Then buy a lesser card. It’s up to you4090s are going for above MSRP, even when used.

MSI was the first to increase charges during the 3000 series shortage.
Besides their GPUs and mobos, everything else they sell is garbage so I guess they gotta do make money somewhere.

Cause everyone knows it's going to be half a year or more before 5090's last more than 5 seconds in stock (if ever), and even then they recognize the real MSRP is like $2500+. So anyone looking for a high end GPU will either pay $4500 - $5000 for a scalped 5090 (which will still be going for well over $3000 many months from now), or they'll buy a used 4090.4090s are going for above MSRP, even when used.

Not really that easy. Folks looking for mid-grade or above cards right now are in a tight spot. Even 4070 Super's are getting marked up.

No return policy to the store (manufacturer warranty only) would do it too. No scalper wants to carry that much inventory, especially when they know the supply will catch up at some point. Low/no friction return policies are what fuels this, they literally have a month to front the money and try to extort people, worst case they just give it back.

Glad I bought a 4070 Super last year. I checked yesterday and it's like 100 euro more expensive today and only a few stores have it. Seems like Nvidia just completely stopped producing any 40 series card months ago and barely produced any 50 series. With AMD also postponing releases and completely abandoning the high end the whole GPU market is beyond messed up again.

Yea, the 5070 will be barely better than the 4070 super based on the specs we’ve seen. That is if it’s even better at all.

The blame is always, ALWAYS on the consumer.
If people had the minimum fundamental amount of restraint and intelligence, this kind of speculation would be a non-starter.
Luckily for them, the customers are all idiots.

It doesn't happen every time. This is way worse. It happens a little each time yes, but they keep stretching it more and more. The base price is supposed to be 2k which is a full fucking 400 more than the base price of the last card and it is barely that much more performant. But the AIBs are jacking prices up by several hundred more on top of that. It is garbage.

Any of the NV cards with GDDR6X are long out of production.

While this is valid. Majority of the people are not rich. I don’t have numbers but in general, what are the percentage of rich people buying a personal gpu in this space ? 10% of the whole market ? 20%? 30% ? If that’s what Nvidia counts on only, they are doomed.
It’s not them that are buying these GPUs. They are mostly companies and AI driven companies.
I have a friend who works in AV and conferences sector in the city. They buy cards every generation or 2 just for video processing and editing including DaVinci etc.
The 5090 in china is being sold for 9k over there. You think the majority of buyers are rich people ? Cmon now

Well, I hope this teaches Nvidia a lesson. They are clearly underpricing their cards.

Price generation, the new hidden exclusive feature of 50 series. So slimey, gooey, shitty, up the prices because, "if they(scalpels/retailers) can so shall we". But I don't blame the profiteers, they seem even a bit naive or whatever, they could literally put 5090 at $4000+ normal price, msrp, and 5080 at $2000+ and sell without problem, normal price, people are still sleeping in tents for fuck sake, it sells, it goes, why lower prices?
These prices are a social problem, not just companies being greedy or whatever the fuck. As long as people are paying without question, the prices will be absurd, and why not?

Controversial opinion:
I think this should happen more often, as its the only way to prevent scalping. Because scalping isn't the issue. The issue is always supply.
It might piss you off, but a price is a mechanism that helps to keep a product in stock. If you can't keep it in stock at 1999 and people buy it and succeed to resell it at 3000, than 3000 is the real price.
The real price can only go down when there is more supply than demand. The real issue is companies pretending a 5090 is worth 1999 when there are 5 available.
Blame Nvidia

I agree this should happen even more often but only to scam people even harder.
If you are willing to pay that much money for a GPU it means you have no sense of the value of money and you deserve to get scammed as much as possible every time.

Prices will go down once production starts flooding the market.
but has the 5090 been even restocked anywhere? all i've seen is 5080 and i haven't been looking the whole time but keeping an eye on it.
$140 more for 5080
$380 more for 5090

Where are you seeing 5080s though? Only place I saw was at Newegg with an absolutely stupid bundle.
Also, I am curious, did the price get jacked for the Euro bros? Because the tariff hike is only on Chinese products to US.

It doesn’t use to happen. Only since 3080/90 Covid release
mainly the newegg bundles sadly but definitely no 5090 not even in bundles. shame cause i was pretty thirsty the other night and probably would have pulled the trigger on a 5090 bundle and try and sell whatever i had to get extra.

They didn't win either. Last gen and prior sure. This 50 series FE, at least the 5090, is a cluster fuck that I would never consider buying. Will not retain the value like past FE cards did. Good luck water blocking that thing.
