New Video Cards Or Affordable Ones - What's More Important?

2018-05-20
hey tech fans what's going on now I know that many people out there seem like they're really anticipating a whole new line of video cards from AMD and NVIDIA and I'm gonna tell you guys why I kind of disagree with that train of thought I mean yeah I mean it would be cool if there were some new video cards coming out but truly the cards that are on the market right now play pretty much all the games that are out in the market right now when they do it pretty well the biggest problem that I see about all of this is availability and pricing because let's just face it for the last year pretty much nobody's been able to afford a video card unless they pretty much sold their arm or their leg or their house because the prices have just been so extraordinary and there have been all kinds of reasons and speculation speculation excuse me about why this is happening you know miners obviously big-time miners buying directly from the companies and buying bulks of video cards so there's none available in the market as a culprit but also in my opinion not having enough cards manufactured is also a problem it doesn't seem like AMD or Nvidia was really prepared for what the market was going to be and if you can't really afford a video card right now what's going to happen when they release new video cards you're just not going to be able to afford those cards as well correct I mean because if the prices aren't going to go down it's not going to matter where they release new series of video cards or not for people out there who don't have a lot of money you're still not going to be able to get your hands on a video card that's just the way it is now as a reviewer I feel God blessed and very lucky that in many circumstances I can contact AMD or I can contact and video and video it's pretty funny right and it's a new company in video it's half video card a half motocross and video let's rock now but anyways what I'm saying is I'm really lucky in that respect because these companies know that I help promote their products by building systems and doing stuff like that but honestly if I was a gamer right now and I was out trying to build a new system I'd be still just like pulling my hair going what the heck is going on because not only have the video card prices gone off but gone up but memory card prices have gone up as well memory card memory prices sorry guys I'm still a little bit dinged out from being six I'm still trying to get back on my horse completely but you guys know what I'm saying here the bottom line is if you cannot afford to buy a video card as a gamer and build yourself a gaming system from scratch out of your own two hands like many people like to do that's really just a serious sad state of events all the way across the board so even if AMD released new video cards next week and video released new video cards next week it's not going to really matter because unless the prices come down it's not going to change things whatsoever so sure there'll be some nice newer video cards but let's be honest how much do you think those cards are going to be I mean if Nvidia released new video cards their top of the line cards would probably be coming into the market at about eleven or twelve hundred dollars right out of the gate so would be a traditionally you know a $600 $700 you know that would be the top of the line pricing you're going to see pricing in eleven and twelve hundred dollar category and for people who aren't rich and people who live in other countries where the exchange rate and everything isn't great and they have huge tariffs like Brazil just to get anything into the thing Jamaica is the same way how is that going to help you really in any way it really won't so I really don't feel right now that the lack of new video cards onto the market is any real big deal the 1080i will play just about anything there is out there at even 4k at mini games and if you really want to go even crazy you can get yourself a Titan XP obviously AMD doesn't have anything of that exact caliber yet I mean I'm sure is their technology their drivers and everything keeps catching up it'll get closer but it doesn't really matter the bottom line is if you can't afford those video cards it doesn't matter whether it's last generation the generation before or the generation coming up if you can't buy it it's irrelevant to your tuition so at the end of the day I don't think that new video cards and them not coming out is really any you know grand bad thing about the industry and an honesty honesty excuse me the industry's you know kind of stagnated in many ways I've been in this industry since day one since the very beginning and honestly every launch in the past used to be very exciting because you knew that you were going to get something that was going to be very very competitive well NVIDIA really doesn't have to worry about being super competitive right now do they because AMD is not putting anything out that is really you know comparable they're still having products that are subpart NVIDIA performance so until AMD can actually come up with a card that makes Nvidia go oh holy we're gonna lose market share to these fools well there's not much they're gonna be doing about it and as a corporation you really can't blame them I mean if you're not forced to put something out to make video card sales why would you do it it really doesn't make any sense for them because they have to retool reef AB do all this stuff to get those video cards out and that involves millions of millions of dollars as we all know so until we see companies pushing them and forcing them to release new cards I don't really see them honestly doing that I know that they do have new cards that are in their lineup that are supposed to be released eventually but as things are right now even if they release them you couldn't afford them so honestly I'd like to hear you guys opinion down below what you guys think do you really think that putting out new video cards right now is what really needs to happen or do you think that the market needs to balance the frak out and bring pricing down to an affordable level so that people who want to do their own stuff can do it because the only way around that for the last year pretty much has been to go out and buy a system from somebody like a VA direct or one of those other companies out there and get your systems through them so that you can get your video card now I don't really think that's really such a bad thing I know that people want to do their own hands-on stuff but honestly if you get a system for on these guys they do all the cable management for you and it's human you get a big enough power supply you can honestly customize that rig and modify it to what you want it to be so in my opinion buying these systems to these companies it's really not that big of a deal and if you're a person who can't you know build a system or don't have a friend that can build a system for you that's pretty much your only route anyways so let me know what you think do you think new video cards will solve all the problems of the industry I don't I think when you lower the prices and make everything affordable for everyone what do you think let me see your comment down below peace
