Who cares if it was $10,000 USD?

If it's the best you can buy, who cares? Why do you care about what people spend their money on?

Holy molly ! Asus selling 5090 for 5k usd on their webshop...

Yeah, like I was saying we can be mad at Nvidia about MSRP but the AIB are the ones living la vida loca on pricing.....

It's all of them being crazy greedy... nvidia ARE crazy greedy, but then you have aibs being even more so (during crypto boom aibs sold all stock directly to massive mining farms...), and then to top it off you have shops selling all stock to scalpers prior to launch...

Honestly, i reckon that as long as "graphics cards" are universal purpose accelerator cards, then this situation will just become worse. We need purpose built gaming graphics cards, that only gamers are going to buy - if the situation is to ever become normal again for gamers. The current trend will end up killing pc gaming if it continues.

This is the retail price in Norway for the RTX 5090 and 5080. This is in Norwegian kroner. So basically, almost $2900, and $1800.

Yeah, a lot of people are complaining about the prices, including myself. The solution? Don't buy one. Vote with your wallet and don't show NVidia the love on this gen of cards.
(yes I know, I'm late to the party here)

Well played nVidia... well played!
You have exceeded my expectations. Even AIBs are into the game hard.

The masters of price inflation... oh yeah... and gaming hardware :laugh:

Never going to happen in general.
People are buying at x2 of MSRPs like their life is dependent upon them...
Sad, hilarious... take your pick
A little bit of both maybe

Those are people who know what they want and are willing to pay the price. Some of them are less than smart, but for many it's pocket change.

True, there are many pc enthusiasts for whom 5k on a gpu is pocket change - but for the vast majority of people it aint. And this trend will end up killing pc gaming if it is allowed to continue to spiral out of control.

I mean as long as there are people that camping outside of microcenter or go online to buy at whatever price with their "pocket change" there is not going to be any solution.
People with too much money (not all of them apparently) are playing the inflation game and always will be...
