Bananas isn't it. Disgusted because you can't drop a grand on a graphics card.
It is, but I guess it is also an interesting and important demonstration of what could happen on a larger scale if the commerce keeps shifting towards the internet without implementing proper protection, both on a legal and technical point.
It all started with totally superfluous things (bots snapping up event tickets), then started moving towards more consumer-oriented goods (shoes). I feel right now we're on the verge - computer components are straddling that line between being purely luxury goods and fundamental products; Sure thing, a GPU is basically thought for gaming...but I wouldn't want to be in the shoes of a freelance animator, engineer, architect or designer whose GPU failed in 2021.
The next "bot craze" creating artificial scarcity could be about things we actually need - it almost happened with stuff such as soap and sanitizer at the beginning of the pandemic.
More in topic - does anyone know if the availability on the AMD site is region specific? I mean, once there's a drop, are users of the /ie shop competing against other Irish based buyers, or is it just a centralized supply? I'd imagine the second, but would be interesting to know (and, for all the data, the two cards bought from users here could well be ALL there was

100% agree.
The frustrating part of this is if they setup a waiting list they'd keep the majority (if not all) of punters happy. Even if you knew you had to wait 6 months, at least you'd know your going to get one.
Anyway, we try again next week.H3llR4iser wrote: »More in topic - does anyone know if the availability on the AMD site is region specific?

I think its a central drop accessible from all the regional portals all underpinned by the digital river platform.0 -
