1k 5080, 2k 5090. Are the rumors, true?

[u/Ssyynnxx → u/jbshell]

1.3k 5080 3k 5090

[u/Crockpottins → u/Ssyynnxx]

That's also a rumour, the 3k claim?

[u/GARGEAN → u/Crockpottins]

Not even rumors, just some imaginary bullshit. People just want to be angry.

[u/Impossible_Arrival21 → u/GARGEAN]

brother, the 4090 has been out for years and it's still $3k+. 5090 is surely going to be more than what the 4090 is at rn?

[u/GARGEAN → u/Impossible_Arrival21]

4090 has MSRP of 1.6K and could be brough at that price or quite close to it at multiple points in time. Even now, considering their scarsity recently, they can be brough close to, and sometimes below, 2k.

This "$3k+" you wrote is EXACTLY the type of thing I was talking about: you people just want to be angry. So you always find something to be angry at.

i just googled "4090" and went to the first page of shopping and they ask $3k+ for it. that's where i got my number from.

sure, you can find one for maybe 2k after scrounging for a while on the internet, but even years after launch it's still very hard to find one close to MSRP. 5090 is just going to be that much worse

NV intentionally stopped making the 40-series early to generate demand for 50-series. Prices have risen over the past several months.

They actually cut production earlier than they would with hindsight, leaving too much profit on the table. Hard to time these perfectly.

Please stop helping them anchor higher prices with posts like these.

how am i helping them anchor high prices by complaining about high prices? i bought amd for my build and i'm going to buy amd next (i think, maybe intel). nvidia has made the high end completely inaccessible to the middle class

[u/Standard-Potential-6 → u/Impossible_Arrival21]

insisting the price will be 3k+ based on a manufactured supply shortage during the marketing hype week.

[u/Impossible_Arrival21 → u/Standard-Potential-6]

i am being vocal that i hate their prices, what are they going to do, raise them even higher just to make us even more disappointed? i don't understand

[u/Standard-Potential-6 → u/Impossible_Arrival21]

• the faster and longer they sell out, the higher prices will be next time

• the higher people expect the price to be, if it lists for less, the more likely they are to buy

[u/Impossible_Arrival21 → u/Standard-Potential-6]

yeah, but eventually people won't buy it at all above a certain price, and it's reached that point for me

the issue is convincing everyone else to lower their thresholds as well
