So they'll use the non overclockable chips for these cards while giving us the ones that can be oveclocked, in cards that come with a premium price over the regular ones... yeah, that doesn't makes us any favor either.

And Nvidia's solution has already been revealrd: they'll keep making the Turing based 2060 and 2060 Super https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-to-reintroduce-geforce-rtx-2060-and-rtx-2060-super-to-the-market

Bringing in more stock of the 2060 cards at the moment would be a great idea since there is still value for people looking at the low-mid range price point but at the prices stated in that article It just doesn't make any sense.

Yeah, those prices are insane. Then again, I had curiosity and checked several stores in Spain, and the 2060 is out of stock, everywhere. And given that every other card is out of stock, it's not surprising that the stores that have them ask those stupid prices.

What surprises me is the amount of desperate people out there that agree to pay those prices.

I'm sorry for your friend, because he's been scammed.

This is Canadian dollars. Most stuff is inflated. We used to get decent pricing but we pretty much are Australia now. He knew he was overpaying for the card but i guess less hassle than messaging people selling used. Thinking their old ass cards are worth gold, bitcoin or tesla stock. 

So he paid extra to have some peace of mind. I can understand that. But it's still too much.
