Microsoft Flight Simulator

Microsoft Flight Simulator
A title that doesn’t just require you to have some beefy hardware to maximise the visuals, but also a fairly empty hard drive to squeeze on one of the largest install sizes on the market, the newest instalment in the famous Flight Simulator series is gorgeous. Without any combat you’ve plenty of time with which to appreciate the satellite based ground imagery as well as the hand-crafted airports. With all the detail settings maximised it’s a stern test of your system.

I don't necessarily like drama and seeing a company get hammered, but that was a much deserved scathing review. Ampere started out pretty well, but it's ending with an even bigger whimper than Turing. I hope AMD and Intel can pull Nvidia back from the mire they seem to lavish drowning in.Quote

This was the same everywhere. Also stores publicly showing how many cards they ordered for stock vs how many were actually being delivered. I get that its due to silicon shortage, but still it was a terribly managed launch. i think the world was fooled into thinking that they could easily obtain the card they wanted.
Price was also astronomical.
That said
I'm glad TTL has given it a scathing review. Much like Hardware unboxed don't hold back. These should be honest, unfiltered and as it should be, to steer consumers away from bad products.
I'm tired of seeing reviews give a negative result on a product (as it deserves) but are so nervous, holding back what they want to say in fear of the product manufacterer that it doesnt tell consumers the true result. How many times have we seen a negative review but in the conclusion "well, its overpriced but a nice little performer..." << for the weak willpowered consumer, this is all they want to see to tip them over the balance into spending on a bad product. They want reassurance on the bad decision they are about to make. And carebear reviews trigger this.
How about being honest and literally state "do not buy such an overpriced that yields no benefits, stick to the model that was released 2 months ago." I think reviewers are still partly to blame for companies charging what they want because they fear future products to review being withheld.
This is why im thankful TTL tells it as it is.Quote
Don’t forget about JayzTwoCents also gave a salty review, basically didn’t want to make an review on it all due to being so tired of it all. Seeing as we all know how it would perform and Nvidia tactics these days.Quote

The moment reviewers call a product a bad priced decent performer, consumers use this to justify spending too much and re enforce companies like Nvidia that they can continue to charge such prices, and even push the limit and raise them.
As far as chips go for AIB, Nvidia do not give the AIB manufacturers much "wiggle" room on profits so alot of it carries over in a cost plus style pricing. And even then AIBs will push their luck. Just look at these MSI prices right now.Quote
