Are Video Card Prices Finally Starting To Fall? (Mar 2018)

2018-03-21
hey guys glad to see you here once again Before we jump into today's video let's check out a word from today's sponsor of course there the dark core RGB se gaming mouse is where wire performance goes Wireless with an ultra fast low latency wireless bluetooth connection you know you're getting the same performance as you would with a wired mouse but if you still prefer that wire the dark core RGB se comes wired as well the dark core RGB se also features key wireless charging so you can charge the mouse on any compatible charging pad or with the Corsair mm 1000 mouse pad for top performance and with the 1600 dpi optical sensor the ultra accurate high-speed tracking engine can be custom tuned to virtually any type of mousepad and for custom comfort the dark core RGB se comes the two interchangeable side grips to fit your playing style and oh yeah the dark core also comes with customisable three zone backlighting so if you're an RGB fan they've got you covered the dark core RGB se also comes with high performance Omron switches which are rated for 50 million clicks that's right 50 million clicks so you won't have to worry about your mouse cutting out on you anytime soon and last but not least using the Q software you can fully program any of the nine buttons for total control and customization so if you're looking for a mouse that can handle the best of both worlds both wired and wireless check out the dark core RGB se from Corsair well the mouse and the commercial you just saw that's actually the mouse that I'm using I'll have my review coming out in a few days but I have to say though that it actually does work as well in the wired as wireless connectivity which is actually pretty impressive so be on the lookout for the review now what I want to talk to you guys today about it's a couple different things first off if you guys haven't seen it video car prices are finally starting to slack off they're even starting to sell cards back at their normal price I got an ad from Newegg today 8 gigabyte 580 for about $399 it's not all the way down to the lowest tier that it that it could be but it's getting there other video card prices are finally starting to come down well you guys all know that mine when it comes out it sucks the heck out of the market it's like opening up a black hole to miners where they just suck every video card they can get into their systems the market loses you know all of its stock and prices go crazy crazy crazy up but like always the mining craze has it's up and then it has it's down and the down is going to hit pretty soon now that doesn't mean that mining is going away it just means that the craze for and everything going around it kind of changes so instead of being the big huge thing like circus Vargas the first day it comes out it kind of loses its luster and there's still people doing it who stick around but the big craze will be over and that means good news for a lot of people including me a lot of my friends just come to me before and have me building PCs and stuff lately I cannot touch these guys the big companies who have their pre built systems and all of you guys out there who build pcs for your friends you know what I'm talking about right now you're like oh cool man I can get this cheap I can get this cheap I can get this cheap Ram whoa video card holy crap Batman then you quote from the price there it's like wow you know Best Buy or whatever you know whatever because stores by you has his pre-built system with a way better card in it for like you know six hundred dollars less than that because you're having to pay that $600 for that card now that's just we all know that's insane but the ice is broke prices are coming down so I imagine that probably by the time that summer's in full roll hopefully by then there'll be new cards from both the AMD side of things and the Nvidia side of things and that'll help alleviate the market as well but we shall see but let's all keep our hopes up because it was really nice when I could actually buy an affordable video card and pass on my savings from rather stuff to my friends so with that said though check this out so much want to talk about the word gaming right gaming every time that that seems to be attached to anything these days it's making whatever product there is sell for more money now I've been doing a lot of thinking about this lately and the reason is this gaming is entertainment and it's a want it's like drugs food sex anything else we'll get addictive to their gaming it sucks them in they play I used to be told like that my son was into that for years lots of you are into it right now and when you're in that phase you're just completely like focused on anything to do gaming and helping your gaming experience but if there wasn't gaming on a PC how many people would actually even buy PCs especially with Windows on it I mean well if if the with this the windows over the years and how much how much people visco I mean oh it has some good things you know it would be interesting to see if there was no PC gaming ever so let's just say that computers came out and they were pieces you know personal computers they were for doing your business you know other business people did things on them for CAD and stuff but let's just say that it never really took off as a gaming platform that in itself you wouldn't see anything that's going on right now because if you take gaming out of the computer industry there almost is no computer industry anymore there's obviously business a lot people would believe me if there wasn't this people would get the most cheapest most inexpensive thing that they can get their hands on that would fit behind their TV for sure these days for all