Speculators in the dark: RTX 4080s left unsold

According to the first data, the RTX 4080 graphics cards Looks like they don’t sell as well as Nvidia would like. In particular, a lot of stock has remained unsold on store shelves, as many players find the price prohibitive, which is well over $1,000.

Among other things, a job scalper who was left with 6 sealed RTX 4080s no longer knew what to do, because huge foreign chains like Newegg banned returns, made the Internet rounds.
