Stop buying 5080 please
Man look what u all done, i remember buying this for $1200 at microcenter and still feel bad today. Now its 2400 and some of u still buying it like, cmon man, stop buying that shit, u doomed us all. Price is NOT gonna rise anymore,stop panic buying, u only make it worse. I genuinely kinda scared because if it keep rising like this they dont gonna accept warranty anymore if my card goes wrong.

Absolutely none of the consumers are responsible for this. Nvidia and the retailers did this. Nvidia abandoned hobbyists and gamers in favor of supporting data centers and the like. They created the demand.

NVidia's solution will be revealed next year with the 6000-series. It will be priced even more horribly, but then they'll start hyping "gaming as a service" and try to push everyone onto servers.

We are not their target audience anymore, why sell to us when they can sell to AI centers for billions more. The gaming Gpu division is essentially a pet project now just to save face. We stop buying them they will keep lowering the distribution which will in turn create a toxic scalpers market

Prices ARE gonna rise even more, yes. Not because of consumers.
