How 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.

Correct, there would be no reason for them to purposefully overspec their parts.

So then why wouldn’t I expect a discount on this v2 card?

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Because you're paying for the card as a whole, not discrete components.

No, you're not purchasing discrete components for use as discrete components.

If im not buying the cumulation of parts I don’t know what im buying.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

You don't understand how the overall system as a whole differs from the discrete components in isolation?

[-] wholookshere 1 points 11 months ago

Except I’m buying a card with objectively worse materials.

[-] wholookshere 1 points 11 months ago

No…

You can’t buy a card without also buying all the individual composts though.
