Behind the scenes - one subject that's emerged repeatedly amongst Tom, Dan, and the sources we speak with over the past week has been that there seems to be a disconnect between how many large Hardware Reviewers portray products, and the reality of what PC Gamers actually want lately.

Some examples are as follows:
- The RTX 4070 SUPER gets positive reviews...and nobody buys it...
- Some reviewers claimed the "7900 XTX kinda made the 4080 look good", and yet the 7900 XTX...
