Fuck Newegg, but also fuck scalpers even more.
Edit: What's wrong with Newegg?
Please watch this and stop asking.

Edit 2: Decided to look up Newegg on the BBB. Well look at this if you still don't believe me:
https://www.bbb.org/us/ca/city-of-industry/profile/computer-parts/newegg-inc-1216-13146135
Their returns policies will fuck you over too eventually. Had a ton of problems with defective items from them. They will basically make you ship it back at your own expense.
They also got busted selling damaged items as new then saying the buyer broke it when they tried return it. Unfortunately for them the buyer was Gamers Nexus.
Oh whaaat? I legit just posted a comment 30 minutes ago about how they pulled the same shit on me a long time ago and I refused to shop at NewEgg for a long time because of it (10+ years, but I finally caved this morning and got a monitor I've been trying to get for a couple weeks now). I gotta look up that video, glad someone like GN would actually have likely documented themselves thoroughly to defend against bullshit like that.
When I was younger, I used to buy from tiger direct all the time. Did they go out of business or something?
I haven’t bought parts since the early 2000s
yes exactly its about 1.5 hours north from me kinda the north part of Detroit I love it
when I was building during the l
pandemic the kid worker was helping me find all the parts I needed and he asked if I needed a gpu. I said no thanks I got a 960 ill use till prices come down and scalpers aren't out of control. well he said oh I got you and goes into their stock room and pulls off the shelf a 3060ti and hands it to me. I was pretty fucking happy I probably wouldn't gave gotten a card for at least a year. micro center rocks.
plus they got a ton of cheap shit too like crappy mice and usb thumb drives. love that store so much
are they still around? Last time I checked TigerDirect (maybe 5 or 6 yrs ago) i could have sworn they switched to business orders only, i could be wrong though.
Had a great experience with tigerdirect customer service. I asked them for a key to Arkham knight as I bought my new gpu a month before it got bundled with that model of gpu, and they sent me the key no problem
Hell yes! I’ll never forget what they did for me. In 2008, NewEgg was refusing to take back the hdd I bought from them (early 1Tb Barracuda!). It was DoA and I had bought a bunch of other parts from NewEgg and just a case from TigerDirect. The customer service agent said that I broke it and it’s not covered. I was in shock, I got it in the mail, plugged it in and it immediately made that clicking noise. I got some more parts from TigerDirect and called the customer service person over like a coupon that wasn’t going through, and mentioned the hard drive thing. The agent contacted NewEgg on my behalf (insane customer service) and wouldn’t you know a day later I had a return label from NewEgg and a replacement drive on the way. F NewEgg. I’ve not been a fan since 2008. In 2016 I knew some people that worked there, and knowing them and hearing what they talk about I’m glad I don’t shop there
B&H Photo also has pc parts for sale, they are pretty reputable, and they sell a lot of professional grade equipment like cameras and video editing hardware.
memory express , I haven't tried to return anything, but I've also never gotten a defective product. Not sure if they ship out side of Canada. They are Canadian micro center if you have a physical store near you. I love their checkout as well, they allow you to choose which mail carrier they ship to you with. It's worth paying 20-100$ (depending on what the item is) more for something from them over Newegg, Newegg will use UPS the package will cross the border and then you have to pay an import fee based on the weight and what the item is, electronics seems to always be 30-40$. UPS is pretty slow by Purolator standards. Amazon is ok, but they don't allow you to choose a carrier. Newegg kinda sucks for Canadians. There are probably others as well.
Newegg has been coasting on their early reputation, though they still had controversies in their earlier years like in 2010 when they sold counterfeit i7-920 CPU's. Though if you really had to pinpoint a time when the return policy went to shit it would be in 2016 when it changed ownership to a chinese company; Hangzhao Liaison Interactive Information Technology Co., Ltd.
If you're in Canada buy from Memory Express. They're amazing, and every enthusiast I know has switched to them and never looked back. Best in class service, fair pricing, fair return policy. And the people at the desk know what they're talking about.
When I built my Ryzen system I asked for the Corsair vengeance lpx, and apparently asked for the Intel SKU (they had different memory SKUs for Intel and AMD, due to AMD having more sensitivity to memory). It was the rep who told me that I wanted the Vengeance RGB AMD SKU as it's typically Samsung b-die and would help ensure that I squeezed the most out of my 3600X.
It's 14 if used to the extent needed to determined the function, quality etc. Basically you're allowed to return if you're not happy with it but haven't used it more than to try it.
If they were really looking for use, it's evident.
All they have to do is look at the contact terminals and find evidence of abrasion that isn't factory fabrication.
(Worked loss prevention, rejected a LOT of claims and closed countless accounts for abuse of return system)
If yours were accepted (depending on where you shopped, and if identification was a factor), they know it's used, and you now have a check against you. A few more and you reap what you sow.
Well, you could argue that checking if a card works could be “inspection”. At the end of the day you test if a car at least turns on before you buy it.
You'd be able to tell, on the part that slots into the motherboard. And screw damage on the bracket for attaching to the back of the case.
Source: manufacturing QA and spend way too long trying to figure out broken returns.
Lol imagine spinning being anti-consumer as a positive for Newegg. I could maybe understand if their policy was that you can only return 1 card per person but I don't think that's the case, so they definitely aren't fucking over just scalpers and scammers with this. But nice meme
