What evidence do you have for "overwhelming demand" other than a retailer's PR? Without actual numbers, there is no evidence.
all this scarcity talk about the 5090/5080 feels like fake news. have a hard time believing people desperately want these cards when the 4090 is still damn good
That's right, blame everybody but the culprit, Nvidia.
They're too ensconced with satisfying AI corpos to care about producing gaming products. They can pump out every single card Microsoft, Meta, Anthropic, and OpenAI need but they can't ship more than a couple thousand 5xxx series cards?
AMD needs to step up with a real solution, now. Nvidia has all but abandoned the gaming market with paper launches and zero product.
