I hope board partners/Nvidia are replacing bricked units, no questions asked.
News NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Is 2x Faster Than 4080 At $999, RTX 5070 Ti 2x Faster Than 4070 Ti At $769, RTX 5070 Faster Than 4090 For $549

Will be an even look worse if they don't.
This reminds me of the 4090 cable melting crisis.

That could still be attributed to a poor design choice, and user error to an extent. But not this, straight up bricking the cards for installing the FIRST driver available to it.

So is it only a driver issue or driver + something else ? Is that known ? Either way I imagine they'll replace the cards and roll out fixes for the issue eventually.
Apparently, the educated guess is poor quality control of the PCB, itself. Once official drivers are installed, the card starts functioning in 3D mode, increasing power + strain vs 2D mode, when only the basic Windows display drivers are installed. This is just rumored.

Apparently even MD Computers are saying that price of RTX 5090 Rs.2,54,000 + 18% GST + 3% Transaction fee =Rs.3,08,711 while fb sellers are quoting Rs.3,50,000 to 3,65,000 depending on the model.
Apparently the OP in this reddit thread was saying that 2 days ago fb sellers were quoting Rs.3,95,000 but now decreased some 30-40k in 2 days and was telling others to wait more days for the price to fall.
Utsav Computers from Kolkata are quoting Rs.1,22,000 for RTX 5080.

No msrp model costs that much so they are probably charging that for a higher end model is it the astral?
That's still better considering on day one it was 1.4l. But still sh*t.
Also AIBs like Asus and MSI have started increasing their prices similar to how they did during the crypto boom and the 30 series. Asus has raised the price of the Astral model to $3409.

That 5080 price is before gst lol. This generation is cooked, only saving grace will be the founders edition, if we are even getting them at this point...

The existence of scalpers implies a demand for scalped products / pricing, people with deep pockets perfectly willing to pay a premium for an already expensive card.
And I would like to think only businesses can afford to spend on an RTX 5090, even once prices normalize.

Supply is very low as well. Paper launch - for both as even 5080 supply i think is low.
Plus i think 5090 AI performance is much better (Level1Techs guy said so i think) and it might be good value for them. Even gddr7 i read is oriented towards AI as apparently it has hw error correction, not needed for gaming.
These are probably AI first gaming later gpus and then you force some features in to justify AI focus.
And i think they stopped making 4090/4080 too.
AI demand means they probably don't worry about gaming volumes until there is AMD competition.
2L isn't a very high amount. If one has money to waste and an inclination to do so, its an easy buy ( vs say sports cars, watches etc etc )
They even have shit priced 5090 in gold for arab customers, lol.
But its shit value otherwise for normal gamers, probably still justifiable for halo product but not rest of the stack.
A lot of these features will work best with 4090/5090 but people with even 5070/5060/5050 budget will get influenced by it - silly ..