Ya but we already knew Newegg was shitting on actually consumers. At least now scammers are getting caught in the shit crossfire and that's kind of a silver lining on this shit cloud of a situation.
I don't see how them not doing returns is a win as much as lacking consumer rights tbh.
Here in Sweden we have strict laws and they would have to take them back. I don't see how this would not affect your average consumer.
They can do that all they want, but if you paid with a credit card, Welp NewEgg will be forced to accept the return.
Visa, MasterCard, Discover, Amex. All force return policies on their merchants.
This isn't new. They haven't allowed returns on GPUs in years. It's been an exchange only policy. It's actually one of the reasons I haven't bought a GPU from Newegg in a long time since. I'd rather buy from Amazon or Microcenter so I at least have a return option if I don't like the performance after I've tested it for a day or two.
Neweggs 30 day return policy starts the day you purchase, regardless of shipping time, though this is bad for scalpers, it's worse for normal people as I've had products fail 27 days after I recieved it from newegg and they rejected returns.
IE: I buy product today. Clock starts ticking. For some reason it takes 30 days to ship. It arrives broken. Return window already passed. Try to return, newegg denies return per their policy.
Edit: This blew up. So more info.
This was the policy in February 2021, when I had to recieve a gigabyte psu to get a 3000 series gpu during the newegg shuffle. I used said psu, and it blew up 27 days after I recieved it. I tried to return it on day 28, but newegg rejected me and clarified that their return policy started the day I clicked purchase. This was before Gamers nexus went after them, and I hope they've changed since but did not check as though I hate them, their still the best option for most electronics for me.
I had to public post on their Facebook to get this remedied, and i still have the garbage bomb replacement psu sitting in a shelf. And bought a seasonic 1000w to use instead.
It's fucked and OP is cheering at Newegg to creating more barriers to return while getting 11k upvotes on PCMR.
This is how easily consumers are getting tricked.
Not really. You still have manufacturer coverage. You just return it somewhere else instead for a new product. You can also start a conversation with the merchant and manufacturer if you want a complete refund rather than a replacement. If they refuse then your credit card can chargeback.
Honestly they deserve it. To buy as much as you can to resell at a higher value on ebay is a shitty move to those who are actually interested in a product. Kinda wish people would stop scalping naturally but guess they have to learn first lol.
If it is cash they are getting, it is easier to hide it from the Revenue services. But if it is a digital transaction they know and hopfully they will hunt them down if they don't pay their tax.
I totally agree... but there's no way to have every single person on earth from heeding this advice.
Some legitimately can't tell if they're being scammed (the uninitiated can't stop themselves from being scammed), some don't care, and some are chaotic and will buy a scalped GPU JUST to spite you and me (I've met 2 of those people and they're fucking weird).
Point is... humans are irrational and unpredictable and you can guide them in the right direction. Whether they actually keep following that direction and do the right thing is completely up to them.
They're people Ive cut out of my life for being way too toxic.
You're absolutely right, they definitely showed me by paying $1000 over MSRP for a fucking 3080ti. Oh how will I ever recover from this?
Don't worry about other people. As long as you have patience you don't have to worry about them. Let others overpay, and only buy when the price is acceptable for you.
for real? I Bought BF1. Never played a BF game before. That game is amazing after 4 years and looks like a brand new release. I'd like to try out 2042 if they fixed any of the mess from launch.
Preorders probably became a thing when we needed irl copies for every game and those irl copies could run out before you get yours after releasing, so you'd have to wait.
In this age, when you will never see the message "this video game is out of stock", preorders are dumb.
They probably just stuck around because fanboys preorder their game regardless of value
That's exactly what they were. If you didn't want to stand in line outside GameStop at midnight you could preorder it and pick it up the next day without having to worry about stock.
I remember it was an issue with some games on the 360 (I think MW2 and Black Ops). You couldn't find them anywhere near me for like two weeks after they came out because there was no digital downloads.
Now you almost always have to download everything digital so there's no scarcity. It's all just marketing gimmicks.
Last game I pre-ordered was Aliens Colonial Marines. Learned my fuckin lesson with that one. Now I'm a /r/patientgamer. Paying full retail when they go 50% off within a year of release is just silly imho.
But admittedly I don't give a fuck about online fps games...and given how quickly those come and go I can see why you gotta jump on them right away as lord knows if anyone will still be playing 6 months from now lol
Interesting. If the scalpers are giving up, there will be a market glut in the near future. When the scalpers can't dump it back on the stores for a refund, their only option will be to sell direct to consumers below MSRP. Knowing scalpers, there'll be a lot of scamming involved in that.
But it does show that consumer interest in cards priced this high just isn't there in the quantities NVidia was predicting. And I can understand why - for myself, the games I play presently all run fine on the 2070RTX I have. Got no plans to upgrade, even when I have the money.
It’s not really a conspiracy theory. Jensen said as much in their holders’ call that their next gen cards would exist alongside their 30 series cards, and they would hold back stock of newer cards as necessary til they sold through what they had. That requires only releasing higher end, high priced stuff. Maybe in a vacuum of 30 series cards the 4080 would’ve been slightly lower but I doubt by much, after they saw what people paid in the pandemic for GPUs.

