Gamers left high and dry as scalper bot clears entire Nvidia RTX 5090, RTX 5080 FE stock in Europe

Literally no one can justify being impatient. Remember last year when 50 series cards didn't exist and life went on? You can all wait a little longer and stop encouraging scalpers

Still playing games on an nvidia card thats almost 10 years old and still works great for me. LOL at the suckers paying a small fortune for a piece of electronics that will be obsolete next week :D

Outdated next week.... I have it on high authority from a guy in this comments section that you can pay games in these cards for almost 10 years and "it still works great". Are you calling Joe Schmoe a lier?

I should note, that something shared via Discord doesn't look like a scalper tool, though could be used by them. More like a tool for those who would prefer to avoid queues - and scalpers. Doesn't make it more ethical, though.

"inexcusably limited supply, overwhelming demand"

Without knowing the amount of the limited supply, one cannot know whether the demand has been overwhelming or just as small as the supply. Therefore, simply speaking of "overwhelming demand" is propaganda in the interest of Nvidia, OEMs, distributors and retailers, and is against the interest of us endconsumers.

It's already been leaked that roughly only hundreds of 5090 FE models were produced, with maybe a couple thousand 5080s max. That's DEEP in "paper launch" territory and every scalper's wet dream.
