Here is verbatim what microcenter says specifically on this launch in their FAQ:
Right.
There is zero chance someone is making $5000 in profit from one 5090.
Best Buy was fairly successful warding off scalpers during the last crypto bubble. It didn't prevent scalpers from buying, that's impossible, but they put a long delay in the purchasing process, so it prevented one person with a script from plowing through their inventory giving more people the chance to land cards.
EVGA did actually take preorders. It took them over 6 months to clear the queue, and well, they aren't really in business anymore.
If people could just be patient these things wouldn't be an issue. You don't have one today, what is the big deal waiting a few more months? I suppose if you were older or had an illness, but for everyone else, just be patient and the scalper issue takes care of itself.
So what you are saying is that EVGA sold every single card they could get their hands on for 6 months and then divested from selling graphics cards because it was not worth it. If you are implying that the system they put in place lead to their decline you do not understand the business model Nvidia has put in place with their AiB partners.
No one is going to buy an already overpriced gpu that is linearly 30% minimally more expensive and 30% more power hungry than a 4090 for $5000 net profit. I don't see it. From what I am hearing the ai performance on average is also lackluster outside a few outliers. I guess the joke is on the them at this point . Maybe these are Nvidia employees that attempting to cause mass hype and hysteria. Let's face it these 5090 is not what we all hope it would be!
With the 4090 selling for $2000 or more for a while, the market says you are wrong. The 5090 isn't over priced. That said, it certainly isn't worth $7000, and the market will show that as well.
True but this time Nvidia is orchestrating the shyte show. They stopped the 4000 series supply, The are the ones creating fud about the mass shortages to create and cause more hysteria. It's literally the only play they have because largely everyone already figured out thier marketing multi frame generation is bs!
Last month or so before the supply dried up the 4090s were selling for $1700 according to Pcpartpicker. 2 months ago Lenovo was selling the 4090 suprim liquid for $1599 . Nvidia definitely wants you to focus on end of life supply pricing of the 4090 and not the 95% of life on the market averaging around $1700 to $1800. The market rejected the >$2000 for the 4090 past year this time when Nvidia attempted to price hike the 4090. So there is that. Many are saying a great price for the 4090ti is $1600. So $2000 and up is already a big ask!
With matching pronouns they should get more.
If you can name the specific model, that wasn't the typical price. GPU's aren't sold to AIB's on monthly contracts, there is no way for Nvidia to increase prices in response to market conditions. They can announce higher prices, but all the product is already in the channels and they won't see any additional money from those cards.
