As #GamersNexus pointed out: This is #Greedflation!
There is no other explaination re: 42% above #MSRP for #GPU|s that ain't having hands-on customer support for extreme overclocking!
- Like those were absurd but one could at least justify the price with the added cost of having to basically pre-pay at least 1 hour (if not multiple hours) of labour for a spechalized technician that walks people through on #extreme #overclocking!
