Nvidia ‘Super’ GPU Shortages May Spark Huge Price Hikes

[orbitalwalsh]

Like I said we got ASUS to agree to hold our £475 price on the Asus EVO OC at MSRP until 9th August as it means they have to support our cost to prevent us making a loss and at MSRP its best card as it’s the fastest available at MSRP with boost clock of 1845MHz.

But yes Super stocks are very tight and shipment volumes very small but things will get better but yes for sure a lot of cards at £475 today will no doubt be £500 plus next week due to supply and demand.

We will hold price and yes of course 5700 XT performs very close to 2070 Super and is nearly £100 cheaper and has no supply issues.

think you could do a package deal or pre fitted, slightly cheaper then RTX 2070 SUPER ?

since AIB will be a while to arrive - £££

You couldn't make this **** up, stock will be low so let's push up the prices. Gotta love Nvidia

Need Intel to do the same now for maximum **** show

Intel: Oh the 9900k is still the best at gaming, next week is a good time for a stock shortage, let’s increase the price by $50usd

"Just get the 2070S, it's only £75 more than the 5700XT".

Yeah, right. I called it from the very beginning. £475 for a 2070S is a great price all things considered, but best of luck ever scoring one for that money. £500+ AIB models only, kiddies, and that's before stock shortages ramp the price up more.

Pure capitalism

You do realise that any price rises due to low stock is nothing to do with NVIDIA.

I'm assuming this is due to TSMC's poisoned wafers?

And where is the stock coming from...

Well the distributor, but you already know that.
You want to blame tsmc for the for the fact that they make the chip, or mother nature for the silicon.

Agree its not Nvidia pushing up the price its the distribution/e-tailer. One thing that OCUK tend not to do where possible. Happens nearly every GPU release on both sides. Dont forget it happened with the AMD 480. The price got pushed up on the 8gb version due to shortages at the beginning and you could only buy the 4gb version, Aftermarket cooler versions as well as blower versions.
