Relatively easy? Sure...but in order to implement it, they'd have to really give a shit about their community. Reality is, they don't care as long as they get paid by somebody.
Nvidia - 3080 What Happened?
- Thread starter ColdDog
- Start date
It looks like a driver update may have solved some of the issues. Also, NVIDIA has some other things going on. For instance, according to at least one person who's been talking to producers, the folks who were given models to review got the drivers before the AIB companies did. They really didn't have the opportunity to test out their products.
This is bullshit... NVIDIA let this happen, is there no corporate responsibility anymore. Nvidia does not gain credibility from scalpers, this actually makes their brand look bad. I hope someone else steps into the space, AMD would get their shit together, they could compete. AMD needs to change the way they look at things and stop accepting being second best to intel or nvidia. AMD, you can't be great at everything, pick a path, processors or gpu, but its obvious you can't have both.
who in their right mind would pay 3.5k for a not film grade video card lol this is madness. the card was like 1200 or something? thats tripple the price. just wait for it to come available again. man people suck.
TBH if morons are willing to pay double or triple just because they are impatient and they want to show off to their friends, then let them waste their money. You've gotta literally be out of your tree to go on ebay and pay 3k for a 1.5k card just so you can have it 2 weeks early.
I am with you @BUTUZ, I don't think its NVIDIA's responsibility to regulate if their cards are resold on ebay. Its up to you as the consumer to figure out if its worth buying these cards now or waiting for more cards to be sold by NVIDIA. Honestly I hope that no one buys these cards off ebay and those who bought up all the cards are left with thousands of dollars of mech they can't sell. Its not like it was a single run production of the graphics cards and there will be no more. Its just the first wave and there will be lots more made. But I understand people are impatient and in fact those scalpers are banking on it. So wait, no reason to support these people.
As if it couldn't get any stranger - Nvidia no longer selling their Founders Edition 3080/3090 GPUs directly while their store is being upgraded, and have moves to selling Founders Edition throug selected partners, where they exist, as indicted in this from their forums:
From the above, the Founders Edition is not currently available in Europe. Sucks to be European, I suppose.
*Checks map*
This sucks.
