Is NVIDIA Price Gouging With The RTX 2080 Ti?

2018-09-10
okay so it looks like the time is finally upon where we're gonna see reviewers having the 20/80 cards in their hand to do the actual testing and show the number but the biggest complaint that everybody has and through all my videos I keep getting like people saying you're paid off your invidious shill that's just crazy if you ever watch the video I'd never ever have once suggested buying these cards all I ever do is bring guys the facts and tell you stuff but you seem to I don't know miss miss get the information in your head of what I'm saying I do not say oh go out and buy the r-tx 28 or the horny hei or the 27 me I've never said that I'm not endorsing that now I think the big big problem here though is misconception and this is completely and videos fault for not being more direct with the public and video I'm there Alicia showed a lot more scores of what the cards were doing instead of leaving this giant open gap for speculation for people to talk crap and just throw stones and honestly Nvidia this is a beautiful for not giving information like a lot of times people just don't know what is going on now here's what I think is going on let me just rewind just a little bit here when a 1080 first came out the founders edition was about six hundred and ninety-nine dollars and when the video card craze went with all the minors those cards are being sold for about 1500 bucks on eBay and selling like hotcakes gamers couldn't get their hands on a card whatsoever you guys know it I know it everybody made videos about it we made videos about it you also endorse those videos so that you guys agree that that was a really crappy thing that we couldn't get these cards for affordability but now we're seeing the twenty eight the standard version coming out to market at eight hundred dollars okay so let's just stop right there the 1080 at launch $6.99 twenty eighty founders Edition at launch Leclerc by that founders Edition is $7.99 so there's really only a hundred dollar difference between the 1080 launch and the 2080 launch people are freaking out about the numbers going oh my god and video menu are the fucking devil man oh my god the prices check this out how much did a TI card cost $12.99 correct even when they had the aftermarket ones with all the Star Wars stuff and all that stuff they were $12.99 well the thing is Nvidia I believe is phasing away the Titan the 20 atti is pretty much going to become the Titan Edition the only difference is instead of waiting to release stuff everything is just pretty much being thrown out almost at the exact same time which is very very strange so if you look at it from that aspect the 20 80 TI if it's replacing a Titan at $12.99 you're basically getting a Titan at $12.99 there's a lot of misconceptions going out there people are like oh my god Nvidia is robbing us and ripping us off but if you really look at the numbers it depends on how they're gonna correlate to the products being released now if later on down the road these guys at Nvidia and release a Titan card and try to even up the price that to me will really really be the severus slap in the face for gamers because let's just face it at $12.99 only elitists gamers and those type of people are gonna be able to buy these cards because let's just face it at $12.99 most people around the world can't afford to buy that type of video card that type of video card is at the very top of the price range I mean if you're a developer you buy a quadrille card you see these cards are three - fucking $10,000 lots of money so at $12.99 if it's going to replace the Titan then that's not bad but if Nvidia is going to have that really as just the TI and then release a Titan later on that's really going to suck but as it is right now what I'm kind of hearing is that the Titan is going to be phased out and so the 2080 you know the r-tx 20 80 TI is pretty much the new Titan so instead of being titanium Edition or whatever it'll probably just be the Titan Edition now I don't know this for an absolute fact because like I said stuff's constantly coming out more informations constantly coming out the cards are just coming out right now like I said the reviewers will have them in their hands we're gonna have lots of tests for you guys lots of games lots of comparisons and different stuff to show you exactly these cards are about will see if you know ray-tracing actually really does make a big difference but first you have to get those cards in hand now I don't agree with the pricing I want to be very clear about this if the TI is just a TI if the 2080 TI is just a TI card it's not a replacement for the temp for the Titan then I think that's really shitty and piss-poor of Nvidia because it's going to make the gaming world really expensive to get into but if you look at the other skews the 2080 the 2070 these cards aren't really coming to market that much more expensive than the previous generation it's about $100 more and you guys are such a thing called inflation so the more expensive that the die is to make the more expensive the cards are to get to the market it's been 2 years you don't think that electronics parts that better up that are like high-end R&D stuff aren't gonna cost a little bit more they are and when you're looking at it from that aspect and you only see you know $100 difference between the previous generations release and this release that's not really that much money now the TI at double the price of a 1080i yes I agree completely if that's how things are that's really crappy and shady of Nvidia I don't agree with that whatsoever I will be making negative videos about that but I'm really hoping is what I'm really hoping for that these will actually be the Titans 2080 I hopefully will be the new Titan hopefully we won't see a Titan only time will tell but as far as pricing goes right now the lower end cards are not even the lower end cards the newer card is a 28 at 2070 their prices are not double what they were on the previous launch by any means they're like $100 more the only card that is so outrageously priced is the r-tx 2080 TI and if that card like I said will be replacing the Titan and that's not a bad price point whatsoever that's exactly where Titans were sold before so that is actually right in the right around price range like I said a lot of misconceptions going on Nvidia should have been a lot clearer with where these cards are gonna be placed what markets they're going to be into the touring technology for me this entire release I don't know it just kind of feels weird I don't think the stuff's even going to be around that long whatsoever plus there is the very fact that in video last year made a shit ton of 1080 T eyes and cards hoping the miners would buy those cards up well check it out all those cards are pretty much still out there so if NVIDIA makes the cards a little bit more expensive and people want to pay that well then hopefully they'll go back and buy all those previous generation cards and clear and video stock off the wall that's probably a lot of that going on as well a lot of things mean you just plain and simply don't see from our end we just see the prices the video cards and we want him to put in our systems and that's kind of where we're at in our world wants sitting on the board we don't know the cost of bringing those cards for the market we don't know any of that stuff for all of us it's just a lot of speculation so where Nvidia really messed up they sure showed a lot more scores during the launch people all this is crazy this big giant vacuum which has been filled by rumor after rumor after rumor I mean like I said my last video some people even told me there's no such thing as ray tracing I was like okay it really was stuffs getting really really crazy when there's no such thing now is ray tracing so some people are on the friends they don't really know what's going on they're just really angry about the prices honestly if the TI ends up being just a TI at 1,300 bucks I'm with you man that has a complete ripoff and not worth your cash whatsoever but if it is a Titan replacement then the price is pretty much aligned in what it should be so hey thanks for watching the video like usual I always want to hear your guys opinions down below so let's clarify real clearly I do not agree with the high price of the 2080 r-tx Ti right now don't agree with it the only thing that'll make it better at the end of the day is it is a tight replacement if it's not then hey and Vidya is kind of sucking right now peace