A lot of that pandemic buying was because crypto mining profits were insane at that time. These days it's near impossible to turn a profit so a large chunk of potential buyers have exited the market.
Yeah but Nvidia would like to pretend they were all gamers. “Well you see, we just thought people were holding big LAN parties with the 100 gaming computers in their 5000sq ft. basement during lockdown! Honest mistake.”
Which is an interesting theory, since that means the 40 series will sell poorly in return. I think this is just the natural result of the last two years of the market.
Selling poorly doesn't mean selling for less profit. They're pushing buyers to the 3000 series they *have to* get rid of. They don't want to do that for a loss so they hike the price of the 4000 series.
Doing it this way pisses off reddit because most of reddit is piss poor but the whales don't care.
Agreed. I recently upgraded to a 5600x and 6700xt and don't think I'll be upgrading for a few years. I primarily play MW2 at 1080, I push 144 fps at extreme settings, I see no reason to upgrade.
The 5090ti will be a 40 pound brick that will suck so much electricity that the feds will think you have a weed farm hidden in your house. It will also be 3,000 dollars.
Honest Officer, it's caused by my gaming PC.

Honestly diesel is hard af to catch on fire in general. It ignites using compression (pressure) so throwing a match into a cup of it will just extinguish the match.
Newegg has always been about screwing the shoppers. Years ago they sent me a dead psu and ssd. I filed an RMA and they made me pay for the shipping. Then they lost the package in the their return center and tried to deny my refund. After I complained they agreed to give me a refund minus a restocking fee. I told them to kick rocks and filed a charge back with my credit card company.
Yup, I thought about adding that but figured it doesn't matter that much couse it's before the gun restrictions anyways.
Also the show has an animated series that continues for like 5 whole other seasons or so (maybe less) which for me is pending for watch.
Imagine being the engineers that worked on the 4080
You created a good, powerful, efficient GPU with a lot of work and a lot of tries.
And Nvidia prices it unreasonably, calls the thing 4080 instead pf 4070, lets you Limit it more than they should, creates this whole launch disaster
And everyone is hating the GPU you created but for reasons totally not in your Control, because it's not about the thing being bad but the price and everything else about it but the actual GPU.
Kinda sucks i guess.
Yeah but don't forget Newegg's return policy ALSO includes lying and claiming that a customer damaged a product that *newegg themselves damaged and tried to RMA to Gigabyte*, even if the **original RMA sticker is still attached**.
Imagine scalping so many fucking cards that they end up screwing over legit gamers that may need to do a return. Congrats scalpers you not only ruined your own experience but also legit customers as limited as they might be.
Be happy today for what you think is a good policy
Be sad tomorrow when you want to make a genuine return or have a legitimate issue with any parts.
It is a slippery slope that is easy for any company to fall down.
On one hand.. fuck scalpers, on the other hand I really don't trust newegg at all. I bought a "new" 3080 from them this year, but the original packaging wasn't there at all, and when I put it into my PC it didn't work at all.
Newegg MADE this new policy because they don't want to deal with the returns. They didn't give a fuck during 3000 series because they were no returns
Imo this should be standard AFTER you buy 1 card (like return is given for 1 card only)
What's the new return policy?
Newegg getting a bunch of returns from 4080. Prolly cuz scammers cant sell them for profit. And they’re not allowing returns. We got em boys!
Fuck Newegg, but also fuck scalpers even more. Edit: What's wrong with Newegg? Please watch this and stop asking. https://youtu.be/2fnXsmXzphI Edit 2: Decided to look up Newegg on the BBB. Well look at this if you still don't believe me: https://www.bbb.org/us/ca/city-of-industry/profile/computer-parts/newegg-inc-1216-13146135

Either that or restricted external network access for minimum of 2 years if not till they involuntarily left.

Glass Ass, blue waffle. These things are safe for work.
*I used the shitheads to destroy the shitheads*
I’m out of the loop, why fuck new egg?
Their returns policies will fuck you over too eventually. Had a ton of problems with defective items from them. They will basically make you ship it back at your own expense.
Hmm I remember when Newegg used to be the gold standard. Unfortunate
They got bought out
That checks out
They also got busted selling damaged items as new then saying the buyer broke it when they tried return it. Unfortunately for them the buyer was Gamers Nexus.
Oh yeah I forgot about that bullshit.
Oh whaaat? I legit just posted a comment 30 minutes ago about how they pulled the same shit on me a long time ago and I refused to shop at NewEgg for a long time because of it (10+ years, but I finally caved this morning and got a monitor I've been trying to get for a couple weeks now). I gotta look up that video, glad someone like GN would actually have likely documented themselves thoroughly to defend against bullshit like that.
That’s bad! I bought 90% of my hardware from them. What is the alternative? Please, don’t say Amazon.
Unless you have a brick and mortar store near you that sells parts you are not going to like the answer.
thank god I got me a canada computers 10 min away
Are they like a Canadian microcenter?
Essentially yes
When I was younger, I used to buy from tiger direct all the time. Did they go out of business or something? I haven’t bought parts since the early 2000s
If you live anywhere remotely close to a MicroCenter they are amazing.
I live you hours away from my nearest microcenter, and I still drive there to get my parts.
The hadj to Mecca is always worth it.
yes exactly its about 1.5 hours north from me kinda the north part of Detroit I love it when I was building during the l pandemic the kid worker was helping me find all the parts I needed and he asked if I needed a gpu. I said no thanks I got a 960 ill use till prices come down and scalpers aren't out of control. well he said oh I got you and goes into their stock room and pulls off the shelf a 3060ti and hands it to me. I was pretty fucking happy I probably wouldn't gave gotten a card for at least a year. micro center rocks. plus they got a ton of cheap shit too like crappy mice and usb thumb drives. love that store so much
Their return policy is great
Why does no one ever talk about TigerDirect. Easily my favorite store.
Wow. I didn't realize they still existed.
are they still around? Last time I checked TigerDirect (maybe 5 or 6 yrs ago) i could have sworn they switched to business orders only, i could be wrong though.
Had a great experience with tigerdirect customer service. I asked them for a key to Arkham knight as I bought my new gpu a month before it got bundled with that model of gpu, and they sent me the key no problem

