Wtf?! In an ideal depiction of the RTX 5000 launch state, AIB Partner Colorful has worked with an Indian retailer for the RTX 5080 competition. But the three winners do not actually get a free card; They get an opportunity to buy it in MSRP.
Elitehubs X Color RTX 5080 campaign initially appears to offer a free high-end blackwell card. The fact is that there will be only three “winners” of the competition, further suggests that this is the case.
However, it is really offering, it is a chance to buy a colorful RTX 5080 Ultra OC, which is in the Indian MSRP of the rupee. 1,10,000 ($ 1,263)
Checking other online stores in India is a price above all colorful RTX 5080 Ultra OC model which is above that MSRP. It is a high-end-third-party card that accepts, so it seems that participants are getting a chance to buy it at a slightly cheaper price. Nevertheless, most people hope that competitions will have real awards, and the fact that only three will be the winners, a little comedy.
This is also a tragic situation when the only way to buy RTX 5080 from a retailer is a competition, unlike an auction site for a small fate. Like the rest of the Blackwell series, the card is completely sold on Newegg – even in expensive bundles including PSUs and Monitor, listed as out of stock. This is the same position on the best purchase.
Some board partners are charging more than NVIDIA’s $ 999 MSRP for their RTX 5080 cards. Only the FE model is the best purchase at the price that also lists Asus Rog Astral RTX 5080 for $ 1,649.
The RTX 5000 series has been a crushed disappointment for gamers, which is expected to offer a huge generational performance. They have also had to bear the terrible availability.
Stocks and prices decrease over MSRP have re -felt the market like a chip deficiency of 2020 and 2021/Crypto Boom Bar. Add it to overheating connectors, missing ROPs and instability issues, and you can understand why some people have already decided to wait for the RTX 6000 series – or switch to AMD.
