Well, I don't particularly like it, but why would there be a law against it?
People sell stuff for profit. Other people buy it. It's only possible due to limited supply and people willing to pay over the odds.
Just accept that there are people with money to burn, who will essentially generate the demand, and other people are going to supply that and make a profit if they can.

The rest of us just have to be patient, wait for supplies to increase, and then the issue goes away.

Still frustrating though when you know there's new kit out there than you can't get your hands on

Note, I would say that it would be preferable if retailers limited staff sales to 1, and also prevented selling on for say 6 months. But to be honest, I don't hugely begrudge someone working at that retailer on probably a below average wage, making some additional cash from the pocket of someone who's probably overpaid with money to burn.

TBH Nvidia might just rage quit Ampere.

 

[DeathStorm]

I don't mind waiting although I would like to verify all the kit bought actually works while I'm still in the return window...

 

[Vakas]

Do you think there will be limited stock tomorrow and do they go online at 5 pm

 

[KMarzo]

I think stock will be massively limited. I'd check from 2pm.

 

[xb8browney]

I think stock will be way better than the 3080/3090 launch.

So 20 units instead of 10

 

[Vakas]

Just hope I can pick one up tomorrow

Hopefully it's not that bad lol

Haha I think they'll have hundreds.

 

[clv101]

I think shortages have been over hyped, and that most people will get what they want. This won't be a repeat of Nvidia's nonsense.

 

[FrozenShivers]

Haha I think they'll have hundreds.

I hope so dude! Hoping to grab a 5600X or 5800X (probably the latter), probably not the biggest upgrade ever from my 8700K but I have an itch...

I think once Navi launches demand 5000 chips and 6000 graphics cards could go crazy.

Wont be buying from OCUK if i do buy tomorrow as they will be available at many other retailers for a lot cheaper.

But im tempted to wait to see if AMD do a combo deal with their GPUs in a few months after the initial sales surges on both.

 

[Gee]

It was until they started to use inferior internals a month or so back.

You mean changing the controller to a similar performing one? Inferior internals btw.

If you're spending that sort of cash, get a Gen 4 m.2 NVME drive
Ditch that RAM and get 3600 speed RAM. Ryzen loves fast RAM- DDR4 3600 stuff

I wouldn't buy a Gen4 m2 yet, wait until the new controllers are out before you splash.

I don’t think AMD will, but I’m sure OcUK will.

 

[xb8browney]

I don't think they will do a combo, didn't they do something with CPU/mobo for the launch of Ryzen?

Just picked up a Sabrent Rocket gen3 2TB (the TLC non-Q) version for £161. My mobo only has one gen4 slot anyway, so a gen4 drive would be wasted on me anyway. It'll be fine for what I need and I could refer you to LTT's video on SSD comparison as why it probably doesn't matter in the real world anyway

I can see an 8 pack binned 5800X, Asus crosshair X570, and Asus ROG 6900XT plus ripped memory. 5.1Ghz 2100 IF £4999.99

I'm well aware on how M2's perform in games mate . Great price for that 2TB! I saw a 1TB Gen4 going on a certain marketplace for £109 recently.