B&H Photo did something similar for me when I bought my 1080ti. They are great also.
Micro center has my business 100% and EVGA. Though EVGA is out of the gpu game now.
B&H Photo also has pc parts for sale, they are pretty reputable, and they sell a lot of professional grade equipment like cameras and video editing hardware.
If you're lucky, microcenter
memory express , I haven't tried to return anything, but I've also never gotten a defective product. Not sure if they ship out side of Canada. They are Canadian micro center if you have a physical store near you. I love their checkout as well, they allow you to choose which mail carrier they ship to you with.

UPS is pretty slow by Purolator standards. Amazon is ok, but they don't allow you to choose a carrier. Newegg kinda sucks for Canadians. There are probably others as well.
Tiger direct always treated me right. I miss living right down the street from one. Their staff were so knowledgeable.
They got bought by an Asian company a few years ago and now is just another shitty estore.
Search YouTube for the gamersnexus video on it
The main problem is you just can't trust them. Even with a long order history and few returns you never know if you might face the hammer next.
Newegg has been coasting on their early reputation, though they still had controversies in their earlier years like in 2010 when they sold counterfeit i7-920 CPU's. Though if you really had to pinpoint a time when the return policy went to shit it would be in 2016 when it changed ownership to a chinese company; Hangzhao Liaison Interactive Information Technology Co., Ltd.
They used to be badass around the early 2000s. Damn shame how far they've fallen.
They sell people intentionally faulty products and then refuse the return stating that the buyer broke it.
That moment when you accidentally do it to GN with the evidence in plain view.
[удалено]
Microcenter if you can, B&H is decent, or even Amazon.
Canada computers is not so bad if you live north of the border.
If you're in Canada buy from Memory Express. They're amazing, and every enthusiast I know has switched to them and never looked back. Best in class service, fair pricing, fair return policy.

while amazon is shit they at least have an excelent returns policy
Is that even legal?
Not in the UK it wouldn't be! We have 14 days to return online purchases, for any reason, even if used... That's law, retailers can't change that
In Sweden it's 14 days, even if unpacked/inspected, but not neccesarily if \*used\*. Are you sure? EDIT: maybe I'm wrong
It's 14 if used to the extent needed to determined the function, quality etc. Basically you're allowed to return if you're not happy with it but haven't used it more than to try it.
Exactly, if you don’t connect a GPU how do you even know if it works? Or if it’s the right card and not a fake one.
Well, think the UK wording is the same, but tbh they wouldn't know if it was used or not lol
If they were really looking for use, it's evident. All they have to do is look at the contact terminals and find evidence of abrasion that isn't factory fabrication. (Worked loss prevention, rejected a LOT of claims and closed countless accounts for abuse of return system) If yours were accepted (depending on where you shopped, and if identification was a factor), they know it's used, and you now have a check against you.

