oops. Wonder if that will lead to the lower end cards arriving sooner, if they need to repackage them for higher volumes.
These were all August 2022 Articles, the slow down also happened because people were waiting for 40 series.
The articles are pointless now for what will happen as people that waited and decided 40 series is not for them are buying 30 series now that are easy to get hold of at more sensible prices than before, but as the 40 series was released people thought prices of 30 series and AMD 6000 series would come down but reality the opposite has happened prices have gone up.
Examples are easy to see on the OCUK store :-
6950xt Was £800 lowest here before and now £900.

If you check other retailers for these same 6950xt, 3090ti and 3090 they are more and some 3090 models are even £1740 and some refurbished 3090s are £1200 and 3090ti refurbished £1200.. 6950xt cheapest I see right now anywhere but not including postage is £870 but have seen it bounce up to £900+ too. Basically all gone up since the last price drops.
Then cheapest 3090 and 3090ti AIB models at moment are £1200 new or a refurbished ones at £1200 or silly prices of anywhere from £1500 to £1740 for a new 3090 right now for an AIB model or Nvidia store 3090ti FE £1150.
These are for the top cards from Nvidia and AMD, the ones below are all over MSRP still or at same prices they came out lower down the stack , eg 3080ti £930 starting price, 3080 12GB £890, 3080 10GB £760.. and lower down all AIBS above the msrp for FE of course..
Prices are still either bouncing up or coming back down to about £20-50 less on deal days at some retailers but not seeing these so called deals anymore too. So looking like they will all sell out before another price drop now and probably go up as stocks get less and less for them.
4080 16GB is not going to be our saviour either at the £1269 msrp and we all know AIB models will be more. Also yet to wait from AMD 7000 series but things are not looking good and prices probably just as high.
