Aside from the fact that it is hard to find, this GPU highlights all of the best of Intel for such a low price that makes it THE BEST ever

Intel LIED TO US ALL!!! So they decide to market battlemage a bit and have all these "Tubers" premoting this card that is LITERALLY the only 1440p card with over 8GB of VRAM that wont cost you a trip to a loan shark or the black market. Only ne little problem. INTEL DID NOT MAKE ANY AND THE AIB's ARE NOT WILLING TO INVEST IN THIS CARD EITHER!!! So what does this leave us with? About 20 to 50 actual non yoububers got this card along with the reviewer and everyone else has to spend $399 on it to buy it from scalpers on Newegg. Newegg is even channleing what little stock they get directly into those more expensive stores that "Price surge" items like this to get customers used to the idea of paying more $$$. You can even watch it happen on the inventory trackers. Newegg will send a notification that they have the card in stock but 0.5 seconds later they will be sold out and the inventory of the more expensive store will jump up by 10 to 20 cards. They are funneling them into this store because they most likely own it. I have seen similar tactics over at Amazon as well. Point of the story is, if you were unlucky like myself and had your preorder canceled then you are not going to find this card at $250, EVER! Unless you wait a few years and buy it used. I got my hands on s Steel legend that my buddy let me use for a few days and even with my 12900k I did not see a huge boost from my 3060 TI to this card. Seems that DLSS actually does help quite a bit and is miles better than Xess will ever be. I am jaded to the point of hating Intel, AMD and Nvidia. They are scummy companies and operate more like a brothel than an actual business.
