Updated: Cyberpunk 2077 NVIDIA RTX 2080 Ti's sold at Auction for $5200
Hah, just crazy, remember the Cyberpunk 2077 NVIDIA RTX 2080 Ti limited edition graphics cards? Well, NVIDIA made just 200 of these Cyberpunk 2077 GPUs, they won’t be sold, but you could potentially win one. As it turns out you now actually can purchase one, through ebay.
The downside, it's priced a nice whopping $4250, and you'd have to be a bit of a 'you know what' to purchase that card at that price. Each card has a custom AL5052 aluminum shroud, with Cyberpunk 2077’s signature yellow styling, and powerful GeForce RTX 2080 Ti hardware underneath.
Btw that is the current bidding price, it might go up even further.
Update: the auction has ended and the card has been sold for a whopping 5200 USD.

Someone having the money to buy something stupid doesn't make the product less stupid. It's not narrow-minded to ask why anyone, regardless of wealth, would spend this amount of money on a cheap cosmetic difference. It's not like the heatsink is made of gold.
Slapping an AMG sticker on your Mercedes C-class isn't going to suddenly make it double in value.
So narrow minded in here. There's plenty of millionaires and billionaires who simply don't care about the cost. Some of them could be collectors. These will sell out, no doubt. They're not for the general public.

The world is full of suckers. I'm sure they will sell all "limited edition" GPUs.

Seeing as someone is bidding on it on eBay for over $4000, it clearly has value to them. Demand price.

A little ironic to bring up value, wouldn't you say? Yes, clearly this is worth over $4000 to someone. Value in this context is subjective. It is of the opinion of the bidders that this product is worth the money. The people you're calling narrow-minded, in their opinion, think it isn't worth paying $4000+ for a different box and a decaled heatsink. I would argue it is narrow-minded to not be understanding of both sides.
That being said, I understand why someone finds this product collectable, and collectors are willing to spend extra for something that is rare. Doesn't change the fact that they're burning money on something with no real additional value. It's not even one-of-a-kind, and we don't even know if Cyberpunk 2077 is going to be a good game. It's probably going to be a good game, but we're getting hyped over something we've never experienced ourselves.
