GPU makers may prioritize more profitable models; large SSDs are harder to find.
There’s always a reason for prices to go up, never for them to go down, isn’t there? Tried and tested strategy with oil. Price per barrel goes up, fuel goes up. Price per barrel goes down, fuel stays stable. We all see through your greed little motherfuckers, but the reality is that it’s an oligopolistic market and there’s no escape.
prices can go down, they just dont publicly announce why.
for example, after covid functionally ended and the cryptoboom crashed, Nvidia and AMD over ordered on dies. so there was a flood of Ampere and RDNA2 gpus they needed to get rid of. because of the flood, it killed the launch value of Lovelace and RDNA3.
Ampere stock was legitamitely bad that when EVGA left the gpu sales market, one of the biggest reasons was because Nvidia forced AIBs to buy up their ampere stock if they wanted any lovelace stock.
Don’t worry. Everyone knows that under capitalism anyone can open a shop to compete with lower prices for a slice of that pie.
Ah yes ofc it’s obviously a capacity problem, not insane greed that will bite most of them in the ass longterm.
My main SSD failed two hours ago and the prices are crazy. I’m considering buying on the secondary market.
When it starts to affect cases, I think we need to start doing something extreme. IDK what, but something.
