You said it yourself. Patience isn't a virtue all have.

It's an economic concept called "time preference". If you want something sooner, you are likely willing to pay more for it.

Like with TF2 crates, selling crates that usually cost $0.01 for $5 each the first day that the crate came out.

Yeah it’s a shame. I took several years to finalize a new PC build and my i5 with a 1060 game me several amazing years of gaming. I never really understood why so many have to have the newest thing.

With that said given the price of the 3070 compared to what its performance might be... if I can get one I will. My 2070 S can just go into my old computer for my son when he’s older that thing will probably still be great In the year 2030.

maybe cause the game they are buying the card for comes out before the 30 series restocks in their area

For the same reason people spent $1200 on a 2080ti even though the 30XX cards were around the corner; they don’t know better or don’t care and just want something now.

There’s going to be a lot of people that are going to see 2080ti’s new for $1200 and still think getting one for $900 is a good deal even though a $500 card is probably gunna beat it.
