Now this is just getting RIDICULOUS! $3500 for a graphics card, plus it’s more expensive that Nvidia’s own flagship RTX 3090 !? Someone please explain!
Taken from Videocardz … MSI flagship RTX 3080 TI graphics card model already on sale in the United Arab Emirates.
A Reddit FaisalKhatib claims that he has received photos from a local retailer that is already offering MSI RTX 3080 Ti SUPRIM X for sale. These cards are not meant to be sold till at least next month. According to Faisal, the graphics card is already available for purchase for around 3500 USD.
This is not the first time that retailers from the Middle East have been selling cards weeks in advance. Those stores are usually named, or simply do not care if they are caught breaking the sale embargo.
What the owners of these unreleased cards need to have in mind though is that there are no public drivers for these cards yet. That said, even if they pull a trigger on this 3500 USD graphics card just to have it in advance, it may not necessarily mean they will be able to use it.
