Most of the people are not smart enough to understand this, we could have control over the market prices but they just don't care, they just want their new toys.
Damn. I've been wanting to sell my current laptop and get a new desktop build but this GPU shortage has been a great obstacle, seems I'll have to wait, I hate waiting.
AMD just uploaded more gaming benchmarks of their navi cards, including 4K and 1440p.

But it's on the same platform from the same company, AMD CPU + AMD GPU, lmao. Nvidia has been doing it for years with their technologies (cuda, ray tracing, g-sync, etc), but suddenly AMD does something only for them (as far as we know) and it's bad?
A Ryzen 5 5600X result has appeared on Passmark, which has given to the Ryzen 5 5600X the single-thread performance crown, beating the i9-10900K by almost %10.

I know, under capitalism strict rules this post and whats AMD said is also stupid. I'm just begin idealist like the PR statement from AMD, we all know they're not gonna do anything to the scalper market cause they just don't care as long as someone buys their products..
Everyone in the supply chain makes money from scalpers, even AMD. But we're talking about what's best for users not what makes more money. I see how eBay and Amazon have no direct connection to this market like AMD or their AIBs, so they wouldn't have a reason to provide any help in this...
I think WFH is a very logical step for a lot of tech companies. If your job is being on a computer the whole day in your office office I see a lot of benefices from doing it from your home. I've been working as semi-presential for a few months and it's great, I only have to go a few days a week...
They hyped the people so bad with their "cheap" GPUs which was in first place the pricing range used for years before except for the RTX 2000s rip off, it wasn't innovative or cheap at all. And now this "shortage" it's gonna rise up the prices again just like when they did it with their GTX...
Well if you're gonna play at 4k then what's the point on getting a 165Hz monitor (which is the one OP mentioned) since you wouldn't get that frame rate even with a RTX 3090. If you're playing competitive frame rate is more important than visuals.
