Most graphics cards still priced way above MSRP, led by Nvidia's RTX 5080 and 5090
I'll confess, I'm part of the problem. I bought a 9070XT above MSRP.
Well, what else are we supposed to do? Our hands are tied. I live in the Seattle metro and for some insane reason we don't have a single retail option for graphics cards. I wasn't able to get one off Newegg on launch day before they were all gone to bots, so my only option was eBay.
I hate enabling scalpers but it was either that or risk paying 47's stupid fucking tariffs. I had a narrow window to skip the tariffs upcharge and I took it. I would rather pay the extra $200 to an asshole scalper than to the federal government so they can spend it on their gestapo.
Oh I didn't buy from a scalper. Well, not a third party scalper, to preempt the comments saying retail is scalping as well.
I just got myself second hand xtx for about 650 euro
I also got a 9070 XT recently, but at MSRP. I’m done supporting NVidia.
Yeah that's why I switched too. AMD is not perfect either but, lesser of two evils it felt like.
Same. Hoping to not want or need a new gpu for at least 5 years, only reason i bought is because my 2080 TI was starting to go and i was not paying tariffs on top of already inflated GPU prices
