minus-squarewholookshere@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·edit-23 months agoHow is buying hardware based on specs not doing both? To that end, that’s like saying apple doesn’t need to offer higher base specs on things like ssds and internal storage because the performance is the same.
minus-squareSpaceNoodle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 months agoCorrect, there would be no reason for them to purposefully overspec their parts.
minus-squarewholookshere@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·3 months agoSo then why wouldn’t I expect a discount on this v2 card?
minus-squareSpaceNoodle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 months agoBecause you’re paying for the card as a whole, not discrete components.

minus-squareSpaceNoodle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 months agoNo, you’re not purchasing discrete components for use as discrete components.
