How does one recommend a card barely faster than the old card and more expensive?
I am monitoring their site since just before the launch, oh the mental gymnastics. First, they took down the listing of the RTX4080 Super @ R21 000, I e-mailed and asked them where those GPU's had gone, as I might have wanted to buy one if I couldn't get an RTX5080. The new cards were R28 000 right out the gate, this was before shortages were known. That was already a $375 increase over the previous generation, just "because" then the shortages became known, and now they decided, to ask R24 000 for the previous R21 000 card. (added back after inquiry)
Of course, the usual excuses, shipping, exchange rate, shortage blah blah.
You know, I can smell any type of bull**** all the way to the Andromeda galaxy. Suffice to say, I am thoroughly disgusted by it all, I won't be supporting them, though I bought this PC from them before. I will spend it at another online store, don't have time for their games while trying to look like a "player" in a market that is not nearly that of the EU/China/U.S.A
