Your guess is as good as mine. And where the video cards are concerned, due to the situation surrounding them, they have become a marketable commodity where prices are determined by supply and demand. If the supply is NATURALLY short, and the demand is high, I wouldn't feel like a scumbag getting back my purchase price on these already ridiculously high priced items. Screw the scalpers. Those are the real scumbags. --- End quote --- I just looked after not looking for a month and prices have come down on the older high-end cards. Like 10 yrs old (which is actually good enough to play most of today's games on mid to low settings)but still almost twice what they going for pre-pandemic. I'm just grumpy i can't pick up a 5yr old video card for a spare PC for less than what it retailed for. :) |

A high-end graphics card, as we have seen, can remain viable for close to a decade. Given the rate of advancement and intense competition, it would have been financial suicide for FB not to have been able to meet demand with a "lower end" VR system. There are already competitors looking to get a chunk of that market segment. --- End quote --- Look at the Quest available at Best Buy for $199. Refurbished - looked new in the box (no hairs). Bought a 10ft cable to play Alyx for $10 and it plays very well with an AMD 3600 and RX580. No obvious lag and some near brown pant moments make the game awesome. The old ticker can only do 60 minutes a day though... |

Do you think one coin be worth a billion dollars one day? If not, what? |
