I feel for anyone trying to get a GPU now that needs one; this market's screwed-up. Pricing to import to US can't help - I saw Jensen of NVidia a bit ago on Kramer's Mad Money, complaining containers loaded w/ GPU's used to cost around $1k to bring here before COVID, so now it's around $10k to bring a whole container here.
And also miners/scalpers/flippers/retailers/bots ordering tons up ain't helping matters either. The demand don't help either, as I'm sure some 9xx and 10xx owners been holding out for a while, waiting for something like the 3xxx series since many were disappointed w/ round one of RTX on the 2xxx series. And I'm sure this insane demand also causes prices to soar too. I'm sure this stuff ain't cheap for them to make, created, R&D, and all of that stuff either - but let's be real, they (NVidia & AMD) also know the market sucks and are also taking advantage of the complete situation w/ COVID, miners, scalpers, flippers, etc etc; they're, more or less, doing bare minimum here & slapping these cards out there at high prices.
If you can now get one - yeah, even at high prices - it's like winning the PowerBall lottery.
I mean - really, a xx50 class card is THIS price? And it's still not surpassing the 2060, performance-wise? Yeah, give me a break.
This whole thing stinks for PC gamers flat-out.
