Your the type of buyer they see coming.

I'm flat out refusing to buy another card, it's laughable they want $200 for a card that only does physics.


Lol I remember hearing the same thing when people were saying that they would never pay $600 for a card that only does video. lol 😉
well i remember people going they would never pay more than $200 on Video card and now we are paying so much more and we are going in 2 graphic card. Whats next >... Graphic card becoming like ram/HDD. You must have atleast... blahblah ;( . Physic card will start out $200 and then reach up to $600 just like everything. I can see the future motherboards : 4 PCI express 16x , 8 ram slot , 8 sata port , 2x new physic slots , mirco core CPU slot , >> blah blah

 
what interests ,e is if they can get it used for stuff outside gaming..which many of the articles suggested was possible...
