Stores are getting far more than 1-3 a week. At least the times I've been in the early am.
I can only account for what I'm being told about the Charlotte microcenter. For the past couple weeks they've been getting in more 7000 series cards than 9000. Specifically 7900 XT's and 7800 XT's. I didn't think those were being made anymore, yet, that's what they're getting. With a random 9070/9070 XT throw in. Maybe a couple 5070's and a 5070 Ti. We're talking individual cards, not a case of them.
Come to Kenya, they have lions and zebras.
Can see those over here too.
But do they have badgers?
I was very fortunate to be able to get one myself. I was looking for the Aorus 5090 for a long time and no luck, but the MSI just happened to be available so I nabbed it.
... and mushrooms?

That would be a tuff nut to crack. Would retailers really want to pull all non base model cards of a given line just because the base models sold out?
Nvidia would have to let them increase their margins then or I see some more companies stopping to make graphics cards.
Could do what Apple did with the colored iMacs — only ship them in pallets with all SKUs. Stores always had the purple and orange ones on sale, and the blue ones sold out almost instantly
