[Music]
and this is five minutes before
the launch and then launch comes
the whole roller coaster just gives out
[Music]
so early in the morning or late last
night i'm in australia so it was a late
launch for us
the websites here in oz were all down
they were flooded with traffic
and you could get a little bit of
website up and if you got that small
time frame where that website was up for
you and you use basically only text
which is the most important thing if you
want to get one of these cards and you
know demand is going to be
huge you have to put your browser into
text only mode
so that means not loading up the images
and stuff like that because
the servers are so overloaded they're
not going to be able to spit out data
enough so
if you were lucky enough to buy one of
these cards on launch
then you were one of the very small few
where i feel like this launch has just
been
a roller coaster this is the easiest way
to describe it but let's of course talk
about the problem
first and then we can talk about the
solution and the solution unfortunately
ain't going to be one that's going to be
alleviated anytime
soon but uh let's get into it and before
we do if you're new here make sure you
hit that sub button for us and also hit
the like button helps me out a lot on
the youtube algorithm
but what we saw here was nvidia issuing
a public statement
they said they apologize for the launch
of the rtx 3080.
now there's a few things that happened
here right let's backtrack to when
jensen live streamed the rtx 3000 event
he hyped it up big time and
then after that i'm guilty of this too
youtubers are hyping it up
and then it released and i thought the
hype was real
like this thing delivered it delivered
in not only the performance
but it delivered in terms of offering
for me personally that hdmi 2.1
and that connects to those oleds and
you've got 120hz 4k refresh it's
absolutely gorgeous
it's beautiful and so you saw this
reality of this card was at 700 usd it
was a really good buy that's
if you could get it for this price now
in america i saw the pricing on newegg
and it was reasonable like they were
charging 50 more for aib cards
and i've got a review coming out on the
tough gaming soon and the aib model
i feel is uh justified i'd personally go
out and pay the extra 50 bucks for the
aib models i think
they offer better cooling and with that
better overclocks which if you're gaming
at 4k
you're going to want to overclock this
thing to get more performance but we'll
talk about that in the review
when that drops so straight away the
cards in the us were reasonably priced
but
if we go over to good old aussie down
under where i am
this was just a mess like all the
retailers
were charging way more than the 1139
aussie dollars
i think uh ple and mwave
actually had within the realm of realist
pricing like it wasn't a complete ripoff
but then there was other retailers that
were charging
1700 aussie dollars this is the
retailers and that's about 1230 usd for
one of these cards
and i tweeted about this i was like this
is just too much like i mean
the other retailers are offering it for
1400 aussie dollars
where's the extra 300 aussie dollars on
top coming from that's just pure scalp
and this is the problem right here is
that you've now got this additional
element in 2020
where scalpers are coming along and
they're buying up these cards
without the purpose of using them for
gaming
without the purpose of using them for
even crypto mining
and that's the thing if you guys are
worried about crypto miners you don't
have to be
because i've got a video coming out too
where i've tested the crypto mining and
it's not good people are not buying
these cards for crypto mining so what's
happening now is you've got
a lot of demand from gamers and
you've got people who realize that and
they're buying up these cards just with
the purpose of re-flipping them and we
saw on ebay
this absolute mess of people offering
bids for pre-orders
and then you had people that missed out
on cards and so they went and trolled
all the people who were selling these or
scalping these cards
and it just became an absolute mess and
so that leads back to the problem of
if you want to get one of these guys i
know a lot of people want to get one of
these cups
what do you do about it and i don't
recommend going out and paying double
retail that's what the scalpers want you
to do that's how they make their buck
that's how they
get justified to keep doing what they do
and this is the funny thing if people
think oh this is an nvidia problem
this is not just an nvidia problem this
is also ps5 the playstation 5.
uh the pre-orders opened up at least
here in australia they opened up
yesterday morning and that sold out like
pretty much
really quickly and so now the
playstation 5
that's sold out until 2021 that's
pre-orders for playstation 5s
so i can only imagine what happens when
the series x drops where the series x
looks like it'll perform
even faster than the playstation 5. i
think people are just going to go crazy
for these new consoles but we're also
seeing people going crazy for these new
rtx 3000 cards so
demand for these latest and greatest
tech products in 2020
is simply it's at a level that's never
been
at such a level in the history of any
gaming product really
crazy demand crazy demand is gonna come
these supply shortages because if
anything
at least at least you egg like i gotta
say at least new egg
i do give them props for not just
blasting the prices out of reality
and so that's at least that's one thing
that came out of this that was actually
good
new egg didn't scout people so newegg
kudos to you guys
for not trying to scalp uh the launch
prices
but from here on in there's simply
there's got to be a newer system in
place that's the only solution for it
and what is the solution well i saw some
retailers doing
raffle tickets and i'm and i know people
will laugh straight away like what
you've got to enter in for a chance to
buy a card
and really when you look at that the
raffle system i think
that's the only way to do it right now
because that's the fairest way
you're making sure it's not going into
the hands of a bot and so this is
another problem that's happened you've
got
these bots that are just essentially
what a bot is is it's just a
automated program that will do what you
tell it to do in this case buy up
graphics cards from the websites
extremely fast
and so that was a problem that's been
around for a while now
and scalping is nothing new i mean
scalping
has been it's pretty much been banned
when it comes to
tickets and events because you'll have
an event and then you'll have so many
people that want to go to that event
and there's only limited number of
tickets and so people
who know that people really want to go
to that event they'll buy up the tickets
and then resell them and make
money this was traditionally where
scalping sort of