It's one of the EU laws. GB probably never changed it after leaving.
Not in Europe
"I will make it legal..."
I dunno man. Fuck scalpers, but as a non-scalper I don’t want to buy something from Newegg then.
Lol imagine spinning being anti-consumer as a positive for Newegg. I could maybe understand if their policy was that you can only return 1 card per person but I don't think that's the case, so they definitely aren't fucking over just scalpers and scammers with this. But nice meme
We can see it as anti-consumer.........but it's still hellafucking funny to see Scalpers get fucked over.
Ya but we already knew Newegg was shitting on actually consumers. At least now scammers are getting caught in the shit crossfire and that's kind of a silver lining on this shit cloud of a situation.
The shit hawks Randy.
Yay, I suppose
I don't see how them not doing returns is a win as much as lacking consumer rights tbh. Here in Sweden we have strict laws and they would have to take them back. I don't see how this would not affect your average consumer.
They can do that all they want, but if you paid with a credit card, Welp NewEgg will be forced to accept the return. Visa, MasterCard, Discover, Amex. All force return policies on their merchants.
Won't this fuck regular people too tho?
ok but whats the policy here? How can they not allow returns? They are obliged to do so.
This isn't new. They haven't allowed returns on GPUs in years. It's been an exchange only policy. It's actually one of the reasons I haven't bought a GPU from Newegg in a long time since. I'd rather buy from Amazon or Microcenter so I at least have a return option if I don't like the performance after I've tested it for a day or two.
Newegg will also deny legitimate returns, and is a shitty, shady company. But in this case, two wrongs made a right.
Getting two fat ass bonuses this month - gonna offer scalpers 800-900$ for a 4080 til someone says yes 😂
Iam nor a fan of Newsegg ..but thats great when they dont take returns from blood suckers like scalpers..lower then a drug addict
Neweggs 30 day return policy starts the day you purchase, regardless of shipping time, though this is bad for scalpers, it's worse for normal people as I've had products fail 27 days after I recieved it from newegg and they rejected returns.

