AMD and NVIDIA Address GPU Shortage with Situation Improvement on the Horizon
If anyone was looking to buy a new GPU in the past few months, the person is likely familiar with the situation we are in. It is now a fact that the latest generation of GPUs from AMD and NVIDIA are extremely hard to find, and when you come across one it is listed at some mind-blowing price. However, the makers of those GPUs, AMD and NVIDIA, are claiming that we are near the end of this situation and the things are going to be better shortly. And companies such as these two must reach out to consumers and try to satisfy their needs, even in the difficult situation that is going on now with the GPUs.
In the interview with The Verge, AMD has confirmed that it will be selling more Radeon RX 6800, Radeon RX 6800 XT, and Radeon RX 6900 XT graphics cards using its website, throughout Q1 of this year. The company claims that it will try to supply as many customers as possible, without any exact figures. When it comes to NVIDIA, the company has commented that the situation will likely resolve sometime at the end of Q1, meaning that in March things should return to normal. The company has also added that in the meantime consumers shouldn't expect to buy any of the GeForce RTX 3000 series graphics cards at their original MSRP. NVIDIA also continues emphasizing that the reason for such high prices is the high demand they are seeing, exceeding production capacity by far.

Official HOAX acknowledged. Cheers...
from $440 to $500 and now $530 for an RTX 3060 Ti
from $540 to $600 and now $640 for an RTX 3070
from $750 to $780 and now $840 for an RTX 3080
from $1550 to $1580 and now $1900 for an RTX 3090
Prices will stay high as long as people are willing to pay.
When would this mining non-sense stop? How governments allow a so-called currency that only gets value from speculation and consuming huge amount of electricity?
Let's see, will the same happen again on the next generation? Will it again be "we did not expect such big demand"? Oh it likely will be...
Then you can jump to latest generation and in stock you find 6900xt and rtx 3090 for 2500-3000$.
These greedy motherf...... sold to miners as i read in a news, it hurts gamers and game developers.
Game developers got fuc... mostly by Nvidia, they forced them to put reflections on everything and up the graphics quality only to be fuc... because no one has the gpu to experience it.
Also, its the most ass-backwards part of a PC. There isn't another component in the system that degrades in 'relative' performance as quickly as a GPU. Frankly, GPU's should be at consumer CPU prices, period. But hey, I'm not a businessman, and if I was, I'd live a modest and life.
Because...why not.
"In the future there will be more supply"
:rolleyes:Yep that's when I paid 420 for a 1080
AFAIK this only affects the US. I've not seen price hikes (yet) in Europe.
My red line is: Double the raster performance of my 1080Ti (OC vs OC), at the same price point (which neither 3080 nor 6800XT achieve even if prices were normal). I don't care if that's gonna be called 4080 or 5050 or banana and how the product stack will be above and below that, just give me reasonable priced performance.
You can't deliver? No problem at all, I can play at High settings (not ultra) for a couple of years. :)
As far as I'm concerned, miners creating the currency are in support of the crimes that they're used for. That's why I've never mined or traded in crypto even once in my life.
I cannot accept to wait 6 month after launch for mining to became jnprofittable again and buy a brand new card with the launch of the new generation 3 months ahead.
Its crazy
