Most younger TechTubers have no journalistic training/experience is my guess.I was like WTF when tech jesus started to rant about how you shouldn't care about not getting a card, and if you do you're stupid. He literally only exists because people do care. But he doesn't want landfills full of 2080ti -s! Oh, wait they go to the second hand market where they compete with the 3060ti and 3070.
He recently started down the ugly path of talking down to his audience. Instead of talking at them.

Dead horses seem to be an issue for many youtubers. I mean they are all worshipers of the algorithm, no matter that the topic only warrants a 2 minute report, they need to pad it to 10 minutes. Zero journalistic integrity, just to get maximal profits for minimal effort.The vid he did about the new intel CPU where he was making fun of intel mentioning the competing AMD part so much more then their own was fun for 2 minutes but after that he was beating the dead horse to a pulp it was not funny anymore.

Serious? Imagine Nvidia was selling a drug to a user that was jonesing for that drug. Who in the this relationship has the upper hand?I also don't really see how it's in Nvidia's interest to limit availability when the hype was at the max.
Unless Nvidia started to charge more, where's the benefit for them in doing so?Serious? Imagine Nvidia was selling a drug to a user that was jonesing for that drug. Who in the this relationship has the upper hand?
Don't underestimate the power of mindshare, especially if your competitor is also coming out with a new and improved drug at the same time.Unless Nvidia started to charge more, where's the benefit for them in doing so?

What's happening to Intel isn't really related to what could happen to Nvidia, particularly since Intel's main issue is that their manufacturing process improvement stalled for a bit, whereas neither AMD nor Nvidia manufacture their own products.Tell that to Intel. Pretty sure Nvidia doesn't want what's happening to Intel to happen to them. It's only a matter of time until AMD catches up in the gpu sphere as Nvidia is busy diversifying their business.

Will you buy a 3080 once more are available or you have something else in mind?Tell that to Intel. Pretty sure Nvidia doesn't want what's happening to Intel to happen to them. It's only a matter of time until AMD catches up in the gpu sphere as Nvidia is busy diversifying their business.
Getting back to the discussion a bit; I'm finding it a bit hard to swallow the idea that Nvidia artificially limited availability.
I was referring to mindshare in regards to Intel. They have done a piss poor job of marketing during their troubles. The Nvidia/drug dealer analogy fits just fine. Drug users are hooked on their preferred substance and are easy to manipulate. The same could be said for Nvidia fan bois (or any fan bois for that matter) it's just that the thing they can't live without is high-end gaming. Both populations are niche, captive to their supplier, and will suspend rational thought/action to acquire the thing that gives them their fix.What's happening to Intel isn't really related to what could happen to Nvidia, particularly since Intel's main issue is that their manufacturing process improvement stalled for a bit, whereas neither AMD nor Nvidia manufacture their own products.
Especially given that Nvidia is using a Samsung process quite effectively at the moment, which means that they have more than one partner that can manufacture their products and reduces the likelihood that they wind up with new designs that they can't fab and bring to market.
I would never drop that kind of money on such a quickly depreciating consumer good. That said I do understand that if such a card is used by people to earn a living then by all means, go for it. But if that is the case then the sound business decision would be to wait until AMD releases their cards and compare whose product yields the most return on the investment.Will you buy a 3080 once more are available or you have something else in mind?
