Apparently didn't horde enough for Nvidia, they wrote down $5.5B in inventory. AMD wrote down about $800M.

So what's the markup on this gimmick? I'm sure you could just buy a mini bubble level tool and a GPU support bracket for $30 out the door.

NO GPU FOR YOU GIJIN! So it looks like you need a Japanese resident card to buy a 5080 and 5090 in a specific store or chain in Japan. I mean Americans used to hate Vancouver people going down to their Costco to buy their cheap eggs and milk when the dollar was at par like 10 years ago.

Ehhhh, China has a huge population that loves going around requirements, laws or sales bans and you can bet a lot of them are snapping up any supply that was meant for Japan. Not really surprised and I don't disagree with Japan on this one.NO GPU FOR YOU GIJIN! So it looks like you need a Japanese resident card to buy a 5080 and 5090 in a specific store or chain in Japan.

I'd liken it to if Canada was only issued 1000 F-150s a year and American's could come and buy them for a massive discount and have it practically delivered to their door. Lots of people and companies would be fuming that they couldn't get a work truck (or urban cowboy cosplay vehicle).

the B580 is essentially Intel's version of the RX / RTX #050 level GPU and it beats the 5060 Ti 8GB...granted, that's not to say it means a lot, but there you go!

No drivers for 5060 8GB until launch day, so no pre-release reviews. Given how bad the 5060Ti 8GB is, I'm waiting for more negative reviews.
