I’m pretty sick of Nvidia’s shady tactics to inflate prices. First they stop producing 4000 cards way earlier, we saw prices of old cards increasing in price leading to the launch of next gen, which should never happen, usually as new gen comes old cards get heavily discounted. Then they drop feed a laughably low amount of cards and they allow board partners to directly sell their cards with a 30% to 50% mark up over MSRP, so not only it’s a paper launch due to low supply, it’s also fake MSRP to make reviewers think it’s a good deal. Finally even at MSRP the 5000 cards sure barely moving the needle of price/performance. Imagine new gen is so bad that it’s driving your competitors prices up. And then they had the audacity to say: due to high demand it’s out of stock, when in reality they killed supply for both 4000 and 500 series to construct an illusion of high demand.
