Agreed but 2k for video card that can't cook, make you coffee or wake you up with a kiss on a cheek is still crazy...

Honestly I'd probably bite at $1,200. This card has never been worth the money unless you have a specific use case for it. It simply isn't worth the price difference over a 5080 when you can get one for $1,000.
Having said that I'd still love to have the baddest card available, but don't like feeding the NVIDIA machine obscene amounts of cash to do it.

There really is no game out right now that needs this card. The only one that comes to mind is GTA 6, but that's still years away for PC, and by then we will probably have the Super versions of the 5000 series.

This card is about the 32gb of fast VRAM, which is used to run larger sized AI models. Though the truly slick-deal budget minded should first try just renting some AI time, it's very cheap and likely you'd need a LOT LOT LOT of time to get anywhere near the $2k investment for this card.

Have you played PC VR games? Also, 4K 120+ FPS gaming.

I've seen reports of Best Buy price matching MC, assuming they also have it in stock.

Yeah... Just use vast.ai. Depending on your price of electricity, it will take 1 year to 2 years of 24/7 usage to match a cloud rental from vast.ai. Granted if electricity is cheap where you live then just buy the card, if you're planning a 24/7 run.

people have been saying that ever since the 5090 first came out.

and yet it's always been totally sold out, nearly unobtanium.

many people evidently have a different value system than you do.
