I mean, there’s such a limited volume rn, that they’re just going to get scalped for that price, so it probably doesn’t affect the end buyer’s price much anyways.
Pure greed. TSMC built tons of capacity since the pandemic, RAM makers have cut back production because of low prices.
There is tons of capacity out there to make more graphics cards, even including all the big data centers using them for AI. but i guess its more profitable to only sell cards to rich gamers and AI companies at inflated prices
Same thing with Taylor Swift tickets I guess? I’d imagine it’s because of negative backlash to charging so much. Instead of people being mad at the scalpers, they’d be mad at the retailers.
I’m personally kind of partial to the lottery method for right to buy, since it cuts down on scalpers.

Still, not a great precedent.
I’ve always wondered why board partners didn’t just raise to scalper prices and take a $2200 profit per card sold.
And tbh, it’s Nvidia’s fault that the partners don’t have enough dies, I’d much rather a partner take the margin than an unnecessary middleman.
