False. It started happening during the crypto boom.

Probably had a contractual obligation to sell X amount at MSRP.

I wonder if this is related to Tariffs from both sides. I find it interesting, to be honest for an increase across all companies.
This is not greed from an AIB when all decides to go that extreme.
As an AIB, I think they are mandated to sell at least one SKU for MSRP price, if the MSRP of these cards has increased, does that mean the FE will get a price increase as well under the excuse ( or legitimate excuse ) the tariffs?

So happy I decided to stick with my 4090, this is bullshit.

Yup, the 4080 I got on sale a few years ago feels like a better deal by the day.

Debauer and bytski are looking to produce blocks for the FE.
But still going to be a pain due to the split design and the liquid metal. Need to go under a microscope to ensure you haven't dislodged any on the board.

Original 10xx crypto boom was in middle of the gen.
For 10xx and 20xx cards, I was just able to go to a store randomly on release and pick what wanted for expected price. Releases were unaffected

It was already a tall order asking customers to break down the basic FE boards and coolers to apply a water block. Now with this riser and offset board, I just don't know man. It's whack. I don't trust it.

Remember the PC brigade saying Sony are being greedy charging $699 for PS5 Pro???
$140 more for 5080
$380 more for 5090
I love it when Nvidia rapes their arses on a regular basis and they love it.

Heh, it doesn't even lower the prices for the 30 series cards.

If you only want the best money can buy, then yeah, PC gaming is unaffordable for most people.
However, if you're willing to compromise then you can get a lower spec build that still plays the latest games for far less.
Not only AMD either. The recent Intel B580 is a decent card and has great reviews. You're not going to be gaming in 8K at 120FPS on it, but on the other hand it does cost under £300.
I want to build a PC this year, but most of the games I want to play won't need a 5090. It'd be overkill, so I'm seriously considering the B580 or maybe something from AMD.