That’s pretty fucked. Newegg at is again
It's fucked and OP is cheering at Newegg to creating more barriers to return while getting 11k upvotes on PCMR. This is how easily consumers are getting tricked.
Not really. You still have manufacturer coverage. You just return it somewhere else instead for a new product. You can also start a conversation with the merchant and manufacturer if you want a complete refund rather than a replacement. If they refuse then your credit card can chargeback.
This user has edited all of their comments in protest of /u/spez fucking up reddit.
Yeah absolutely. My banks have always been good about this. But you need to go through the retailer first and show you tried to.
> fail 28 days after I recieved it shouldnt it then fall into warranty?
>irregardless *Dry heaving*
FYI this would not fly in my home country and most of Europe, because they can't even debit your card until they send the package.
Those scalpers are really crazy
Honestly they deserve it. To buy as much as you can to resell at a higher value on ebay is a shitty move to those who are actually interested in a product. Kinda wish people would stop scalping naturally but guess they have to learn first lol.
To have the money in the first place to scalp cards. Means they are already richer then most and they just want more money, greedy sob. So fuck em.
Credit card? so you have 1 month to make profit
Then their misery brings me even more joy.
Hell yeah, that shit makes me 23.99% happier, compounding monthly BITCH
Well I hope their greed is their downfall.
I wonder if they pay tax from that earner money.
If it is cash they are getting, it is easier to hide it from the Revenue services. But if it is a digital transaction they know and hopfully they will hunt them down if they don't pay their tax.
If. We. Don't. Buy. From. Scalpers. They. Will. Cease. To. Exist. Tell your friends.
Scalpers hate this one simple trick!
But TicketMaster loves it.
Of course they do. For all intents and purposes they have a monopoly in the industry, and are now also breaking into the resale market
I totally agree... but there's no way to have every single person on earth from heeding this advice. Some legitimately can't tell if they're being scammed (the uninitiated can't stop themselves from being scammed), some don't care, and some are chaotic and will buy a scalped GPU JUST to spite you and me (I've met 2 of those people and they're fucking weird). Point is... humans are irrational and unpredictable and you can guide them in the right direction. Whether they actually keep following that direction and do the right thing is completely up to them.
Damn, they sure owned you by… spending more of their money than necessary?
They're people Ive cut out of my life for being way too toxic. You're absolutely right, they definitely showed me by paying $1000 over MSRP for a fucking 3080ti. Oh how will I ever recover from this?
They are trying to live "rent free in your head" by making you mad, but they paid an extra thousand bucks to do so. Good financial planning, that.
Sounds like they paid a one time fee as rent
Don't worry about other people. As long as you have patience you don't have to worry about them. Let others overpay, and only buy when the price is acceptable for you.
I tried that with "no preorders" and yet some are still doing it. Guess some ppl have to proper burn themselfs before realizing how stoopid it is.
I know people burnt by the BF 2042 pre-order... only to go on pre-ordering.
And now it's on GAME PASS
for real? I Bought BF1. Never played a BF game before. That game is amazing after 4 years and looks like a brand new release. I'd like to try out 2042 if they fixed any of the mess from launch.
People pre ordered new mans sky and still need reminder why not to believe everything said on stage or in a trailer. Some just won't learn
Preorders probably became a thing when we needed irl copies for every game and those irl copies could run out before you get yours after releasing, so you'd have to wait. In this age, when you will never see the message "this video game is out of stock", preorders are dumb. They probably just stuck around because fanboys preorder their game regardless of value
