True. Maybe it’s gamers that need to learn not to buy at inflated prices from scalpers. 🤔
Been thinking about upgrading my 3080 but based on some reviews 3080 was the last gpu that had best bang for the buck. No chance I am paying these ridiculous pieces for an inferior product.
Yeah, I wrote a fairly popular bot in late 2020 aimed at helping people get gpus instead of scalpers and it managed to help at least a few hundred people. I encouraged everyone to not give in to the scalpers because fuck them.
My 3070 Ti (which I got from a NewEgg lottery) died recently and I replaced it with a 4070 Super from OfferUp for $550 which is a pretty decent upgrade.
Scalpers helped nvidia push the MSRP of GPUs up dramatically. That’s what they learned.
The 3080 launched at $699 and scalpers sold it for at least twice that and people ate it up. So, nvidia launched the 4080 for $1,199
