This is one of the reasons people saying it's good that games require RTX now pissed me off. Yeah it's been a decade since the technology was released, but the GPU shortages, price gouging, and scalpers have also been going on for that long. It feels like ancient history when you could buy a midrange GPU for MSRP within a year of its release.

There are no more shortages. Companies just raised their stock prices.

There absolutely still are widespread, massive shortages.

As of the time I post this, all models of all RTX 50 series cards are completely out of stock at every large online retailer, other than resellers/scalpers on Ebay.

BestBuy, B&H, NewEgg, Amazon... literally 0 available stock.

Yes, they did also raise their prices, but there is still a massive stock shortage.

99% sure MicroCenter is also effectively completely out of stock for any online purchaser as well, as they basically only ship if you're within a one to two hour drive of one of their physical store locations, and they don't actually have very many locations...

Easy to have a stock shortage when you only send a dozen cards to the stores

I'm still rocking the 2070 super and will continue to do so until it dies, then I might get one of the 3 or 4 series depending on availability.
