I couldn't dream of putting 2 graphics cards in a PC that cost $1400 each just to play video games at a high framerate. Just those two graphics cards cost more than any PC I'd ever be willing to build. Hell one of those graphics cards probably cost more than any full build I've ever done.
That PC they built is $5000 easy. Sad part is next year it'll no longer be top of the line because better parts will be released. I mean you build a PC like that and what does it get you 6-9 months of bragging rights then back into the pile with you or you're blowing more money trying to keep up with the new stuff.
I learned my lesson a few years back about buying top end tech products back when I was buying flagship TVs every year for like 3 years in a row. You pay a hell of a lot to get flagship products and the payoff just isn't there. They're almost always a poor value for what you pay.
But why does it matter? You, we have all so many options.
Literally the only true reason to buy dual 2080ti's is for 4K high refresh gaming which will cost you 1600-2000 dollars extra on the monitor.
This is for the gamer that wants the best of the best. You could easily buy a new 1070/1080 with a 1440p high refresh monitor and spend a quarter of someone like myself who wants the best possible gaming experience. Yes the prices are bullshyt but don't treat it like there aren't options. 99% of gamers do not game at 4K and especially with these very expensive monitors.
When I bought my 2080ti's I expected in the next 2 years I'll lose 40-50% of it's value. Now if I game on average 14-20 hours per week, my average cost per hour using these cards will cost roughly 61 cents per hour. My cost of 61 cents per hour is nothing compared to many other activities that cost far more to continuously keep doing. This card is for idiots like myself who have too much money to blow and enjoy knowing that I have one of the best options to game at the highest rate. You have many more options to buy graphic cards that are cheaper and can handle 99% of the use cases that you need for PC gaming or computational workflow.
The only people Nvidia has trued over is their true core audience. The people who have been waiting for 2 years to buy the next generation high end ti and now can't afford to blow 1.2-1.5K on a graphic card. Don't worry, they are going to feel that with people simply not being able to purchase graphic cards and maybe moving to AMD graphic card in the mid to low range because their prices are more affordable.
shyt, most gamers do not need anything more than a rx 570/580 or 1060 3gb with the vast majority owning 1080/60hz and 1080/144hz monitors. I don't see the point in why people are angry that they have to pay more for something that is extremely limited to a use-case. When there isn't other options but paying higher prices like we see in other markets like medicine manipulation where there aren't other alternatives to getting the product.
