Also 5080s. The entire 5000 series is fucked.

My 1080 Ti is a couple months from being 8 years old and is on it's last legs. I was really hoping to go pretty wild and do a whole high end system but this shit is just sad.

What I'm always going to say to this is it doesn't matter, retards are still gonna buy them. There is NO competition
The only thing that can throw a wrench into things for them is that AAA games continue to blow ass. So, it's possible to stick with cards a generation or three old.

At one point I was doubting myself wondering if I should have waited for the 5xxx series to purchase my Starforge prebuilt but glad I didn’t. I’m very content with my 4090 especially with the shortage, issues and price gouging on the 5xxx series graphic cards. My friend is trying to get one from them after seeing my rig but he’s on a waiting list and no telling when they will have some in stock.

Either Nvidia's Quality Control is reprehensibly bad or they knowingly sent out under-spec units because supply was so low.

Now we just need AMD to shit their bed with a card that's "Extremely Shitty at Ray Tracing... but $50 cheaper than the GeForce raster equivalent!" to salt the earth for this entire gen.

(To reiterate, we're rapidly approaching War Games logic - the only way to win is not to play, and intentionally design with lower poly art styles that anything can run.)

I cant see how they wouldn't know. They just didn't care. That video says they claim .5% of cards. Consumers dont care, they will keep demand high and just roll the dice and hope they dont get a problem card. Even if it was something higher like 15% of cards, consumers wouldn't care and still buy. You could try to class action, but they made how much last year, no amount, that has a good chance of winning, will bother them.

there's still Intel gpus

If AMD shits the bed this upcoming launch, I'm going team blue when I'm ready to yeet my potato.

Market cap for Nvidia is $3.10 trillion. There is NO EXCUSE at all. They knew. They don't care. The consumer gpu market is peanuts.

Intel GPUs haven't been stocked since the launch. They simply don't exist either.
Really? I figured they'd keep producing the battlemage or whatever it was.

Edit: looking around my local stores and no one has a b580, yeah that's weird i would have figured that they'd keep producing it.

Businesses is walking a tightrope and all that.

Increasing production in preparation for an NVidia fuckup takes a lot of logistical changes. Intel may have kept their production numbers the same, never expecting a veteran company in the industry to fuck up so bad, when, according this thread (I think), that last release showed an improvement in distribution/supply.
