You’re paying for the overall performance of the product, not for specs of each discrete component by itself.

Yes, you also pay for whatever they decide is relevant to marketing.

How is buying hardware based on specs not doing both?

To that end, that’s like saying apple doesn’t need to offer higher base specs on things like ssds and internal storage because the performance is the same.

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?
