Avast, matey! Did ye just snag yerself an RTX 5090 or 5080? If so, ye be among the rarest of treasure hunters, for Nvidia's launch be lighter than a parrot's fart, with GPU supplies vanishing faster than rum on a pirate's ship! Arrr!

Ahoy there, mateys! Gather ‘round as I spin ye a yarn of the wild launch of Nvidia’s RTX 5080 and 5090, which went off like a cannon blast, just as the rumor mill had foretold. The stock be scarce as a mermaid’s tears, vanishin’ faster than a ship in a storm!

Now, if ye be lookin’ to get yer hands on one o’ those Blackwell beauties, ye might have to splurge on a new ship—uh, I mean, a full PC—worth its weight in doubloons, as the standalone cards be sold out quicker than a pirate’s loot at a tavern!

Keep yer eyes peeled for updates, for the hunt be far from over, with the next round of GPUs lurkin’ on the horizon.
