I don't understand why suddenly everyone expects third party manufacturers to match Nvidia's prices. As long as Nvidia's been making cards, theirs have been the cheapest... they literally make the silicon.

If everyone expects Gigabyte, Asus, MSI, etc to match Nvidia's prices, you can expect them all to do what EVGA did and drop out because they'll be losing their asses on every high end card they sell.

I bought cassette tapes as a kid and then CDs in the 90s / early 2000s... Was born too late to really have experience with records aside from seeing them on my mom's stereo setup and looking at the art on the front.

I think the last CD i bought was at least 10 years ago, don't even have a CD player any more.... Bought a record player and a pair of bookshelf speakers and I'm up to about 10 records with a couple more on the way. Streaming is great on the go and in the car, but at home it's nice to throw on a record i own, you get the album art way bigger than cassette tapes or CDs, they sound unique, and it's just a cool experience i missed out on but am glad they're making a comeback.

I don't understand how Nvidia charges so much for their video cards and include cheap fugly cables. It didn't used to be a problem when you just ran the cables from your power supply because generally those are sleeved and look decent, but the adapters they've been doing since the 3000 series are a joke.