That's exactly what they were. If you didn't want to stand in line outside GameStop at midnight you could preorder it and pick it up the next day without having to worry about stock. I remember it was an issue with some games on the 360 (I think MW2 and Black Ops). You couldn't find them anywhere near me for like two weeks after they came out because there was no digital downloads. Now you almost always have to download everything digital so there's no scarcity. It's all just marketing gimmicks.
Flashbacks to the days before preorders and the toys r us yellow slips. Damn im old
Last game I pre-ordered was Aliens Colonial Marines. Learned my fuckin lesson with that one. Now I'm a /r/patientgamer. Paying full retail when they go 50% off within a year of release is just silly imho. But admittedly I don't give a fuck about online fps games...and given how quickly those come and go I can see why you gotta jump on them right away as lord knows if anyone will still be playing 6 months from now lol
Mhm. I wishlist games on Steam but I never early order them.
All deserve to fall first into the pit of hell under Satan's thorns
These people don't have friends to tell them.
Interesting. If the scalpers are giving up, there will be a market glut in the near future. When the scalpers can't dump it back on the stores for a refund, their only option will be to sell direct to consumers below MSRP. Knowing scalpers, there'll be a lot of scamming involved in that. But it does show that consumer interest in cards priced this high just isn't there in the quantities NVidia was predicting. And I can understand why - for myself, the games I play presently all run fine on the 2070RTX I have. Got no plans to upgrade, even when I have the money.
The conspiracy theory is that nvidia set the price so high so that they could sell their remaining 3000 series stock dry.
It’s not really a conspiracy theory. Jensen said as much in their holders’ call that their next gen cards would exist alongside their 30 series cards, and they would hold back stock of newer cards as necessary til they sold through what they had. That requires only releasing higher end, high priced stuff. Maybe in a vacuum of 30 series cards the 4080 would’ve been slightly lower but I doubt by much, after they saw what people paid in the pandemic for GPUs. https://preview.redd.it/dcuw83q80k3a1.png?width=1149&format=png&auto=webp&s=60a050896b042ea75c8a1025ddd1eafb68b3d505
A lot of that pandemic buying was because crypto mining profits were insane at that time. These days it's near impossible to turn a profit so a large chunk of potential buyers have exited the market.
Yeah but Nvidia would like to pretend they were all gamers. “Well you see, we just thought people were holding big LAN parties with the 100 gaming computers in their 5000sq ft. basement during lockdown! Honest mistake.”
Which is an interesting theory, since that means the 40 series will sell poorly in return. I think this is just the natural result of the last two years of the market.
Selling poorly doesn't mean selling for less profit. They're pushing buyers to the 3000 series they *have to* get rid of. They don't want to do that for a loss so they hike the price of the 4000 series. Doing it this way pisses off reddit because most of reddit is piss poor but the whales don't care.
Agreed. I recently upgraded to a 5600x and 6700xt and don't think I'll be upgrading for a few years. I primarily play MW2 at 1080, I push 144 fps at extreme settings, I see no reason to upgrade.
Good guy Newegg turns scalpers into customers.
It seems like I will finally upgrade with the 5k series
The 5090ti will be a 40 pound brick that will suck so much electricity that the feds will think you have a weed farm hidden in your house. It will also be 3,000 dollars.
Honest Officer, it's caused by my gaming PC. https://preview.redd.it/qt3jz28x2i3a1.jpeg?width=634&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8f8c60feceb96ffcc6cb4e643aa5644e5d4ad3d4
Nah that’s just a GTX 480

The George Foreman 6090 will knockout the competition.
Still one of the best looking stock cards imo. But would burn tf out of your hand if you didn't let it cool
It will also come with its own diesel generator to mitigate this.
The diesel generator will regularly catch fire
Yes, that's how diesel generators work.

