Anyone think of this? Maybe it's a money move.
How is nvidia ripping people off when they are selling good video cards for a decent price? Its not their fault people in general are too stupid to wait 2 months to buy something. I suggested in someones thread not to buy g92 and plan on stepping up because ATI is not pushing Nvidia at all = nvidia doesn't have to rush out the newer cards. Look what happened now. I'm seriously laughing at anyone that is "stuck" with a g92 and anyone that feels sorry them.

Edit: Anything "good" hardware/software wise has had delays that I can remember lately. Anyone with half a brain should expect/plan on at least a month delay from the leaked/announced release date. Especially with something like a step-up where you have a limited amount of time.

So, please prove your claims before you ask other people to prove what they say.

You are telling me that GX2 will be based on the G92 as if HD3870 X2 is going to be based on a new core !

Yes I have a link that say that 9800GX2 is going to be $449

Erm, your post was arrogant, and had a holier than thou feel to it when I read it. Now for my own holier than thou part of my post; I dont care what you say about your post not flaming or insulting people, because its NOT up to you to decide how your post is taken by other people. Not everyone can be told "they cant prove anything" and take it in good stride . I am not one of them.
--------------
Anyways, any sort of conspiracy like this is to let Nvidia make more money is false. The OEM's, like eVGA distribute the cards. Nvidia doesnt make the $500 or however much a card costs. They make less than that. They are the supplier to eVGA, XFX, BFG, ect ect.

I didn't claim that others are arrogant. I never did that, and I challenge you to show the opposite.

Second, this guy was insulting me by his post, please just read post. He is accusing me that I'm flaming people. What is the point of that ? I never talked to that guy and I will never do because I don't like him, so why he just don't leave me alone. Who asked him to question whether or not I were banned in this ironic way? His post is off-topic and it is meaningless.

I don't think my post is arrogant but the problem is that when someone disagree with you, you automatically attack your opponent and accuse him that he is arrogant etc

If telling you that "you cant prove anything" is an insult to you then thats your problem. I don't see how this is an insult. It seems that you are very sensitive person. And what I said was the truth because you have never proved any of your points.
Before you I told you that, you asked me to prove my points, but why you ask me that if you can't prove any of your points ? Isn't that a kind of "insult" also

Am I missing something here?
some people bought their cards in december, which means that it will be over right before they upgrade the cards. I think mine will be done in Feb., which angers me a lot. Oh well, I can probably sell it and get most of my money back.
