I think this needs to end, Nvidia should to stop selling flagship cards and make them available through subscription only. $200/month and you get your 6090 delivery, no more bids and wasted time. For a premium $300/month you can even get early access to new cards before the press does (24 months subscription only, terms and conditions apply)
Meanwhile everyone else can buy prepaid cards, with credit on them. Buy a $300 5060 with 300 hours of gaming on it and 6 months credit life. The more you buy, the more you save!
