That thing would be OK if it was reasonably priced. They don’t even pretend to be interested in anything other than squeezing money out of their customers. If there was meaningful competition in the sector, this wouldn’t be happening.
The unfortunate thing for me is I don’t see how we get reasonable competition in the computing space at this point. The economies of scale that is required to get a reasonably priced chip to market is enormous.
Anyone know where I can actually get my hands on a B580 for non-scalped prices? I’ve been monitoring multiple sites for months and either it hasn’t come up or get snatched up in minutes

Unsurprising, Nvidia really only cares for the higher end market for gaming.
Hopefully AMD and Intel can find success making reasonable cards for the masses.

It seems like they are building to appease the AI farms now.

8GB in a modern card is a joke unless it’s at budget prices.
