No.Wondering if stock and prices will be getting back to normal before end of this year?
It is, but it only got 'high' for those cards in the last week or so. I have been watching 5700xt cards for over a year now, mainly on Newegg and Canada Computers because the prices on Amazon are always too high. I never took the plunge due to their bad reviews and driver issues. I could buy any 5700XT card ON SALE up until Nov. 22nd (when I did actually buy a Sapphire card from Newegg for $380USD). The Gigabyte Rev. 2 card was only $365 USD and was in stock for almost 4 days on Canada Computers for online purchase. Now, all of a sudden, they are all gone on every site. Canada Computers does have some left if you live in Ontario and can go into the store.I think, "No", because we are at BTC ATH again, strong/Bullish ETH, basically, I just took a look at RX 5700 XT card pricing on ebay for new, looking like $700+ for BIN. (MSRP is ~$400.)
Demand is certainly high.
RX 470 on eBay is my go to on this. The only reasonable value under $100 and unlikely to depreciate further, if at all, by March. Can likely rent one for ~$20 by the time you come back here to flip it.And the flip side is, I have NO video card (just integrated) and I'm trying to figure out how to boot strap myself until March so I can finish my new build. Low end prices are still ridiculous even before the shortage.
They will, but not until fall 2021...My only concern is whether $150-200 cards will sell at msrp or not. I am referring to the upcoming 3050Ti and 6600XT.
Unless there's another stimulus check;then longer.My completely seat of the pants guess is that we won't see normal availability from NVIDIA/AMD until at least March.
