We actually don't know (or at least I haven't seen any info) on the supply of GDDR7. As far as I know this is the first product to utilize GDDR7 and that maybe supply constrained.

It's possible but shouldn't be a long running issue even if it is an issue right now. G7 is an industry standard which means that every memory maker out there will be making it - in contrast to G6X used on 30 and 40 series which was Micron exclusive.

So as I've said there aren't any reasons for 50 series supply to be any worse than 40 series was. It's the same process, same wafers, dies are similar or smaller (aside from the 5090 but that got a +35% price increase to remedy that). The fact that perf/price gains will be relatively small also suggest that the demand will likely be relatively low - probably similar to 40 series for everything below 5090.

Okay, but what does any of that have to do with historical pricing?

My guess is, that if people have a history of buying a product named somehow, and they were satisfied with it, they hope to continue doing so. When they find the current iteration is out of reach, they feel disappointed. They might not gather information from reviews like you do, because that can also be very confusing and time-demanding compared to coasting on the product name alone. The average Joe is much different from users of this forum.
