[2415.28 --> 2417.82] All these guys are going to kind of, like, glom onto a type. |
[2418.16 --> 2421.78] Oh, it's the best value if you get, like, this much RAM and this type of RAM. |
[2421.92 --> 2422.84] So you should buy that kind. |
[2422.90 --> 2426.42] They can create the SKUs now and then just focus on whatever's working later. |
[2426.42 --> 2429.10] Yeah, so they might not end up making a ton of each one. |
[2429.22 --> 2429.56] Yeah. |
[2430.06 --> 2433.62] But I think they'll shift manufacturing to whatever one becomes a major thing. |
[2433.82 --> 2434.70] This is insane, though. |
[2435.00 --> 2438.72] Like, it's, the SKU mess around this is going to be nuts. |
[2438.76 --> 2441.38] And if you're not super into computers, this is going to be a big problem. |
[2441.38 --> 2451.62] The other issue here is that one of my problems with manufacturers calling different products pretty much the same thing. |
[2451.62 --> 2454.14] Because they're all RTX 2060. |
[2454.34 --> 2459.78] All they had to do was make the GDDR6 ones 2060 Ti or something. |
[2461.18 --> 2463.02] Sample Jerky redirects to Savage Jerky now. |
[2463.02 --> 2465.02] The guy that bought it is a cool dude. |
[2465.46 --> 2465.96] That's funny. |
[2466.02 --> 2468.16] And SampleJerky.com redirects to Savage Jerky. |
[2468.28 --> 2468.58] You don't know. |
[2468.64 --> 2469.20] That's hilarious. |
[2469.46 --> 2470.00] Thank you very much. |
[2470.00 --> 2473.38] So all they had to do was call that one a Ti or something. |
[2474.30 --> 2474.48] Yeah. |
[2474.56 --> 2478.26] And then they can go, okay, now it has either 3, 4, or 6 gigs of RAM. |
[2478.80 --> 2481.02] Because Ti, people kind of get Ti now. |
[2481.18 --> 2481.46] Yes. |
[2482.14 --> 2482.94] Ti's not that bad. |
[2483.30 --> 2483.80] Ti's okay. |
[2484.34 --> 2485.34] It's been around for a while. |
[2485.42 --> 2485.96] People are used to it. |
[2486.04 --> 2486.44] Titanium. |
[2486.58 --> 2486.74] Yeah. |
[2486.80 --> 2487.28] It's pretty cool. |
[2487.36 --> 2487.66] It's hard. |
[2487.92 --> 2488.06] Yeah. |
[2489.50 --> 2490.20] Titanium, it's hard. |
[2490.32 --> 2490.50] Yeah. |
[2491.84 --> 2492.04] Yeah. |
[2492.04 --> 2492.48] Yeah. |
[2492.48 --> 2500.40] But this, all this does is make it so that the only way to differentiate one card from |
[2500.40 --> 2502.30] another is through the manufacturer part number. |
[2502.42 --> 2505.86] Something that very rarely even ends up in a product description on a website. |
[2506.46 --> 2512.46] So if you're looking for reviews of the RTX 2060, you might find a review. |
[2512.50 --> 2513.80] And we've seen this strategy. |
[2514.20 --> 2521.74] You might find a review of the RTX 2060 GDDR6 overclocked thing, because that's what the manufacturer |
[2521.74 --> 2523.02] is sampled to all the press. |
[2523.32 --> 2528.30] And then you might see that and go, well, that can't be that different from the 3 gig |
[2528.30 --> 2530.76] GDDR5 non-overclocked one. |
[2531.00 --> 2534.92] But the thing is that we might be looking at, even if that performance delta is only like |
[2534.92 --> 2537.86] 10%, 12%, 15%. |
[2537.86 --> 2539.12] Let's say it's somewhere in that range. |
[2539.12 --> 2545.62] You look at how compressed the stacks of technology products have become, and those are completely |
[2545.62 --> 2546.78] different products now. |
[2547.34 --> 2551.22] 10% difference in performance is not the same product anymore. |
[2551.22 --> 2555.30] And it's very frustrating to me that we get the same name assigned to both of them. |
[2555.60 --> 2557.34] Now, to be clear, I don't blame Gigabyte for this. |
[2557.76 --> 2559.38] I blame NVIDIA for this. |
[2559.44 --> 2559.54] Yeah. |
[2560.40 --> 2560.80] 100%. |
[2560.80 --> 2561.16] Because... |
[2561.16 --> 2565.08] Gigabyte's just trying to cover themselves and be like, whichever one of these goes gangbusters, |
[2565.22 --> 2566.96] we need to be ready for it. |
[2567.02 --> 2569.20] If I was the product manager at Gigabyte, I'd do the same thing. |
[2569.32 --> 2569.48] Yeah. |
[2569.52 --> 2570.82] I'd be ready to go with all of it. |
[2570.82 --> 2573.18] I would be really frustrated about it, but I would do the same thing. |
[2576.08 --> 2576.56] I don't know. |
[2576.60 --> 2578.52] This is just yet another example of NVIDIA's arrogance. |
[2578.52 --> 2579.70] Like, they just don't give a crap. |
[2580.10 --> 2584.16] Like, the amount of extra headache and cost that this adds for their partners to have |
[2584.16 --> 2588.88] to support all of these SKUs, it just doesn't make any sense. |
[2589.92 --> 2595.66] Because the thing about it is that you'll get this price sheet, and the manufacturer already |
[2595.66 --> 2596.22] knows. |
[2596.72 --> 2598.70] They already know which ones are the focus models. |
[2599.14 --> 2599.26] Yeah. |
[2599.34 --> 2600.38] They just get rid of the other stuff. |
[2600.42 --> 2601.24] Why are we doing this? |
[2601.40 --> 2601.62] Yeah. |
[2602.34 --> 2602.82] I don't know. |
[2602.82 --> 2604.66] I gave Asus a hard time about this a few years ago. |
[2605.52 --> 2607.78] So, this was pre-RGB. |
[2608.22 --> 2611.18] This was back in, like, back when they were doing that weird gold thing. |
[2612.38 --> 2614.72] With, like, that kind of tacky, yellowy gold. |
[2614.94 --> 2618.24] Which is funny, because that got, like, really hot shortly after, anyway. |
[2618.24 --> 2624.42] And I was telling them, look, you guys sell, like, three boards, okay? |
[2624.80 --> 2625.90] In the mainstream lineup. |
[2626.40 --> 2627.42] Leaving out ROG. |
[2627.68 --> 2630.70] You've got your dash A, or, like, your blank one. |
[2631.08 --> 2638.02] So, your P whatever, chipset name, D, A, or just with nothing. |
[2638.14 --> 2638.32] Yeah. |
[2638.44 --> 2639.16] You got that one. |
[2639.58 --> 2641.44] Then you've got your whatever pro. |
[2641.70 --> 2644.62] Which is usually that one with, like, a couple features. |
[2644.92 --> 2647.40] Like, raid support or something like that. |
[2647.40 --> 2650.94] Then you've got your deluxe, which is your Cadillac board. |
[2651.70 --> 2652.58] Everything else. |
[2652.68 --> 2656.26] And there's, obviously, you need a micro ATX one or whatever. |
[2656.58 --> 2660.14] But all the other ATX boards, and there would be, like, nine in the lineup, |
[2660.64 --> 2666.02] would sell drips and drabs, and those three are moving the vast majority of the volume. |
[2666.02 --> 2669.40] And I was like, look, wouldn't it be a better idea at this point? |
[2669.46 --> 2673.18] Because this was at a time when NZXT was starting to take off as a case manufacturer. |
