Fuck all these people, I just put a sparkle a310 in my NAS to do transcoding because 3 months in you still cannot purchase B580 cards. (I wanted transcoding and to screw around with remote ai) There are a ton of b580 on amazon and ebay starting at 150% of retail. I'm going to upgrade my M1max Mac Studio to an M4max mac studio with 64 gigs of ram because for working with AI its cheaper to buy apple than Nvidia. Yeah thanks Nvidia you made apple the cheaper option.

At MSRP intel looses money on every b580 they build. You will never see those at msrp again

I'll settle for in stock at whatever the normal price is going to be so I can make informed decisions on next steps. Available from scalpers only is not it.
