It's pointless trying to point out the madness on here though. You're wasting your time. You have to remember these things are like drugs to most people on here, they have an addiction, the companies like Nvidia know this, and like drug dealers they keep pushing their clients for more and more each time they release something new.
That's why they come out with all sorts of justification for paying ever increasing amounts, and any rational reasoning from people looking at things objectively and seeing the bigger picture gets snapped at.
Thankfully, my addiction to wanting the shiny shiny, best every new release died after the 10 series from Nvidia and Vega from AMD both ended up ridiculously priced (granted mainly due to mining and brexit). It's a great feeling to break an addiction. It also saves you a fair amount of money too!
I can now find it quite amusing just watching people **** thousands of £££ on ever increasing prices to play video games with prettier graphics. It would be nice if as much effort was put into making better game play, instead of sequel after sequel of the same **** with prettier reflections and shadows.
