Nice paper launch and how will Nvidia be working their 5080 upsell edition strategy with nothing to upsell with.
Artificial scarcity.
It depends, I’m not sure if it’s a binning thing and they can’t make enough perfect chips for the 3090. Or it might just be limited memory, they’re using all the gddr7 that’s being made and that’s with many different suppliers.
That’s still $10k worth of graphics cards. How many of these do they expect to sell at that price?
Crypto is over but AI is still in… If I was not an anti consumption nazi and didn’t hate nvidia…
I would buy it tbh. I am a middle aged cuck but surprisingly, we are millions
A lot.
If you go on eBay there are dozens of listings for pictures of 5090s for the MSRP with the description “humans don’t buy”. I love it ✊
Pretty funny, hopefully no humans get caught up in it, though. It’s the kind of thing a serious stupid person could call the cops on.
I’ve been trying to get a 5090, refreshed eight stores for a while. I saw one 5090, that you could purchase, 3200€, gone instantly. It’s now the “topseller”.
Two shops list the different 5090 models, none available of course, two others had 5080s for a while, before removing the listings again, although they supposedly weren’t sold out.
Literally not a paper launch.
And very typical with every new Nvidia generation.
What else would anyone expect?does microcenter have any competition at this point?
You mean stores that exist where microcenter doesn’t? Or what?
Best Buy is gigantic by comparison.
We might not like it, but I bet they had several times more stock.
I mean. I feel like best buy is not a competitor. I mean things like frys. Places you could get motherboards and such.
Fry’s Electronics is no longer a thing. Microcenter is all that’s left to my knowledge.
There are some small regional places
