This caused both the GPU manufacturers to lower their pricing. Now many GPUs are literally below MSRP, a dream come true for those who suffered due to the GPU apocalypse. You can see the RTX 3090 Ti being sold for around $1000, where AMD’s kingpin 6900XT is around $699 (30% Below MSRP). The production for the RTX 3080 12GB has been reinstated again due to the same reason. Two sources have claimed that this butterfly effect will continue leading to record-low prices by as early as this month. Snowflake over at mydrivers claims that: ~ Li Fugang If NVIDIA and AMD do not clear out stocks while their next-gen is being produced, it will lead to a massive loss in profit. You can blame the pandemic for this ongoing dilemma. While this does spell trouble for both giants, how will it effect the customers? At first, things may look extremely beneficial for us due to lower prices. However, this could result in massive delays for next-gen. ~ Snowflake
The elephant in the room
Since Lovelace and RDNA 3 are just around the corner, many speculations have started to arise regarding their fate. BitsAndChips claims that RTX 4000 GPUs may be delayed to Q1 2023.
— Bits And Chips – Eng (@BitsAndChipsEng) August 15, 2022 Giving us some hope, a clarification came regarding the effected GPUs. It seems we may only see the RTX 4090 in 2022, whereas all GPUs below and including the RTX 4080 will be seen during Q1 2023. However, take these leaks with a grain of salt because NVIDIA wont bother announcing a whole new generation while only having a BFGPU in its initial lineup.
