Are we? Seems like GPUs are not available on launch, or even after a long while. Scalpers are at it again. Should I not wait and look into the used market?

I dream that the reason AMD delayed their launch and are being so cryptic, is because they saw how underwhelming the 5080 was and decided to make a card (perhaps a 9070 XT) that matches its performance at the price of a 5070 or something.

Now I don't think that will happen. Their previous market strategies have been very uninspired. But there's certainly an opening here to make a play for market share and make Nvidia look like greedy fools.
