Enjoy the boycott. 1 less person fighting for inventory.

Lol my thoughts exactly

Why call it a boycott, though?
It is perfectly reasonable to not purchase something because it is outside of your desired price range. You probably do it all the time.

I have plenty of money to buy what I what, but I dont know If i can justify this upgrade yet.

That's fair, but as far as Nvidia is concerned you might as well have $35 in your pocket. Companies hate it when you punish them for ethical reasons, but if you simply priced yourself out of the market they dgaf. If the price is too high, no boycott is needed ; the market will take care of that.

We might say that their pricing is becoming a bit unethical. Hence a Price Boycott.

lol, are you for real?

If they drop a full fat GA102 core card with 20+ GB of VRAM, personally I'd pay up to about $2K for it, especially if it's 7nm vs the rest of the stack probably being 8.
Ideal? No. But it should be a monster and I could use the VRAM.
2
If it's 7nm and 100% increase from 2080ti? Sure.
But you and I know we are both gonna be looking at a card that is $1500 on 8nm with a 50% increase from the 2080ti.

100% increase over a 2080Ti will be Hooper, not Ampere.

Yeah, I believe so as well. However I also don't think we'll see a 2k card and if we did it better be that perf gain.
I think the 3090 24gb card will be $1500, and the craziest part is that people are thinking that's a deal.
1
Maybe. I'd still prolly pay that for a 50% base uptick, with the VRAM, toss it in my loop and overclock another 10-20% out of it.
Not the best cases scenario but 50+% is still a healthy bump.
2
For 2k I disagree, but I'm also still rocking a 980ti so I think our upgrade timings are a little different though.

Yea, for sure. I use mine for work too, plus I'm a graphics whore and love playing with this kinda stuff. Easier for me to justify than most probably lol.

Just vote with your wallet and the market will adjust (if it needs to)
2
I plan too, but we should tell them that we are not happy with this nonsense too.

Hopefully enough ppl boycott buying them so I have an easier time getting a 3090/3080ti on launch day

Yay! Another boycott! Gotta petition going too?

Ok, paying over 1k for a phone is fucking stupid too.

I look at my phone more than I look at my wife. I think a high cost for such an important device is fine.
Compare: Cars cost way way more and while I could easily live without a car, I could not live without a phone.
