    Idk man, as someone who waited for the 5000 series and then didn’t buy them (went with an older model), these articles make me pretty happy. Ngl

      Pulled the trigger on a 4070TI SUPER at MSRP a year ago, thankful I passed on this bullshit instead of waiting for it

    Let’s face it, Nvidia doesn’t care if you buy a gaming card or not right now. You can complain, but they can’t hear you over their money counting machines.

    Nvidia is only selling enough gaming cards to keep their market share from falling too low. All the rest of their silicon is allocated towards data center.

      Enough stock to still be in the consumer market but just restrictive enough to encourage predatory pricing. Yay!

    It’s even worse for Europe. Prices start at €800 (~$866), making any talk about ‘MSRP-to-performance-ratio’ absolutely pointless.

    Even the 9070XT was launched recently and after 30ish minutes, minimum prices went from €695 to €924 (~$1,001) in my country.

    Fuck the GPU market.
