Steam: Nvidia sold 11 GeForce RTX 3000 cards for every Radeon RX 6000 card that AMD sold (guru3d.com)
August 5, 2021

 

What black magic is this? I'm not even getting a single RX 6000 card listed in the steam survey, despite CTRL+F5. Is the survey geo-locked or something?

 

According to the articles, the metrics were obtained via the API which allows querying by Vulkan compatible GPUs, the only place they're appearing.

 

I see them:

Did go through it some days back and summed all RDNA2 models, posted results in RDNA3 thread iirc.

 

The plot thickens...

 

On that note,
Best Buy has had some 6x00s in stock for weeks at ludicrous prices and they are getting reviews.

Wow even Best Buy is price gouging for PC parts now.

 

It's similar to Newegg and Amazon where the prices are dictated by the distributor. They sell the Nvidia versions for MSRP.

 

BestBuy prices for Nvidia cards don't seem out of the ordinary, only AMD cards are inflated. Doesn't matter whether they are in stock or out of stock.

I'm not sure if this a joke post or not, but casually finding graphics cards at MSRP is nearly impossible nowadays. You'd need to camp a night outside retailers who claim they'll have stock of FE cards or you enter a rabbit hole of scripts + twitter + discord + telegram notifications to enter the russian roulette of snatching an ultra rare MSRP deal.

And you need to be lucky enough to live in a country where these deals are attainable.
In the case of Nvidia 3000 series, I have virtually no means of getting a RTX 3000 at MSRP in my country.


The only thing you found was Best Buy showing a list of unavailable FE cards at MSRP.

 

Agreed though my response was to a remark that BestBuy price gouging was across the board but seems more so with AMD cards whether in stock or out of stock. Stock is updated daily and though chances are still slim on securing a purchase the indicated price should be what the retailer is selling the product when in stock.

 

I'm not so sure about that? Here's a listing of Radeon RX 6800 XT and NV RTX 3080

2 6800 XT SKUs at MSRP and 1 3080 SKU at MSRP. The rest are either higher priced OC cards or scalping priced cards from both chip providers.

Seems pretty much the same to me. The only difference is the 3080 isn't as jacked up on the price as the 6800 XT. But if we throw in the 3080 Ti, it's gets jacked up in price similar to the 6800 XT.

So, I'd say that scalping is roughly similar on Best Buy regardless of whether it's AMD or NV.

Nice to see in some places they are back to MSRP. Hopefully in my country it will be back to MSRP soon.

Currently 3060 3070 3080 are around 2-3x MSRP. Down from 3-5x MSRP

 

I made one switch to your search by checking the box saying, "Exclude out of stock", and the results were a little less happy:

 

Well yes. The point someone was making was that NV had MSRP cards there while AMD didn't. The evidence was the out of stock listings for NV cards because there were none in stock. I was just showing that it was the same for AMD as it was for NV.

Any card priced at MSRP will sell out almost instantly. If there were any NV cards in stock, it's highly likely that they also would be highly overpriced. The only reason there are AMD cards in stock is that people aren't as willing to pay that high a price for an AMD card as they are for a NV card.

NVIDIA Announces RTX A2000 Video Card: Low Profile & Low Power for ProViz (anandtech.com)
August 10, 2021

October availability and priced at $450.

 

No word yet on LHR version, though.

 

My understanding is that Best Buy's listed prices are MSRP as set for that specific model. AiB themselves have MSRPs for their specific models above that of the "reference" for Nvidia and AMD. This was an issue prior to the mining demand inflation as well.
