程度の副詞

Just two cents here and I'm gonna do something I haven't really done before.

I'm gonna do sort of a year end recap when it comes to the tech.

Anyways, when it comes to the PC genre, the PC space, because I've done these end of year kind of recaps with my channel.

But this has been a very interesting year.

2018 is one of those years I would probably down in the record books as one of the worst for PC gamers.

And let me explain why in this video why I say it's the worst.

Although we saw some great innovative tech come out, there's some reasons why I think this year is gonna go down in history as one of the worst.

Zipper, putties, beanies, polos Don't take my word for it is obviously I can't do this ad so just looking description below When you guys find the link.

I'm probably gonna talk about this a little bit out of order, and I'm probably going to be a bit more scatterbrained.

You weren't being inconvenienced by this on your screen.

I wouldn't wantto Kaiser pixels to do any extra work to render this face.

Let's go and start with G pews, because if we're talking about PC enthusiasts graphics card, they get all the glory right.

They brag about their graphics cards and this well, this has been the most expensive year for graphics cards ever.

It's quite a few reasons for that one lack of competition.

We talked about the dangers of lack of competition years ago.

Paul, Kyle, Linus, myself hardware connects.

All of us talked about the dangers of having no competition.

Why, although we may have preferences and My personal preference obviously isn't video.

Many of you have a preference of MD, which is perfectly fine.

But the problem is, when you have no competition in that space, it effects everybody.

Now the problem is, we started off the year with the incredibly spiking price of crypto currencies.

We have Bitcoin within the last year, reaching what $20,000 per coin and people looked at as a quick, easy way to get rich.

They ran out and they bought up the GP use and stuff not necessary because of Bitcoin, because Bitcoin had moved over to a sick mining where that really surpassed what GPS could do.

But because of a theory, um, Ethereum was looked at as the next coin that was going to break the market in terms of changing things with digital currencies and stuff.

So and it did a fantastic job at leveraging the GDR five found in graphics cards because it was a very memory intensive type of mining.

So Jeep use up all shapes and sizes were getting sold out across the board when Bitcoin was using Jeep use.

The Rx 4 80 was the card that became extremely difficult to find because that was the sweet spot for, like, hash rate versus Price.

But Ethereum didn't care what kind of card you had.

You just had to have the GDR, and as long as you had that you could create these crazy render farms in his mining farms and make stupid amounts of money.

And everyone was buying into that because a theory, um, was climbing at a very sharp rate.

So we saw 102 103 100% price increases when it came to G BYU's.

And the problem is, although the manufacturer's claimed they weren't selling direct, we had plenty of people involved in the industry telling us that that was a bold faced lie, that they were indeed selling direct to the render farms because they could increase the price first.

What they were selling them to their merch are the merchant fix prices because you understand when they sell these deep use and stuff, they have a A price, a wholesale price.

But they get up that wholesale price, sell direct and make a ton of money, which meant the supply chain completely dried up when you finally were seeing graphics cards making their way to new egg Amazon at the time N c a N C E x is that it takes I want N c.

I s like the TV show set beside the point When they finally made it to market, they were so jacked up in price, the many are they.

Retailers wanted their cuts, so they inflated the price even more meaning you're paying over $1000 for a GTX 10 80.

You're paying 1500 plus dollars for 10 a.

The problem is, people were buying them by the hundreds and you would see these tweets where people driving around all the micro centers and going in there one after another with various people, like entire clan's of people, wine graphics cards one of the time.

And then they would brag about their photos of 200 cards sitting in their living room.

That was a problem because the card was no longer available for retail.

Availability of supply and demand made the prices go up ridiculously.

I'm sure, someone here watching nose and was probably trying to buy a car during the air, which made it seem like men.

I finally saved six months or a year to build my system.

I've got everything I need except a graphics card.

Even the used card market was extremely inflated.

But the problem with that is we also didn't have competition in the space.

So once it's started to normalize and come back down, we then had new graphics card launches coming out.

Unfortunately, nothing from a MD this year.

What we did have the Rx 5 90 which is just a slight increase in improvement on a bit of an architecture change when it came to the Rx 5 80 But a single 5 90 is not going to change The market last year showed us Vega which, unfortunately, there were no updates to Vega this year and that mostly being because the project manager for that Roger Katori, moved to Intel because Intel want to get into the space and compete against in video.

We're gonna see anything from that in terms of retail availability to probably 2020 at the soonest, and that's if it doesn't get pushed back.

So you haven't video left to just kind of control the market all they wanted, Which is why we've now seen the most expensive G pews come vermin video.

Yet that being obviously the arty Exline.

The card that when it launched, everyone was like, Oh, my God, $1200.

What is happening here with an M S r p of $1000?

Well, of course, the EIB's or the board partners didn't want Thio be, you know, basically outshined by in video.

So they come out of their custom boards, which costs them, or to make, which means they cost more than $1200 in most cases.

So now you had the tea I version of graphics cards, which used to be around the $650 range, now costing double that well, double that once again with now the Titan launch.

That although they say it's not a gaming card, has the exact same technologies that are in here, which is a gaming card with just a little bit more memory at the price of $2500.

These cards were teased back in September, officially came out in October.

Here we are now rolling into January, and we still haven't seen a 60 Siri's Carter a 50 Siri's, which usually debuted within a month or two after the main launches.