our emails surfing the internet and everything else they would never even go out and spend it and paying like thousands of dollars or hundreds and hundreds of over price to buy a video card they would never waste their time at all the PC without gaming I think at this point right now would not be anything at all like it is without the gaming side of it and people take advantage of that fact they take advantage of that fact because they put gaming on it they call it a gaming keyboard they call it a gaming you know Mouse how many things we've talked about this before gaming monitor you know they call it a gaming monitor even if doesn't even have any qualifications for a gaming monitor keeping an IPS panel with no freesync no g-sync no high refresh rates no nothing but they've slapped the tag on it gaming so you're automatically going and you're looking at that you're going hey wow wow what's a gaming monitor Elric it says gaming on it I wanted a gaming monitor but is it a gaming monitor I think the criteria for what qualifies as being a gaming product really needs to be more narrowed down what truly qualifies for a Gaming Mouse a gaming keyboard a gaming anything what qualifies it that it's just strictly for gaming and you guys know that you know that GeForce Partner Program thing that's what early what's all about as I look to you more about it's basically the branding of gaming anything that says Nvidia gaming on it then Nvidia would own that gaming platform on it you know so I'm from from I guess bhisma spective that's totally smart idea because it locks are there others out but there are once again you see the word gaming being used to manipulate the market and get more of your money you know you hear people all the time saying oh I meant I just use a standard keyboard a standard Mouse you know what you're fine bro those gaming things half the time I admit it a lot of them are gimmicky unless you can program the buttons it's got you know really great features on it that's really super comfortable pretty much a mouse unless it's just got two buttons nothing else it's a mouse only the programmability and being able to take that and bring it into your games makes it any different than any product out there so now that I'm talking about the very last thing in this video now consoles why can't consoles have a normal OS on them and be upgradable so that you could buy them I mean picture this I like sitting in my living room and so I just bought I'll admit it I just bought an Xbox 360 I mean not an expected Xbox 1s I bought the slim one that got one terabyte with the game fours in it for 150 bucks I couldn't turn that down so I bought it and playing fours on my TV is awesome I mean it really is fun so I started thinking about it but I could just sit in the living room now especially with all this wireless stuff that I got I got a bunch of Wireless stuff from Corsair I'll be showing you guys that stuff as well as I do my wireless living room but it's really cool so if I could have a console that could do all those things I could surf the net stream do everything right from my console perfectly and still play my games aren't the way that I'm doing now and not have to get broke I think I could survive that yes obviously PC graphics you know they are they are better but why couldn't they do something with a console where you could put a different type of video card and there's something and upgrade it and keep it going so at least for like a few years you know three to five years your same console could be upgradeable and you could use it I mean I think if that happened it would be great because there really for me the big thing that always separated a PC game from a console game was the controller when it comes to first-person shooter games man you're trying to get that controller my old fingers man and I am just like whoa this is Jabberwocky I cannot do this but you give me a mouse in my hand at keyboard WASD I mean I'm fine I can play that all day long you know I'm saying and get down so if I could totally have that with my console my keyboard my mouse all that and have it up and running I think I would be pretty happy with that and I think a lot of you folks would as well and if that happened all these PC industry guys that keep using the word gaming gaming gaming to suck all your cash would have to suck on you not buying their products anymore you know honestly if we stopped buying their stuff just because they're throwing the tagname gaming on it and consoles actually improved the entire market could change I actually plan to try to talk to some people at Microsoft that I used to work with years ago I just got away from the console stuff as I went PC but I actually have some ideas myself about the perfect console and I'm actually gonna bring you guys a video about that where I'll tell you about my concept and how I think that a console in reality could totally wipe out the PC industry almost completely own those people who use it for work for just pleasure a console can definitely do the job with a little modification so thanks for watching like I said video car prices are dropping dropping dropping dropping dropping be careful what you buy when it has the word gaming attached to because most the time they're just trying to do this to you and and take money from your wallet and that's the truth and think about it if you had a console that could do everything your PC could do and still be upgradeable and still be in that nice cost factor of being a few hundred bucks why the heck wouldn't you buy that thing and you know what it could be easily done so let me hear your guys thoughts and opinions down below I appreciate it very much and I'll see you guys back here on teka tomorrow for obviously more tech and more news
