In the past, when NVIDIA launched a new graphics card (especially the flagship card), basically the first batch of goods would be sold out quickly, such as the RTX 4090, even though the cryptocurrency is still at a low level, it is still selling quite well. For this reason, the scalper originally thought that the RTX 4080 should be the same, so when it went on sale, he quickly bought several copies. Unexpectedly, all major domestic and foreign media have made overpriced comments. Of course, no one wants to buy the RTX 4080 in the follow-up. The scalpers are bleeding. Now they are trying to sell this card without losing money.
It deserves it!Scalpers want to make a fortune by relying on RTX 4080, but I didn’t expect it to be too difficult to sell and can’t be returned
Ever since NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 went on sale, there have been some negative news, and the negative news is not about performance. Everyone is satisfied with the performance. Compared with the previous generation, it has indeed improved, but the increase is not proportional to the price increase. , so almost every media and YouTuber is explaining this matter.
Like a well-known YouTube channel with over 2 million subscribers Bitwitkylejust to give an example where you can easily feel the CP value, the price of an RTX 4080 graphics card can be combined with an RX 6800XT game console (all):
At that time, foreign media found that AMD’s last-generation flagship graphics card, the RX 6900XT, was actually okay, and it also included the chassis. It can be seen that everyone should choose the RX 6900XT gaming computer:
The day the RTX 4080 went on salesomeone also recorded this rare scene, showing that the card stack looks like something, and almost no one wants to buy it:
Not only stores, but also online shopping. Every model is available, which is completely opposite to the RTX 4090 sale situation:
According to a report from foreign media VideoCardz, when NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 went on sale, a scalper bought 6 RTX 4080 graphics cards. In the past, as long as NVIDIA had a new graphics card, they would start gambling to see if they could make a fortune.
But this time I was not so lucky. Many online shopping and retail stores still have the stock, so no one will buy the scalper when the price is high, and they can only sell it at the suggested price. Even so, as mentioned earlier in the article, it is still not easy to sell, and many scalpers use return methods to avoid losing money:
With more and more people returning goods, many foreign retailers are now canceling the option of refund application to avoid the situation from expanding. A scalper said: “The market is not what I imagined”:
Scalpers returning their #Nvidia RTX 4080s they couldn’t sell on eBay is a big issue for retailers…
It’s so big that @Newegg just removed the refund option for many 4080s!!!
Sorry scalpers, you need to keep that stupid 4080!????https://t.co/aCyYIZ7nnBhttps://t.co/sjKjJGwMvz pic.twitter.com/E337vziBJU

For the scalpers who want to rely on RTX 4080, basically there should be no solution, and they can only sell at a loss, because the current RTX 4080 inventory on the market is very sufficient, and subsequent manufacturers will replenish the stock, so if you want to wait for out of stock to make a lot of money, basically Not likely, not to mention that after AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX goes on sale, the RTX 4080 will definitely become harder to sell, and even NVIDIA will want to lower the price of this graphics card in the future.
It must be better to stop losses as soon as possible.
