My Comment on Hardware Unboxed’s YouTube Post Regarding NVIDIA’s Latest Shady Behavior With the RTX 3060 8GB Model

This is similar to what ADATA did with its XPG M.2 SSDs if I remember correctly (used a low-quality controller for newer batches, which affected performance signficantly). I think this is common practice — which obviously shouldn’t be. Whenever I buy something “brand new” from a local store here in Morocco, I can’t help but think I’m actually getting a used refurbished, or a third-world version of the product, because sometimes I notice the weirdest crap, and considering it’s a high-end product that I always end up paying for hundreds and hundreds of dollar over MSRP, well, let’s just say it always feels like one of the top 10 anime betrayals. Funnily enough, I misread “Nah, it’s fine” as “This is fine.” It’s so sad, and pathetic how NVIDIA dangled their so-called free samples in front of you, and was blatant enough to say crap like, “They [consumers] don’t get free GPUs-they work hard for their money and they keep their GPUs for multiple years.” And now they want those same consumers they pretend to care about to buy a crappy version of a GPU for the same price of the decent one. The level of hypocrisy really makes calling this “very anti-consumer” an understatement.
Ilamoeller commented (regarding the poll attached to the post):

4 who voted ‘nah, it’s fine’ are the employees of NVIDIA.
My reply:
I, myself, was tempted to click that because it reminded me of GN Steve’s use of “THIS IS FINE” meme. In other words, it could be pure sarcasm.
