    The current GPU situation isn't some conspiracy. Please stop making crazy posts.

    For example Threads like this

    ​

    First, let me start off by saying that it stinks lots of people haven't been able to buy a next gen card. However, all these posts do is clog up the subreddit.

    Also, the higher pricing and low stock isn't some conspiracy, its also not some scheme to rip you off.

    The MSRP is the SUGGESTED retail price. The price of anything will change based on demand. Everyone seems to underhand that when stock is high and demand is low, the price goes down. If a store has too many cards, the will go on sale. Nobody questions it when that happens. To put it simply, we are seeing the reverse of this.

    Lots of you guys are tossing around the term MSRP like it is set in stone, it isn't.

    Currently, there are not enough cards to meet demand. In a situation like this, the product should go to the person who values it the most. If "john doe" is willing to pay AMD or an AIB $900 to have a 6800XT right this instant, he should get the card. If he is willing to pay it, why shouldn't he get the card? Once there are more cards available the prices will fall.

    I'm going to try and counter a lot of the arguments I expect to receive.

    ​

    "The MSRP is only $650, we shouldn't have to pay more."

    Again, the MSRP is a suggested price, the actual price varies. If you do not think an AIB 6800XT is worth $900, then don't pay it. No one is forcing you to buy a graphics card if you think it costs too much.

    "Price gouging like this is illegal"

    Raising price to meet demand isn't illegal. Price gouging is more along the lines of a gas station charging $10/gallon when people are trying to flee from a hurricane. A shortage of cards isn't price gouging. But I am no lawyer.

    "Scalping is illegal"

    Again, im not a lawyer, but no one afaik has ever gotten in trouble for reselling consumer goods if people are willing to pay.

    "This is anti consumer"

    Is it really though? The people who want the cards the most will get them. If you don't value it as much as the next guy, he deserves the card more.

    "I really want a card, but can afford it"

    Well, other people also really want it AND they can afford it. This isn't a conspiracy/scheme like a lot of people suggest.

    I really want Emma Watson to be my wife, but that isn't happening either.

    "The MSRP is $600, the cards are only worth $600"

    The cards are worth what people are willing to pay. If people are willing to pay more, the cards are worth more. Its not for you to decide what they are worth.

    ​

    ​

    You all just need to take a deep breath. The supply will likely catch up eventually. The amount of salt in tech sub reddits has been unbearable lately.

    If you don't think the cards are worth the price they are charging, just wait. I'm waiting too.

    What are the telltale traits of a laptop with longevity?

    Posted: 26 Nov 2020 04:08 PM PST

    TL;DR: title. To expand on the title, what kinds of physical components in a laptop increase the likelihood that it will work totally fine without need to repair or replace parts due to failure, for several years down the line?

    As additional context, I have a very old (released ~2010) semi-high-configured budget laptop that runs the latest Windows updates reliably, albeit being slow and under-powered for anything more than basic tasks. It's also very heavy, the body being mostly some sort of metal that stays cool to the touch. A striking point is that hasn't needed any repair. The battery might need to be replaced, and maybe the fan should be cleaned, but everything still works as it should. My main laptop, a premium ultraportable released in 2017, hasn't fared as well, after less than 3 years of light-to-moderate use. I've started the search for a much higher-performing machine released within the last 2 years to replace the old tank and new flimsy. One important goal in the search is finding one that will last a long time without developing major problems.

    My usage will be mixed. The heavier tasks will be processing- and graphics-heavy work for data science and programming / compiling, with some graphics and photo editing; that kind of moderate-to-intensive work. Zero gaming.

    What are the traits of a laptop that can be expected to have longevity, without swelling batteries, processor or other components becoming damaged due to heat / overworking, essential external parts falling apart? Does plastic or all-metal (in other words, heavier) construction make a significant difference? Can newer higher-performance laptops last long, because their high-performance processors and other components inevitably lead to heat-related issues that are unencountered in weaker budget laptops (like my old one)?

    (AHOC/Buildzoid)PCB Breakdown: MSI B550 Unify-X

    What allows such deep discounts on technology that's been released inside a year? What are the actual costs and markup associated with selling computers, peripherals, other devices?

    Posted: 26 Nov 2020 06:18 AM PST

    For instance I'm cruising the black friday deals on Amazon, I see Microsoft's Surface Pro 7, i5-10, 8GB RAM, 256GB version. It debutted last October for $1200 on Amazon, it reached as low as $900 on Amazon between February and May this year. A 25% discount.

    Clearly Microsoft has to make money off of them, and then middle man sellers like Amazon also have to make money off of them too. I would not imagine the volume of units they're selling would allow them to cut their margin so deep. But I can't imagine them selling something at cost or a loss. Is it variable cost in manufacturing depending on component prices? Is it less defects/higher yields? Production ramp up? There must be some reasoning to it.

    So what exactly allows manufacturers and retailers to do such deep discounts on tech during the holidays or within a year of a products release? Are the margins that good for tech?

    IS GPU MSRP a scam or at least very deceptive?

    Posted: 26 Nov 2020 02:58 PM PST

    Technically Nvidia sold some FE 30x0 cards at MSRP, as did AMD sell some of their first party cards at MSRP, but neither of them in any large quantity and it appears they have both stopped making them in favor letting their AIB partners sell 10%+ over MSRP.

    Are the first party cards to just skew reviewers opinions on performance to price? I cant think of a single charitable reason why they do this otherwise.
