Videocard TV Ads ?

Why? Because the people who buy PC hardware typically don't watch TV. Because the cost of running an ad for a new graphics card on a network is much larger than the return they would see from the few people who would buy it, based on the ad.

Because most people who want to buy a GPU are gamers, who will probably be one the internet. That was a pretty funny add though, I wish more tech companies would do things like that.

Defo this. The "user base" for the ads just isn't there, and they would come in at a loss.

i believe that they know that we would rather see our trusted Youtubers benchmark PC parts and give us their review of it rather than just see an ad that usually lies about a product.
