      Scalpers helped nvidia push the MSRP of GPUs up dramatically. That’s what they learned.

      The 3080 launched at $699 and scalpers sold it for at least twice that and people ate it up. So, nvidia launched the 4080 for $1,199

        True. Maybe it’s gamers that need to learn not to buy at inflated prices from scalpers. 🤔

        Been thinking about upgrading my 3080 but based on some reviews 3080 was the last gpu that had best bang for the buck. No chance I am paying these ridiculous pieces for an inferior product.
