I donno man. Vex saying its intentional and held back and to make it seem more popular, but the 4080 didn't sell very well at all so why would they care about artificially limiting something like the 5080? You can't just keep saying stuff like 5080 is just to sell the 5090, and then suddenly its held back stock wise when there IS no 5090s to actually buy. And then you can't just say "oh its for datacenters" after saying "there's stock that's being held back". Like pick a theory and stick to it instead of promoting whatever new theory that's popular, unless the intention is just to get views for videos. Welp

​@@be0wulfmarshallz I think Nvidia is just not producing a lot of them. They aren't simply sitting on supply and carefully drip-feeding to consumers because there is plenty enough demand already without relying on FOMO. It's less artificial scarcity to drive up demand and more not wanting to oversaturate and flood the market with gpus like nvidia did with the 30 series. They want to reliably get rid of old stock without making them so plentiful nvidia no longer has influence on retail value. This way they can keep gpu prices high. This is similar to how the oil industry operates.

If a single discreet GPU is more expensive than a whole mid-range setup?....You are part of the problem if you buy it. My expectation for that amount of money would be able to run native 8K resolution....and that is still a ways off.

[@Tonba1]

It wasnt they lied through their teeth with 3000, they moved the 80 class so close to the 80ti/90 class is was practically dry humping it. The whole reason they went with the 90 branding was so they had an excuse to avoid comparisons with the 2080 ti. The real performance leap from 2000 to 3000 was 35%(thats if you ignore the titan rtx) and it came at the cost of an extra 100 watts (40% increase) 30 series was a scam and people lapped it up

[@Tonba1]

Comparing the titan rtx to the 3090 its only about a 25% increase in performance

sometimes it's wash trading. Scalpers sell to themselves to generate artificial "demand" which in theory increases the likelihood of a genuine purchase. It probably has a name in consumer psychology, but the effect where lack of sales causes people to hold on to their money because "these things can't be very good if no one is buying them" and then the opposite when there appears to be a volume of sales "I better get one as everyone else thinks they are worth it."

commenting here even before watching the video: the reason why we see a bottleneck the logistics soon after the launch/release is that they already send half of their initial stocks to these social media influencers/reviewers/top tier content creators, in the name of making or giving out reviews as soon as possible... this creates an insane hype in the market while also creating artificial scarcity of the cards. and so, these cards are never actually available for the target consumer, but are freely distributed to all those content creators..., and thus finally the cards are sold at/sometimes over MSRP, because they also need to make some profits (only out of the consumer, who badly needs it). it made me made during 4000 series launch too, same thing happening now as well. if all these cards go to the youtubers, then when are the normal customers gonna get it? i am talking thousands of tech channels on this youtube alone... then there are guys who do so called benchmarks... and many more.

It's also supposed to have far better RT performance than any previous AMD card as well but if I were you I'd look into a 4080 super that was used for a good price because you're never gonna find a 5080 for MSRP and the $400 extra isn't worth the non-existent uplift.

[@apemaster6976]

Xtx or used 4090 at a decent price only way to go don't bother waiting.

[@mackdaddypeypey1]

@@michaelgalloway1359lol what a L take. The xt is gonna be closer to 800$ AND it’ll be slower than the xtx WITH less ram as well. The obvious answer is xtx or 4090

I would get an xtx cuz 4090 prices are still kinda ass. Don't bother with waiting, with either xtx or 4090 you'll have a beast gpu

It won’t surprise me if Nvidia purposefully released very limited stock to not only price control but to attract investors - stating that the company is doing very well since their new products always get “sold out, seconds within releasing them”.

[@ChampionUnknown]

What a great 4090Ti and 4080Ti launch...

[@acedfox541]

6:26 And this is how you create price inflation.

[@DemonHand-BuddhaHeart]

You are 100% correct IMO. I actually thought this very thing myself the other day, they deliberately make low stock to make it look like everybody wants them, creating the illusion that sales are going through the roof.

[@DaveTheeMan-wj2nk]

Depending on the price. Nvidia might have just set up the perfect playground for AMD> If their card comes out with a lower price, FSR4, better RT, and the speed of around a 7900xt-7900xtx. it could be a big time winner.

[@nocturnal101ravenous6]

AMD IS NOT COMPETEING IN THE HIGH END...there is no better at a lower price. and AMD cannot even keep stock on the 9800x3d, they are just as bad TBFH. stop sucking their wang.

[@DaveTheeMan-wj2nk]

@@KingShotgunHobo "nobody wants fsr though" You mean FSR3? yeah you're right. FSR4 tho, looks just as good as DLSS from what we've seen of the demo so far. It also works with any fsr 3.1 title, doesn't need to be implemented. everything else you said is based on a different architecture. We have to wait for the release, for the reviews :) No one can say what anything is until that happens. So long as they don't drop the ball, the 9070xt will sell very very well. Including the 9070.

