Question What A Crock the Launch of the RX 9070XT has been today!!!!!

[dpeel]

I started trying to find a RX 9070XT from Newegg and Amazon at 3:00AM Central time this morning. Amazon and Newegg didn't even have them listed until mid morning and then they were already out of stock. Apparently the comments about their being a good stock and the availability was good was a joke. Obviously, the scalpers and their bots have sucked the available cards up to resell on Ebay. I'm very dissapointed and angry about this.

Given all the first day releases over the last several years...you were expecting something else?

I had seen and read from a number of places that this launch would be different...that there was plenty of stock. I even started looking for one at 3AM Central time this morning to try and improve my chances of getting one at the MSRP or very close to it.

You just needed to be faster than the scalper bots.

Why are you mad that you can’t buy an underperforming card which will just get exponentially worse with new games due to it being bad at RT?

I know the local Microcenter had stock the first few hours. I think they still had some expensive aib options and some non xt cards but by this evening they were picked over.
