If reports are anything to go by...
So while that's Taiwan it would be unusual for that to be the only location they've been sitting in warehouses.
CBA Watching… title sounds like me tho
It's not overpriced if you're prepared to pay for it. The GPU that you decide to buy is the one that's perfectly priced for you, that's why you bought it - consumers don't want to admit it, but it's true - you don't need a GPU, it's not a product you need to live and so if you buy one then the price you pay is what you were happy with

Just think - they had to place the chip orders quite a few months in advance, especially with that shortage going on. At the time there were not only the historic low interest rates, but also the lockdown-related gaming boom and the insane mining boom. All of these have now passed, and they have stock for an unprecedented demand that has evaporated.
Plus with mining, there could well be a (bigger) flood on the second-hand market any second now, the ethereum switch to PoS happened yesterday and looking at whattomine.com, unless you're paying under 12 US cents per KWh for your power, you're making a loss. Even with free electricity, a 3090 can only make you about a dollar a day, meaning a card won't pay for itself for years (or more likely never)
In the face of all this I genuinely don't think they'll be able to maintain their pricing for long without (as you and others say) drastically limiting supply, trickling it out to market and actively encouraging scalpers. Which may get them in legal hot water, especially if AIB partners need to sell to recoup costs, and which will hit their profits badly as they have to be sitting on a ton of chips.
But I guess we'll just have to watch what happens.
What a load of aimless and annoying rambling and a prime example of why I limit my Youtube tech consumption to only a few content providers.
Did you even watch that video before doing a link'n'run or did you just read the title?

Can wait to see games running on this beast !
Him and his American buddy are the worst tech youtubers and that includes MLID, rambling rubbish all the time and made up "facts".
@Nexus18 Yeah, it actually felt really expensive too.
Looks good but since installing it I’ve not seen it since and won’t do until it’s replaced hopefully! Case dust filters seem to be doing their job so no need to open it up.
The one and only time I’ve bought a FE. Previous ones were all horrible blower type cards I think. Please don’t revert to that crap Nvidia.
Blower cards work very well in vertical cases like the Silverstone FT series.
But but but.... one liners and what they say count as facts!
If only more people weren't as gullible

Surprised you got a thumbs up @HRL. No thermal problems here either.
Don't they do that every release?
Excellent, that’s good news for me then.