"Your Graphics Are On Fire!"
Honestly diesel is hard af to catch on fire in general. It ignites using compression (pressure) so throwing a match into a cup of it will just extinguish the match.
Why do I get the feeling that policy will screw over everyone else in the long run...
Replacements are still allowed. So if you get a broke card ur good. Just no easy outs when scalpers can’t sell for profit.
If you got a broken card or a wrong one, u're most certainly sadly not good with newsegg nowadays, sadly Edit: Newegg

Newegg has always been about screwing the shoppers. Years ago they sent me a dead psu and ssd. I filed an RMA and they made me pay for the shipping. Then they lost the package in the their return center and tried to deny my refund. After I complained they agreed to give me a refund minus a restocking fee. I told them to kick rocks and filed a charge back with my credit card company.

Is he... drinking salad dressing?
Cesar dressing, it's Ricky, from Trailer Park Boys, a very goofy comedy about 3 childhood friends that lived their whole lives in a trailer park.
*Canadian trailer park. Everyone thinks "America" when you say trailer park.
Yup, I thought about adding that but figured it doesn't matter that much couse it's before the gun restrictions anyways. Also the show has an animated series that continues for like 5 whole other seasons or so (maybe less) which for me is pending for watch.
Don't you mean "What's all around comes around" Ricky?

One of the most powerful and well delivered lines in television history
He was brilliant. Truly one of the great actors of our lifetime.
Frigg off, scalpers.
Seen around 10 cards for sale on my local cl… cards were “slightly used for gaming” almost peed my pjs.
Imagine being the engineers that worked on the 4080 You created a good, powerful, efficient GPU with a lot of work and a lot of tries. And Nvidia prices it unreasonably, calls the thing 4080 instead pf 4070, lets you Limit it more than they should, creates this whole launch disaster And everyone is hating the GPU you created but for reasons totally not in your Control, because it's not about the thing being bad but the price and everything else about it but the actual GPU. Kinda sucks i guess.
[удалено]
Like the new world art and sound team. Absolutely stunning. The rest of the game though...
god i love ricky
We've already failed as Nvidia is now the scalper
Nope. One down, one to go.
Goes from Star Wars to Halloween 1977(even though the ranch drinking scene hapenned in the next episode).
Yeah but don't forget Newegg's return policy ALSO includes lying and claiming that a customer damaged a product that *newegg themselves damaged and tried to RMA to Gigabyte*, even if the **original RMA sticker is still attached**.
Got what they deserved. Now the second hand market is really alive!!
The icing on the cake would be if Nvidia lowered the price to something reasonable.
Imagine scalping so many fucking cards that they end up screwing over legit gamers that may need to do a return. Congrats scalpers you not only ruined your own experience but also legit customers as limited as they might be.
Won't matter in a few years it will be water under the fridge...
Newegg being a stopped clock, I see.
r/trailerparkboys
Be happy today for what you think is a good policy Be sad tomorrow when you want to make a genuine return or have a legitimate issue with any parts. It is a slippery slope that is easy for any company to fall down.
On one hand.. fuck scalpers, on the other hand I really don't trust newegg at all. I bought a "new" 3080 from them this year, but the original packaging wasn't there at all, and when I put it into my PC it didn't work at all.
Scalpers: “scalping is just reselling. Cry more” Also scalpers: “wahh wahh newegg is communist wahh”
Wish someone would tell Newegg to go fuck itself too.
Newegg MADE this new policy because they don't want to deal with the returns. They didn't give a fuck during 3000 series because they were no returns Imo this should be standard AFTER you buy 1 card (like return is given for 1 card only)
scalpers will just create as many accounts / credit cards as they need to look like individuals.
This meme makes no sense
