NVIDIA RTX 3080 Release Availability Could be a Novel

[xorbe]

A while back I joined another non-PC hobby that has periodic releases. And it too was ruined by scalpers with bots that buy up all supply immediately, and appear on eBay at massively inflated prices. Already had to leave that hobby. The only solution is to not buy if you can't get it direct from the source. Then theoretically the scalpers will leave if there are no customers.

I wonder if AMD will suffer the same fate with Big Navi.

Evet the most honest youtuber(who is doing youtubing for money) won't risk and stand and say the truth if it is Nvidia. Because of Nvidia itself and its fanatic radical fanboys.

You remember what to happened to Kyle Bennett when he exposed the GPP program? Not many sites had that in their news.
Gamernexus, Hardware Canucks and all other sites that didn't even mention it.

Gamers Nexus made a video on GPP.
Here it is:

The video was made after GPP was canceled by nvidia. I only watched 2 minutes of it but in those 2 minues, nvidia is getting lightly roasted.

It's not criminal or a scam, it's quite clear in the listing what they are selling.

It's morally criminal because they are targeting the ignorant.

No, it's not an actual crime. But it is morally degenerate if you prefer that term.

You could argue the ignorant need to learn to read, but that'll never happen, and these do tend to be people scammed trying to buy products they don't understand for their kids they love. These are people literally profiteering off tech illiteracy without helping at all and thinking they are clever.

Hated it...

I personally was not planning to upgrade, but out of curiosity I checked my local retailer. Two stores in my city each had one card each of two models from Gigabyte, all the others were not in stock. So two lucky people showing up first at each location would get one at retail price. There are other computer stores in the city, of course, but I couldn't think of any with a better chance to at least have one.

I've honestly never had trouble acquiring hardware at a normal price.

Its the same on every market, if you're in a hurry, you pay too much.

I wonder if AMD will suffer the same fate with Big Navi.

Only if the demand is there.

 

[ExcuseMeWtf]

I wonder if AMD will suffer the same fate with Big Navi.

Suffer

As if it wasn't preplanned by nVidia.

AMD will almost certainly try to do the same.
