Acting like the actual market Nvidia is targeting won't gobble them up

Yeah the amount of Nvidia apologists and defenders the last couple months have risen dramatically.

The fact is the 80  and 80 ti GPUs, which were the top cards at the top used to cost $699-$799 MSRP max. When the 20 series cards came out they raised prices, and then once they realized after the chip shortage people would pay $1600 for a card secondhand they went with it and haven't looked back.

Inflation wasn't the issue. Chip shortage want the issue. Crypto mining wasn't the issue. It's Nvidia being greedy and recognizing people will pay ludicrous amounts of money for their cards.
