to the possibility of driver issues that often come along with a new card (not saying there are any, but history has taught me this lesson).

I knew I was getting a new card, and was actually very close to ordering an R9, but wanted to wait for the inevitable Nvidia price drops and the 780Ti release. Well the price drops came, and probably more than I expected - and while I haven't seen any performance reviews yet released on the 780Ti, at $700 I can't imagine that its performance will justify that cost. Though I certainly expect it to be at the top when it comes out. I suppose the only thing I might possibly regret not waiting for are the aftermarket solutions for the 290X, but if you let yourself, the waiting game becomes forever.

Plus AMD had its turn in my rig for the last 3+ years, I want to see how green the grass is on the other side this time around.
 
So does anyone know when tigerdirect and newegg will start honoring this pricing structure? Do we have to wait for them to move product out for a while or something. I still don't see these prices anywhere and they said it was effective as of today, October 29th.

I noticed that Amazon keeps removing the EVGA GTX780 SC ACX (not from the whole site, just from their own personal market place as a seller). It disappears for a while, then returns, happened three times since yesterday.

Does anyone think they will actually lower the price again for xmas or black friday???
