The only reason one doesn't get a new #GraphicsCard at #MSRP is because people don't refuse to buy!
OFC, everyone from #GPU #manufacturer brand to #BoardPartner to #Retailer & #TaxOffice profit from #Scalping-level prices.
- Thus the only way to fight back is to #BoycottOverMSRP!
Consumers have a choice, and refusing to upgrade or buy a #dGPU but stick with an #iGPU is the only feasible way to get it done!
Fake MSRP
As #GamersNexus pointed out: This is #Greedflation!
There is no other explaination re: 42% above #MSRP for #GPU|s that ain't having hands-on customer support for extreme overclocking!
- Like those were absurd but one could at least justify the price with the added cost of having to basically pre-pay at least 1 hour (if not multiple hours) of labour for a spechalized technician that walks people through on #extreme #overclocking!
Fake MSRP
The fact that neither #FTC nor @EUCommission investigated this #PriceGouging with #FakeMSRP since #GamersNexus reported about it first ages ago speaks volumes about the lack of #regulation.
- IMHO it should be illegal to advertise an MSRP without actually offering said product at MSRP!
Fake MSRP
I've yet to see any #GPU at #MSRP in #Germany!
- They all are #overpriced for no valid reason whatsoever and it pisses me off, because I didn't buy a #GTX1050 or #Vega64 as an #invsstment, but right now both cards.that I was able to snipe at €100 each are actually rising in value because #AMD, #nvidia & #intel only shit out expensive stuff and don't even have MSRP-priced merch available.
Worse there ain't even #LowEnd [< €100] or actual #MidRange [€250 - €500] cards available at MSRP!
Fake MSRP
Best people can get are #NewOldStock #GTX1030 or worse like #GT710 or got forbid #GT210|s which noone should buy unless they are stuck in some hellhole like #Brazil where #customs make thibgs so expensive that people are glad if they can buy their used work computers (minus HDD/SDD) from their employers for an absurdly high price cuz #refurbishers and #UserMarket either din't exist or just full of shit re: prices!
- I sadly can't find the #LowSpecGamer video reacting to #LinusTechTips calling lowest-end #GPU|s "manufactured #eWaste" as he #unlisted it and many others for no good reason!
This isn't normal.
- We used to get #MSRP WITH #VAT in #Germany despite having a 19% VAT rate (tho even Belgium git stuff at VAT despite having 32% VAT).
Cards get sold for € 1.100 when their MSRP is€ 600
- THIS IS #PriceGouging!
Fake MSRP
Whilst @heiseonlineenglish has reduced in #quality and isn't doing extensive reviews on #GPU|s anymore, they at least show #StreetPricing when available!
- Seriously, #MSRP should be legally binding!
I'd rather want a #honest #MSRP than a effectivley unavailable one.
- OFC I don't expect a board partner to accept a margin of just $4, but it would be easier to accept a 5% higher MSRP than having no stock at MSRP.
And yes, I blame #AMD, #nvidia and #intel doing #Greedflation against #consumers because I'm very certain they don't sell #silicon at cost for a fixed price per unit depending on the order size, but rather charge a cut of the sold model (similar to #ARM does nowadays for their #licensing)...
- People, #StopBuyingAboveMSRP!
