Demand shot up for some reason. I've no clue. My best guess a lot of people were waiting, saw juice isn't worth the squeeze and just like that the entire remaining stock of Ada evaporated

I mean people just need to be patient, an overclocked 5080 is better than spending 2000+ on a 4090 and eventually the 5090 won't be difficult to get although I think it will settle around 2500-2800 not it's 2000 msrp.

Gamers need to get use to the fact that the flagship/halo card is no longer targeted at gamers and can be used for making money it's just a shame the 5080 is cut down more than even the typical 70 class card historically.

Depends how far back you want me to go lol. These are mostly my main ones that I had for awhile.

Intel Pentium 4 2.8ghz/FX 5200
AMD Athlon 64 3000/FX 5500/ATI X300
Intel Core 2 Duo/Nvidia 9800Gx2
AMD Phenom II X6/GTX 460SE, GTX 580SLI, HD 6990 X2

Intel i7 8700K/R9 290X X3, GTX Titan X Pascal
i7 10700K/ GTX Titan X Pascal

No, I will probably pick up a used RX 7900XT or XTX once the RX 9700 XT comes out as pricing should crash down.

Well, the us always gets priority (one of many reasons that makes the us hard to like these days as a dane). There was far from enough stock in denmark - most people were waiting months on 4090's.

Ummmm excuse me? If I remember correctly, you purchased 6 of them. You alone caused the shortage for the Danes. Don't blame the U.S. :p:p:)

I did so in janurary though, so several months after launch - got my hands on the first card 1 month after launch, the screaming strix card - that was despite ordering on day one :)

I camped out Tustin's MC, and just managed to get a card. Zotac SOLID OC, overclocked it last night +275 to the core, +1000 to memory. Might push memory more, but for now it's stable after a bunch of testing. Excited to run Monster Hunter at 4k/120 in a few weeks!

I'm looking forward to hearing your good news :D.

I'm so busy for the next 3 weeks due to lunar new year travelling, hopefully I have some time to play with the 5090 once it arrives

The toilet paper fiasco during the pandemic along with the RTX 3000 series scalping taught more retards(and I'm sure quite a few retailers as well) how to scalp. Post-RTX 3000 series, its become the norm. Granted, its not "as bad" compared to the $4k-$6k+ 3090's were going for at one time, but these 5000 series cards are still way overpriced. Fortunately, I'm good to go with my 3090 & A6000 until the RTX 6000 or maybe even the 7000 series.
I wonder if things are going to pan out with Kingpin & PNY. I haven't heard anything since a while back when he was planning on joining PNY & possibly producing Kingpin cards again.
