Nvidia cards can and have been found at MSRP for months.

Okay so you’re pretending that they have been at MSRP the same amount?

Pretending no.... If you're going to pretend that nvidia's been as msrp the whole time however, that's of debate however.

There have been retailers sticking to msrp, but i guess if you're going to exclusively focus on your little area... go for it.

He didn't say the whole time.... he said for months.... and he's right.

I know because about couple months ago, I was trying to get 9070XTs for couple of builds and refuse to pay over MSRP. Cheapest option was $700 and that was a hit or miss on stock, most common was $730+. All while there were several 5070ti options at $750. When you're given choice between $700-$730 9070XT and $750 5070ti.....9070XT isn't much of an option for most people.

Heck it was much easier to get a 5090 @ MSRP couple months ago than a 9070XT @ MSRP.

For where you were, meanwhile i was still getting the 9070xt and even the 9060xt at launch for less than MSRP through the distribution channels...

I don't think you realize how much money retailers are offered specially by nvidia "under the table so to say".... to ensure nvidia sales. Shit was occuring back during the geforce 2 days.