Just checked the situation in Finland. No confirmed availability anywhere. One retailer mentions 10th of March for 5080 arriving at their main warehouse. One retailer has a disclaimer that says "Products unfortunately have a very limited availability!" They claim that batches that have arrived in stock are released for sale at 1 pm on weekdays and are limited to one card per customer. Same goes for every 5080/5090 model. ATM, some prices listed for the 5090 are from 3000 to 3900€, which I guess are just "placeholder" prices, as some others are listed at 2600 to 2900€. 5080 prices are from 1300 to 2300€...

[@Horrorble_Gamer]

It's annoying that all new 5080's were probably bought out by reviewers and gamers already rocking 4080/4090's on their high-end pc's and giving them a bad review compared to their current setup, when people on lower tier cards like a 20-series just want a better card overall and don't have access to it now.

[@cheetahrunout]

Im on a 2080 and was in the market for an upgrade, but just wait for a 5080ti or something. Dont even consider buying this crap.

[@shy9407]

New Transformer DLSS Model is more expensive to run. Ray Reconstruction on 20-30 series leads to a massive 30% FPS drop, but only 5% on 40-50 series. So all that pro-consumer behaviour could be just NVIDIA knowingly lowering your FPS so you decide to upgrade sooner.

[@handledeeznutz109]

DLSS looks like ass and I'm convinced people are deluding themselves into thinking it doesn't, I don't get why it's such a marketed feature.

[@kalle5548]

A local store has a display sample 5090, first thing, they are HUGE. Second; Frame gen looks pretty bad, with the artifacting but I guess the upscaling was slightly better? Gaming and the PC market is really becoming worse and worse

[@Sc5ch]

So would you rather have the option to have a worse version or none at all? Only idiots expect there to be no downside or no scaling between older gpus. Saying worse cards getting worse performance out of a feature designed for more recent cards is "manufactured " is braindead to me. 20/30 series users got something, and you still complain. Features that you don't see a need in will always have people who use them. Stop being close-minded bro.

[@christopherkossman]

Here's the problem. I pre ordered the new ROG 27' 4k 240Hz QD-OLED with DP 2.1, thinking I would surely be able to secure a 5090. The money wasn't an issue, so I wasn't worried. I showed up to microcenter in St. Davids PA at 10:00 PM the night before and was over 80th in line. The store received 4 5090's. Now not only can my rig not run at 4k whatsoever but I can't even get a 4090 because its only capable of DP 1.4 without display stream compression (not to mention the low stock and ABSURD prices). I was so excited and now I feel betrayed by NVIDIA. Not fair. I don't want to return this awesome monitor because in the back of my mind I still have hope I can somehow acquire a 5090. I have a job and I cannot dedicate my every waking hour into checking stock and frankly I can't spend $4k-8k on a scalped card. Gaming is truly the only thing I enjoy and now I can't have that because of NVIDIA's ego.

[@KannaZuki2N3]

The irony is the RTX 5090 pricing at 5.000$ AUD in most Australia retailers. At this point you should go out and buy a used 4090 3.000$ cheaper if you don't care about Multi Frame Generation and the BS 30% uplift in performance lmao...

@ that was the same price for 4090. And for 5090 2500 $$$ Is excellent price, you know why? In EU you can not find one 5090 at all, and if youbfind one it cost 4000-5000 €€€, do you know how to convert 5000€ in Australian $?

[@SasukeyoUchiha]

[@aarond791]

So for Australia: I'm in contact with distributors for the 5090 to do custom builds and they recommended back-orders for end of Feb around January (for me). With this I was curious if ANY retailers actually got GPUs. I opened as many retailers and waited 1 minute after launch, for me it was 12AM all stock was "Pre-order" and "Sold out" status. Being interested I kept refreshing all night and basically watched "Pre-order" status turn to "Out of stock status". My feeling is there actually wasn't stock, or barely any stock to go around so the companies just took pre-orders, blamed "hype" and are actually waiting on the distributors to stock up. Some of the distributor back-orders are going to be as bad as March and quantities are still unknown. I felt this was interesting to share, from a perspective from direct distributor and retail perspective.

[@codycast]

0:35 why would nvidia make a card that costs them more to make (increase ram:cores) when no matter what they make people STILL buy it. Nvidia can basically punk the market by making a slower card and people will still wait in line. Or pay 2x MSRP to scalpers People need to stop blaming nvidia and start blaming consumers
