Meh; I'm happy with my 4090. Got lucky enough to score one on a discount on launch day. It's going to last me well into the 2030s.
I tried getting a 5080 yesterday, obv missed out.
Then i tried to get either a 4080 super or a 4090, which seemingly everyone else did too as they all sold out.
My 3070 isn't cutting it anymore for me, i might just get a 7900 xtx or something as those are still available.
I believe nvidia said there will be low 5090 stock for 2 weeks. Can't explain the other cards tho.
Scalpers i guess.
I'm happy with my RX 6800 that I bought at scalper prices because I wanted to build a hackintosh 🙃 I hope it serves me well for another 5-10 years.
