Correct, but it turns out, a fair fraction of the people who day 1 purchase a GPU for that much may not necessarily be described as wholly sane.


your comment makes me wonder...

Is it a computer science type person, who might be unaware of electrical engineering...

Or someone who takes a perfectly good car and adds ridiculous rims that rub?


They aren't insane, just not thrifty with their money.


Doesn't mean they prioritise everything the same way. Plenty of people buy an expensive car and put cheap tires on it or what have you.


Yeah, I can easily see someone buying an expensive GPU but a cheap power supply because they ostensibly all do the same thing


They're not necessarily insane, I agree.

But I've also known some people who did that when they did not have the disposable income to do it.
