There was basically no stock. Moore's Law is Dead had a theory that went like this:Nvidia never wanted to sell the FE cards anyway. They're loss-leaders. The cooler, alone, costs a mint to manufacture. They can't make money on them at that price point. Ergo....they're teasing people into paying the scarcity-pricing for AIB cards that cost more money.Which is very cynical...and probably very accurate.Minimal stock combined with bots/scripts buying the cards for mining means nothing for anyone else. I'll admit the cards look cool--in the hands of reviewers who are probably the only people to get them.
