    I think mainly better ray tracing for those that want it.

    People buy new cards because their games require something better to run smoothly. Some people still use 1660ti’s and I’m sure are happy to upgrade their hardware.

      I mean sure, but people on very old cards are finite.

      I’m asking what makes a 9000 series a more attractive buy than a 7000?

      On rereading the headline, it does not say much either, demand for GPUs manufactured by me in my garage is also outpacing supply.

        Ask the people that held off on the 7000 series I guess. People don’t buy on the same upgrade frequency as others. We’re all at different phases of our hardware refresh cycles.

        In fact demand for GPUs manufactured by you in your garage has just gone from outpacing supply by another 100% because i too would be interested in your personally made microchips. They must be very small batch and artisanal!
