tl:dw some the testing shows 300-500% improvements in the 16GB model. Some games are completely unplayable on 8GB while delivering an excellent experience on the 16GB.
It really does seem like Nvidia is intentionally trying to confuse their own customers for some reason.
for money/extreme greed
Okay well that's the low-hanging fruit but explain to me the correlation? How does confusing their customers fuel their greed?
Uninformed buyers will buy the 8GB card get a poor experience and will be forced to buy a new card sooner than later.
So their strategy is making and selling shitty cards at high prices? Don't you think that would just make consumers consider a competing brand in the future?
The reviews said that it was a better card than the other brand.
Just imagine how bad those must have been!
They don't know they've been ripped off.
It's like teens and IPhones, they don't care if they pickup a used 3 year old iPhone for more money than a new Android, they want the iPhone branding
For most consumers it might not, the amount of nvidia ~~propaganda~~ advertisement in games is huge.
Yea I don't know why buying a shitty product should convince me to throw more money at the company. They don't have a monopoly, so I would just go to their competitor instead.
