>>1066228 It's unreal how much I want team green to fuck off. >>1066233 It's all really bad.

>>1066221 Just like that, the bugmen come out of the woodwork.

>>1066221 In my experience, not counting scalpers and techbros, the guys who buy up these high-end cards aren't "gamers". They don't fucking play games. They use gamer aesthetics and post on /r/pcmasterrace, but they just like building big expensive PCs that sit around and do nothing while they browse reddit. "le adult legos!!1!!" is a phrase they throw around a lot.

>>1066198 was about to post it too lol

>>1066299 that's for teaching redditors how easy its to build pc rather than buying prebuilts. They do play games but normalfag games like black ops and genshin impact with 4090 just because they have the money

>>1066299 Can't see these Sakamoto pics without being remembered of the Sakamoto avarfag back in 2014.

>>1066398 *being reminded Jesus I need some sleep

50 Series Launch Day If you actually tried to get a 50 series today Best Buy just bends you over & fucks your ass while gleefully waving to scalpers bots. Same experience on all retailers. So it's the typical launch day experience.

>>1066506 The fact there are enough people that want to buy these pieces of shit to make them worth scalping is hilarious.

>>1066517 The 5080 is a baffling one since the performance uplift is absolutely pathetic compared to the previous generation, yet you'll see 5080s scalped for double or more the MSRP.

>>1045291 >Are you guys ready for the 5090 at 3000 dollars? Maybe 2 years from now, anon.

>>1066517 AI bros on a budget didn't suddenly disappear so yeah it was pretty obvious the 5090 would end up being unobtainium.

>>1066527 >>1066533 Apparently microcenter only got around 350 5090 cards for the whole nation, likely not much more for newegg, amazon, and best buy. For comparison the 4090 had 130,000 total launch units ready.

>>1066595 >350 There's deliberately shorting the market and there's sheer incompetence. 350 is a number that suggests its far closer to the latter. Nvidia's stock probably hasn't hit its real low just yet.

>>1066601 Or they pulled the old bullshit with backchannel reservation / preorders.

>>1066522 You can now obtain secondhand 4080's for around 600-750 in ebay, craigslist and faceberg market kike~ So essentially the price of a 5070ti Now I need to do gig work in order to get a gpu for blender

>>1066527 >>1066608

>>1066608 I wonder how the scalper bots work. What words would they filter and how could this be listed more accurately? I don't think eBay will honor these purchases if they're contested, but I'm certain they WOULD honor them if the title explicitly said something like "(pictures)" instead of "(see description)".

>>1066601 Allegedly its for CES hype and pre-tariff price expectations so people don't think $2.5k will be bs later. Also its the chink new year where wagies go home in the boonies for a month.

>>1066533 >>1066527 >>1066506 >>1066221 Wait, all this madness is JUST for AI generation? Why? Especially after DeepSeek destroyed everything last week.

>>1066595 >Apparently microcenter only got around 350 5090 cards for the whole nation According to a spreadsheet pulled from some random ledditor's ass, it's actually even worse than that.

>>1066649 Deepseek still uses smaller AI models, and you realize datacenters making these ai models often have over 400 gbps networking links to each server right? Making your own LLM or any other neural network still needs juice.

>>1066608 >>1066650 wew >>1066522 (checked) GPU prices/gains and the retards paying out the ass for them haven't made sense to me for quite some time.

>>1066649 No, they are not AI generation enthusiasts who want the very best right now. You have to understand the kind of people who scalp electronics to begin with, they're the same guys who desperate buy crypto and other memecoins bandwagon in order to make a quick buck. They follow what others are doing and since they have low iq they believe its better to be first than be smart. They have no inherent interest in crypto or hardware, if they had they wouldn't be listing it on ebay. All they see is $$$ signs in them. Just like jews, they want what others want, so they can make money off of them. They're little more than "flipping stacks" putting money in things that are "popular". If deepseekAI had a stock they'd blindly put money into it, without knowing anything about it.

Isn't it strange how all the weird DLSS shilling across the internet suddenly stopped when Nvidia's pocket change ran out?

>>1066689 I was looking at an Nvidia stock community and they were baffled the price didn't bounce back yet. Very amusing stuff.

>>1066689 DLSS looks like the kind of thing that will have subframe latency reduction and other game engine features maturing a decade away, like how gaytracing is barely properly implemented now, a decade later. If moore's law really does break it's a decent bet, but binning silicon chips still seems viable, although you get less yield on the highest end.

>>1066527 It gets worse.

>>1066724 They're being trolled by fake buyers

>>1066724 brb, selling my car!

>>1066724 I mean it's starting to not make sense vs a H200 (which is $30k a pop secondhand but actually has enough VRAM to really do AI) but yeah
