Apple Foxconn factories pay good money for the workers. Nearly 2-3x that of local factory labour wage and have good working conditions.

It’s not the sweatshop you think it is.

It's the same Taiwanese companies that make iphones in china that are setting up plants , so there won't be any perceptible difference in the final product

They never learn to bring it back to the US or Europe, yes maybe slightly more expensive HR wise but lock at the trouble we now have with China and the shittons of money the future cold war with China will eat away, and then India will be the next China ....

Apple moves from one slave market to another fify

I was responding to his responses.

Here, I'll sum the discussion up:

"PC Gaming is going to become niche if flagship cards are so expensive!"

"Flagship cards are already niche and have always been."

"But flagship cards used to be $400-$500!"

"It's been 12 years since the last $500 flagship card"

"Does that make it okay?"

"Yes, because this isn't a NEEDED product. The market will determine its worth."

"I play exclusively PC VR I need this product!"

"PC VR is sub niche of a sub niche of a rich person's hobby. It's okay for the market to decide the value of that."

"JK, I'm not rich, I'm actually cripplingly poor."

"You're cripplingly poor with a multi thousand dollar gaming setup?"

"It's actually only $1,400"

"Why do you have a $1,400 PC if you're cripplingly poor?"

Alrighty. All caught up?

I'm amazed of how suddenly you decided to change the topic.

Huh? You can buy a 5600 for $140 right now and it’s capable of playing any game out there. Don’t be so dramatic.

this gpu cpu companies shoot themselves with this price increases every release meanwhile sony nad microsoft laughs with their console. I dont know why they dont understand that. i know they are greedy but didnt know they also dumb.

not helping that people always buy it just like pre-order in games

Someone overclocked a 4090 to get over 100 TFLOPs. Nearly 10 times that of a PS5

https://wccftech.com/nvidia-geforce-rtx-4090-is-the-first-gaming-graphics-card-to-deliver-100-tflops-of-compute-performance/

Developers and publishers of multi-format titles will probably keep on making games with the lowest common dominator in mind as before.

Why?

To get ps5/xbox series x performance costs keep going down and its easier and easier to build computers that offer far greater performance.

Well crypto was huge for nVidia before ethereum went to PoS. Now it can no longer be mined, hence the glut of 30x0 series cards. I did not know that CG industry was also captive.

The bottom 10% in the US is $8800/yr.

That's $4000 below the federal poverty level.

Don't you need the money for...food? Or education? Or housing?

Or....anything more important than video games when you're cripplingly poor?

Not really. Our equipment will never be as fast as the speed of light. So the equipment will always be the bottleneck.

YES

Amd is going to make a killing with their new cards. Real wonder is going to be can they produce enough. Nvidia has been screwing their customers for too long

This is like the "Nobody ever goes there, its too crowded!" line. If those companies are selling them at that price, then obviously people are buying them.

Yes, also my pc cost about 1,4k so not really a multi thousand. I did save for quite a long time.

You're in the bottom 10% of your country but you have a multi thousand dollar VR gaming setup for fun?

Whether we reach the limit or not, does not make it untrue.

Light speed is the ultimate bottleneck, we will never get faster than it.
