  One can define the 2020 holiday shopping season by seeing how challenging it is to buy consoles such as PS5 and GPUs like the GeForce RTX 3090, prompting a few people to use other or less legal ways to get these two items. Bots represent a portion of the consoles up for resale; however, robbery is another source. According to Tom's Hardware, worth of GeForce RTX 3090 GPUs, around $340,000 from MSI were stolen that adds up to 40 containers of the known popular cards, based on the interpretation of an inner report from MSI inserted in the tweet beneath. At the high finish of Nvidia's line, the GeForce RTX 3090 sits at $1,499 and regularly sells on eBay for hundreds of dollars more, which seems like enough inspiration to take them. What's unclear is the process of how these cards were stolen.   Tom's Hardware  states that MSI's communications cite video inspections of each truck and surveillance as principal security for GPUs transporting out of distribution centers.
