Correct, there would be no reason for them to purposefully overspec their parts.

So then why wouldn’t I expect a discount on this v2 card?

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Because you're paying for the card as a whole, not discrete components.

No, you're not purchasing discrete components for use as discrete components.

If im not buying the cumulation of parts I don’t know what im buying.

You don't understand how the overall system as a whole differs from the discrete components in isolation?

[–] wholookshere@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 months ago

No…

You can’t buy a card without also buying all the individual composts though.

Except I’m buying a card with objectively worse materials.
