The AMD RX 6600 and RTX 2060 remain the best deals in existing GPUs. But if you can wait until Black Friday, you may see the best graphics card deals in years.
What GPU to Buy if You Can't Afford Nvidia's Ada or Wait for AMD's RNDA3 : Read more
You know, and I know Nvidia is playing games with us, hoping we don't catch on! First of all the CEO blamed the higher prices on "cost of build goods". That's BS! When you find the specs on each build (4080,4080 and 4090) and examine the Cuda core counts, the GPU core models, there's too much wiggle room (think where they go next for like 4099ti and such) to be so far above the 16gig 4080, but the OTHER 4080 has 12gig and a different core build!
Next, and this should tick off us consumers, Nvidia is purposely keeping the 30 series prices high to manipulate us into buying the "closeouts" at current prices to recoup some of their loses from losing the cryptomining business, and the highly inflated prices they were able to charge during the pandemic lockdowns! In short, they want their cake and eat it too! The TRUTH is Nvidia has thousands of overstock on 30 series graphics cards, but he's holding stock back instead of dropping the prices and selling them off! This should irritate buyers into going to AMD and leaving Nvidia holding the bag for their evil deeds!
We know they're trying to control the market in a destructive manner, because EVGA dropped the entire graphics card lines! (Hint: EVGA stands for what? Extended Video Graphics Array!!) So to lose EVGA and try to shrug it off as nothing, should tell us all we need to know!
Is the 40 series going to be good? Yes! But is it worth paying them significantly higher profits for? Sorry Nvidia! I'm dropping YOU, just like EVGA! Bu-BYE!
