The utmost misleading statistics claims €829 incl. German VAT for a least overpriced 3080 10GB would be 2% above USA MSRP without VAT. What matters is how good models one would want to buy compare to German MSRPs incl. German VAT because German sold products are bought in Germany with German VAT. Example: Suprim X at €1058.89 is at least 132.5% of this model's initial German MSRP €799 incl. German VAT at a time when, almost two years after 3080 launch, it ought to be below 80%.
In the last two weeks, some cards have increased by €90.
There is no crash (adjustment to too high prices is none), there is no continued crash (when some prices increase drastically) and the statistics and journalists repeat desinformation.
