IVIYTH0S Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 HardOCP does a great job of going into the official and technical reasons of how Nvidia has hid some of their card's price from listings but I know I'm not the only who can't stand this practice. So I thought I'd start a poll and discussion on how you all feel on this. I wonder if there is anyway to have Nvidia revoke this ridiculous policy from the major e-tailers (Yes I know this has been going on for a while but it has angered me again to the point of doing all this lol) Anyway, HardOCP's Article: http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/article/2008/06/15/nvidia_dictates_advertised_video_card_pricing Example listing: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007709%20600094002%20600107147&IsNodeId=1&bop=And&Order=PRICE&PageSize=100 Combo deal that put me over the edge: http://go.redirectingat.com/?id=3031X597717&site=overclockersclub.com&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.newegg.com%2FProduct%2FComboBundleDetails.aspx%3FItemList%3DCombo.638454&sref=http%3A%2F%2Fforums.overclockersclub.com%2Findex.php%3Fshowtopic%3D185575%26pid%3D1931381%26st%3D0%26%23entry1931381 Specifically- 1x GIGABYTE GV-N560OC-1GI GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card (Model:GV-N560OC-1GI) Too low to show Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IVIYTH0S Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 i dont see a problem with it at just click on see price in cart grant its cheesy advertising Yeah but what about comparing multiple, price hidden, cards in the list view. Can't do that (unless you add them ALL to cart... which wow I can't believe I didn't think of that! lol) Still I shouldn't HAVE to do that, as this is just a ludicrous thing to do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
