Are we? Seems like GPUs are not available on launch, or even after a long while. Scalpers are at it again. Should I not wait and look into the used market?
Newegg has gotten some 5080 stock around 4:30 PST the past few days. They’re only in stock for a few minutes so mash F5 and buy whatever is in stock and figure out the rest after checkout. Most are bundled with a PSU, but the ones I’ve seen aren’t crap PSUs they’re trying to get rid of like the 40 launch. https://www.nowinstock.net/computers/videocards/nvidia/rtx5080/full_history/
I manage to get a 5080 at launch with a bundled PSU, then sold the PSU and my old 4080.

Why upgrade from a 4080 to a 5080?
So I have a reason to sell my 4080 to my friend at the discount friend price. They got a 4080 for $700 and I got a 5080 for ~$700.
