OK, so like, the bestest newest Nvidia card that tops the performance chart is EVGA's RTX 2080 Ti FTW3:

https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=11G-P4-2487-KR

It's $1,350. That's a lot but I guess a hardcore gamer would like to pay that. OK.

But like, oh no! You can't order it! There's an "Auto Notify" button but I read that apparently you have to react to the notify within minutes or seconds because the card will just sell out that fast. Oh no!

So like, the only way to buy it is wait for someone to put it on eBay and sell it for $2,000. So now you have to pay $2,000.

No one's gonna pay that!

But wait!

i want to get a real monitor but i am not getting rid of these 20's and so i need to bring a tape measure to microcenter and buy my monitor based on its vertical height so that everything lines up like a huge rear end matrix hacker display with the widescreen in center and the 20's flanking

they still look really good and i cant bear to get rid of them, garbage res aside

I guess the problem is the cards are best at graphically intense standalone PC games, but developers don't want to make those kind of games anymore because they can make a ton more money with less graphically intense games that run on more computers that require playing on a server so they can have loot boxes and micro transactions. Or just not developing on the PC at all and only doing mobile. (Dungeon Keeper, Diablo, etc.)

Standalone games that don't require playing on a server are usually pirated along with all their expansions and DLC so developers are sick of that as well.

we just got an RTX 2080 Ti direct from Nvidia with no hassle whatsoever

much easier than finding someone selling one for a markup

Yeah but that's just the crappy standard one. The EVGA FTW3 is top binned silicon and has the standard clock speed set higher out of the box!
