Yea I dunno what kind of weird shit is going on at walmart but you can't buy a 50 series card for below MSRP lol. The cheapest one on Newegg is $700 and it comes with a big ass CPU cooler...The first link is 2nd hand sales on cards which were used and returned to the store.
And the second one is for UK where 5070's MSRP is £539 which is roughly $700 in USD which is +$150 to the US MSRP.
I've been saying for some time that it's the USA market in particular which is thoroughly fucked for some reason when it comes to GPU availability, and the fact that US has generally lowest prices on them could actually be one reason for that. Outside of US cards are much easier to find - but they do tend to cost upwards to 2X of USA MSRPs which could explain exactly why they are easier to find.
At least you can buy that. All the other 50 series cards are 100% unavailable. I checked some of my distributors (Ingram and D&H) and it's no better there.
Don't know about other countries either. But I wouldn't be surprised if they have better stock if they are way more expensive.
I don't feel that bad anymore about paying $600 for my 4070 two years ago. Looking at ebay it hasn't depreciated at all. In fact most of them (used) are going for >$600.
