Good. Normally I scoff at people saying "wait to see what's releasing", but Nvidia's been such a shit the last 3 years that I'm glad to see them holding the bag while people wait for mid-range options and RDNA3.

I looked at my "local" microcenter out of curiosity. The have like 37 4080s in stock and that's just one variation. I think they finally priced themselves out this time.

Damn, I just checked and mine does too. Granted mostly Zotac which is a garbage brand but still. Normally I'd go get one if they were that easy to get but at these prices, nah. Only a couple hundred bucks more gets a 4090 (those are not in stock though or else I definitely would get one)

Yeah both Microcenters near me have a ton of 4080s. They'll just be sitting there for a while. There's a third Microcenter about 50 miles from me which is kinda weird since there are a lot of states with zero or just one Microcenter

Yeah I almost got a zotac brand 3090 when Amazon had a sale. Luckily I looked into them and decided against it. I'm getting the 7900 XTX this gen as long as it tests decently. It's time to give AMD another chance.

The 4090 is for sure overpriced, but it's a vastly better price to performance card than the 4080.

I have basically the laptop equivalent of an RTX 3070 and with DLSS I can barely hit 60fps at 1080p. Probably doubtful.

Does not surprise me at all. They really dropped the ball with the 4080. Hopefully the 5080 turns out better.

I just bought a 3080 yesterday, and during my research I was on reddit a lot. Most people in the past year who had questions about the 3080 were told to wait until the next gen/4080 comes out instead.

I'm glad I didn't listen to them and just get the 3080 now.

I was going to get a 4070 for my PC but when I found out how much the 4080 was predicted to cost I immediately bailed and bought a 3090.

I get that a 4070 will outperform a 3070 but at a $200 difference? You must be joking.

$1200 for a card that should be $800 tops.

JFC computer hardware has gone absolutely insane over the last 10 years.

I purchased a 780 for $500 dollars brand new years ago.

Which is amazing. A friend of mine crowed up and down about how 30 series was going to wipe the floor with 20 series, and that 20 series resale value would tank exponentially because of how good 30 series' price to performance was.

Then Covid hit.

I trucked along with my 2060 until I could get a 3070 Ti (18 months) for an acceptable price (MSRP), then sold my 2060 for barely less than what I paid for it. Fucking broke it right there, mate. 40 series looks like shit so far. Better off with 30 series or RDNA 3 unless Nvidia can get their heads out of their asses long enough to realise that there's more money in mid range than high end. Still, they've sold over 120,000 4090s. At $1600 a pop, that's a nice chunk of change.

How did you not notice the damn inflation?

It's so obvious in most of our daily lives.

The most basic foods cost more.

Basic services cost more.

Gas prices spiked thanks to COVID + Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Has nothing to do with American supplies during that time period

Also maybe some European countries never stopped buying Russian crude the whole time.

Other countries supply crude oil too

Their supply levels didnt really shift

So with similar supply and negligible supply chain disruptions the only demand spikes should have been in Europe

The price surging did not reflect that globally

Similar deal with Nvidia manipulating video card supplies but in this market unlike crude oil customers can wait them out hence why they are stuck with video cards on shelves

The basic premise of gouging consumers was the same blame the price jump on boogieman scapegoat issues and hope people are stupid enough to accept it

They just got too greedyeven crude oil distributors have the decency to scale back prices after a while
