minus-squareCritical_Thinker@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·edit-22 days agoThe 4090 basically never went for MSRP until Q4 2024… and now it’s OOS everywhere. nobody scalped the 4080 because it was shit price/perf. 75% of the price of a 4090 too… so why not just pay the extra 25% and get the best? the 4070ti (aka base 4080) was too pricey to scalp given that once you start cranking up the price then why not pay the scalper fee for a 4090. Things below that are not scalp worthy.
