Good luck trying to get a high-end GPU in Australia

I just checked around some of the main retailers in OZ and not only are there no 50 series stocks, but there are also no 4080 series, 7900XTX, 4070Ti series and 4070 series stock. What the hell is going on? I get end of life products but that's always been a gradual process and not one that comes into effect immediately upon a new generation launching.

AI, Chinese New Year?

Even 7900 xtx sold out in USA for awhile recently. Demand is heavy due to local LLM AI models being able to run perfectly fine on all the cards you just mentioned. It's basically similar to the crypto shortage several years ago, this its AI. My buddy irl still thinks he will get a 5090 in Europe in the next few months... I don't have the heart to tell him he probably won't get one until 2026, maybe even 2027, the way AI is moving product.

In Australia? More like, anywhere in the world. Either you don't find stock, or the one you find is overpriced

No, I don't think that a card being 20, 30, 40, 50% more expensive than when it launched counts as "in stock"

I found 5 series GPUs in Australia when I looked, pity they were in pre built systems only.
