They should round up all the sneaker scalpers and force them in a chain gang to build chip fab factories.
I do too, don't worry.

Why would anyone want one of those? Its almost the same card as 3080 but $500 more msrp.
I mean good, maybe the availability of regular 3080s will be better because all the morons want that ti logo.

not mine but each best buy got ~40-50, some people apparently sold their spot in line for $500. the card is selling for ~$2500 on ebay and $2000-2200 on stockX, so basically a $1000-1200 markup over msrp lol
pretty ridiculous for a card that is 8-10% faster than a 3080 but pc gamers eh
you can see the AIB prices up on newegg shuffle
www.newegg.com
cheaper than what the rumors said i think, and weirdly newegg isn't doing shit-ass bundles.

I can smell that line from here.theres 30-60 3080ti cards per BBY store, 1 per customer so first 20-30 have a pretty good shot. I wonder what the resell rate is gonna be, like 30% or closer to 90%

Isnt that pretty much every GPU and even most of the CPU reviews in the past 6 months or so?

8-10% faster is a stretch too, since most of the gains are in 4K, normal 1440 and 1080 is more like 6% if that. Youre basically spending something like $100 for every percentage point gained over a normal 3080 at MSRP, god help those that spend the $2.5k on one lol.not mine but each best buy got ~40-50, some people apparently sold their spot in line for $500. the card is selling for ~$2500 on ebay and $2000-2200 on stockX, so basically a $1000-1200 markup over msrp lol

Basically anyone that spends $2-$2.5KK on this card is a fucking fool.

Not that I need one, but I just want to know why prebuilds are so easy to get and individual cards aren't. They're obviously prioritizing large bulk orders at a time when individual retail buyers can't find any to buy. Presumably they're giving out bulk discounts to Dell etc when they could make a lot more at retail.
The only legitimate reason I can think of is that EVGA, Asus, Gigabyte etc would much rather give a discount in a B2B transactions than have to support retail consumers directly, knowing they're more expensive to service long term than a pre-build company. Of course I don't know that either, but it seems like a safe assumption considering that the Verge video on building a PC wasn't so much an instruction video as an expose of how badly some people are at building PCs correctly.

Meh, pre-builds go just as fast as the cards themselves. Other than the real shitty ones, and even those go as well eventually. The big manufacturers have deals with the card makers. There is plenty of cards going out to retail too, but most just turn around and scalp themselves or are bought out by scalpers in seconds for the big box stores that actually do sell them.

CPUs aren't bad now. 5600X and 5800X are readily available, hell the 5800X is even below MSRP on Amazon. 5900X can be had if you're patient or willing to pay an extra hundred-ish over MSRP.

That's why I recommend customs, you can get almost exactly what you want in like a month. And the price increase is minimal, it's worth it just for avoiding the time and stress of scrambling around trying to find things instock. I could give a shit about 'deals,' just give me my shit that I want so I barely even have to mess with it, because I don't have the time or desire to fuck with shit anymore. People are trying to get instant gratification, and then aren't happy with it or change half of it anyway, meanwhile they could have a solid system by now if they just ordered what they wanted a month ago.