really came into play with people
wanting to profit from it
and so now it's affecting the tech scene
and it's affecting the tech scene big
time
you're going to have scalpers and this
is going to go on for years because
of the supply shortages and because of
the world the way it is people are
staying home more than ever and when
they're staying home more than ever
they're going to be gaming more than
ever
so when you i guess you're essentially
now dangling
these amazing products and look these
products are good and i'm sure the ps5
and the xbox series x they're going to
be amazing just like
the rtx 3000 series and so when you
dangle these products in front of people
they're going to want to get them
they're going to want to get their hands
on one
and so going forward with the video i
think they're going to have to be put on
notice and say hey
we need more supply before we actually
announce these products and release them
but at the same time i know why they
want to get their product out first they
want to be
the one with all the eyeballs on them
and same with the playstation 5 right
that pre-order came out of nowhere they
want to beat
xbox series x to the chase so they want
to get their product out there first
they want to build the most hype but the
problem is you're now creating a lot of
frustrated people
who want to get their hands on it and
they can't so there has to be a balance
there has to be a better system for
people
buying these cards even the raffle
system i agree with that
and there also has to be more supply
before you actually release these cards
now in terms of the rtx 3000 i heard
that these cards
are going to be much more in stock
towards the end of october
and so at least in australia now when it
comes to the us i guess they'll get
shipments beforehand so i'd say
mid-october
you guys could probably expect some more
cars to come in play but you've also got
the rtx 3070 coming out so
i'm guessing around that time frame
you're going to have both those cards
hit with a bit more stock and of course
there's the rtx 3090 which
i can only imagine if that has the
demand that the 3080 has
then you're probably gonna see these
things go on for two and a half thousand
usd or four thousand aussie dollars i
think when people laughed about those
prices
part of me was like no i think that's a
possible scenario
so to break it all down for you guys the
hype was real
the demand was real but the supply
wasn't
and that's the problem right there is
the supply and so
nvidia they have to be aware of this and
they have to say look when we launch
these cards
we have to at least do some kind of a
survey and realize hey maybe we should
hold back the launch
until there's much more supply in stock
that would make it fair for everyone
and sure if you want to create the hype
just let the reviews go up and just say
due to making things fair we're only
going to sell these a month later
i know it might seem like a crazy idea
but at least you're going to have
a lot less frustrated people out there
and this goes for the series x
and also the playstation 5 they're going
to suffer the exact same problems
where they're going to have supply
shortages too and so i feel like
in 2020 now with all these amazing like
gaming product and as i said before the
hype is real it's justified
the rtx 3000 like i was gaming on that
on oled 120 hertz
it is something you want in your life
and i'm not going to
lie about that i'm not going to beat
around the bush to try and downplay this
card
it is freaking amazing in every sense in
the world
like you're going to see me already seen
me in my founders reviewer yesterday i
recorded that after no sleep
and i was still excited in that review
today's review of the tough gaming when
i look at that
it's going to be even better because
that card is like in my opinion is
better than the founders
so you've got these amazing cards coming
out and they're good
and kudos to the companies for making
really good
leaps and bounds for gamers in 2020 but
now there's this new problem out there
and it has to be addressed and i guess
you have to think of a new solution
things are ever changing right in this
whole world
things always are changing and you've
just got to adapt survive and thrive
and so i mean well nvidia's already
thriving but i feel like they've got to
adapt
and just let the gamers that they're
targeting thrive as well
because at the moment man i don't think
the gamers are surviving out there
they're like damn i want to get my hands
on one of these cards
and i can't get my hands on one of these
cards what do i do
and the only solution right now is to
simply wait and this is the problem
you've got guys like me
i'm telling you how good these cards are
and you want to get your hands on one
and you're just frustrated because you
can't and so that frustration is
is not good it's not a good thing anyhow
guys that's all from me today
if you enjoyed this one then you know
what to do but with that aside we've got
the question of the day here which comes
from
mitchell sobol and they asked is there
an lg oled monitor
that can do this yet or is it only the
tvs and yeah unfortunately it is only
the tvs right now
that are giving out the oled gaming
experience and i've been harping on in
my monitor reviews
for years now that i want to see oled
gaming monitors and no one's doing it
but lg's doing those oled tvs and
trust me this is what your eyes need
basically i keep hopping on about i'm
like a broken record here on the channel
they put these cheap blue leds in the
back of your monitors
and they sell it as gaming products and
your eyes do not see detail
through blue period they see it through
green and they see it through red
and so oled emits light through these
green and red spectrums
and it's good for your eyes it's much
better than
uh cheap blue led white leds
because they've got a yellow phosphorus
layer on them that are going in the back
of gaming monitors
and it's funny because even the older
ccfl backlighting technology when lcds
first came out
is better for your eyes than these leds
are
so that was my biggest gripe with it the
fact that lg are offering these oleds in
a form of a tv
i just want my eyes to feel comfortable
again with gaming
so and if you don't believe me look if
you don't believe me
what i'm saying you can go out to uh a
depot store go buy a little uh blue
light a low
blue light for when you go to sleep and
just try and read a book with that low
blue light on
as opposed to say a little green light
or a red light and if you do
if you use the blue light you'll
suddenly realize that your vision is
diminishing the quality of your vision
will diminish very quickly
but basically don't do that i've been
there done that it's an experiment that
is just i don't want to go back there
again it was horrible anyhow i'll catch
you guys
in another tech video very soon peace
out for now
bye
