Die Shrink 66: What makes a Graphics Card a REAL product?
Added 2022-02-11 18:01:03 +0000 UTCThis episode debates what volume and availability is adequate for the community to consider it a "real" product, or at the very least - fair to compare to other abundantly available products.
Is it fair to launch 10 cards at $200 and pretend that's "real"?! What about 100? Do we need to change the way we review graphics cards? Should we just get rid of MSRP?
We discuss all of the above points...and more...

Thanks Tom & Dan for addressing my input! Just want to clarify that by "a bunch of reviewers" I mean at least a dozen of the most popular ones, YouTube and written media combined and I also said it should be made available in some quantity with popular retailers around the world. That would definitely make it a real product, though not necessarily good value due to scarcity but your question was specifically about whether a product is real or not, and not about it's value. Cheers! 🍻
