Canceled Nvidia GeForce graphics card sells for the same as a brand-new RTX 5090

An incredibly rare Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti with 20GB of VRAM has sold on eBay for $1,999, and is apparently in full working order with one critical exception: Nvidia drivers do not support this card. The GPU itself is actually less powerful than most modern cards, but is one of the few to ever surface on the secondhand market.

Compared to the best graphics card of the moment, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090, the 20GB VRAM variant of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti doesn't measure up to it. The 20GB 3080 Ti model doesn't even have native driver support, with the card's seller stating a third-party driver like Nvidia-patcher is required to get the card running. Despite this, the RTX 3080 Ti 20GB VRAM sold for as much as an RTX 5090, and the reason why will require a very, very brief history lesson.
