Nvidia snatched them up years ago.

That's why the 5000 series of cards had the FX attached to them.

it kills me that their machines are so overpriced

I priced out their media center pc

their cost $16k+

I can build it exactly the same for under $3k, under $4k for sure

They really are overpriced. Mostly for those people who want the best have the money to blow and dont want to do anything themselves.
