Chaos Theory: Drop EPOS and Nvidia push questionable products: AMD stumbles post record

I recorded this particular video on November 2nd, so two days ago from upload point.

It started as a response to post to Drop over the aggressively lackluster specifications of the EPOS GSX 1000 v2 sound card, which somehow only supports 16bit/48kHz audio... for $200. My ire kicked into high gear when a poster defended the aggressively poor sound quality with an understanding of human hearing that at best could be described as Failing Human Anatomy 001 and Failing Statistics 001.

The subject of Overpriced, underspecced, questionable products then segued into an RTX 4080 appearing with a $1200(US) price tag, and the 4090 to sell for even higher than that. At the time I intended to flag AMD and Intel for doing a better job than Nvidia at targeting realistic price points for their graphics cards...

As well as bring attention to the likes of Kari Lake and Blake Masters the apparent intention of Nvidia to sell 4x00 series cards to the US Government in order to back up the US Dollar with a Digital Currency.

Yes, this is the same strategy Nvidia employed with both Russia and China... and we know how well that went for their power grids.

While I waited for the ideology uploads to clear though, AMD went and put their own foot into it, announcing the 7900 XTX for a whopping $1000(US) and the "BASE" 7900 XT for $899(US). I intend to record a quasi-response on the subject of AMD's pricepoints while this is video is uploading.
