Future prices

random_matt · 31 Mar 2021 at 16:11

Anyone think prices may come down by Autumn? I know it is completely unknown, but struggling whether to return the 6900XT or not.

Is it a nitro+? or a Toxic... if so you should put it on the MM

NO it will be 2022 easy ! Even 23 before prices come down

Personally.. chances are they won't.. especially given chip shortages across several industries, i wouldn't expect it to normalize until around next year.. if that

That is depressing to hear.

It’s bot easy to forecast supply and demand

I would say, more likely yes than no. There's ultimately a finite demand for these cards and so eventually supply will inevitably catch up. Of course if crypto continues to go to the moon that may add yet more supply but it's really hard to say. There's just too many variables to be certain one way or the other.

Send it back...

Unlikely, supply is nowhere near demand right now. Just look at todays drop will give you a good indication on where we're at. 380-500 people trying to buy a single card on each product line, we've got a long long way to go yet.

vince you don't need one! lol

But I have all the other Nitro+ cards so the 6900xt would complete the set

Then I could give my wife the 6800xt Nitro and the world would be a better place....

You are right though it's not required

- I will have had @LtMatt numbers of cards then

https://www.tomshardware.com/uk/news/chip-shortages-to-persist "analysts believe that demand for chips now exceeds supply by about 30%, and it will take three or four quarters for the supply to catch up with the demand. Essentially, this means that chip shortages will persist well into 2022"

You mean she'd stop haggling you for an upgrade?

Who's got more cards, Lt or Kaap? From what i've heard Kaaps got a container full somewhere haha :rolleyes:

Well she currently has a radeon 7 and a 6700xt Nitro+. She barely even games to be fair but when she does she rocks quality hardware!

il keep saying it i expect the ONLY time we will see rrp prices or near them will be black friday deals and thats if anyone actually runs any on gpu's if stocks still a dumpster fire.

random_matt · 31 Mar 2021 at 16:28

Guess I'll keep or just hibernate for 18 months.

Damn, that's one lucky wife :eek:

. My mrs is currently rocking a 1060, missed out on today's drop otherwise would have nabbed her that unicorn 3070 at rrp. I said she's luck to even have a gpu right now, be grateful lol.

Will be an interesting black Friday for gpu's this year, with the lack of supply i do wonder if there will even be a deal for them.

Her rig is up there with mine... if she tested my gpu (6800xt Nitro+) I am sure her machine would get better results... 3000 series ryzen vs gen 1 TR.

She also has a full custom loop and mine is only AIO

Worse still I keep looking at 5000 series ryzens for her

Should really be looking for yourself but as the saying goes.. "happy wife, happy life". I do live by this too lol.
