This whole 'buy things online' thing is kind of new, let them work out the bugs first bro.

Quarter century later, and they still can't do it lol.

MSRPs are completely meaningless at this point.
They are when Nvidia does a paper launch. Fuck those greedy assholes. Is there a corporation with more aggressively worse practices? They are deliberately trying to recreate mining/COVID shortages market. This is a deliberate anti-customer/consumer tactic. I was considering buying a 5080 this time but truly Fuck these guys. They are now on my Intel "don't ever fucking buy again" list. It took Intel a decade of mismanagement to fall off their perch, though; Jensen may be an asshole but he isn't stupid.

They absolutely don't care about consumer gpus right now, they're just trying to stay relevant. They are making insane money in the data center world right now

Well, there's one I can definitely think of. Two if you count Comcast. Honestly, on the scale of terrible companies, Nvidia doesn't even register.
