How long

[leclod]

How long till the market settles back to msrp do you think ?

I'd like to buy a 3070 for 500, how long do you want me to wait ?

Honestly, I doubt we will see MSRP ever again for the 3000 series until at least this fall when supply can finally catch up and return to normal.. if we're lucky.

No one knows.

Fall would do nicely, thanks

Probably minimum fall, more likely Q1 2022

If supply issues are addressed soon, then maybe end of this year, start of next year. However, considering that said supply issues affected multiple industries, I don't think that the price would be that much lower.

It's all guesses, but everything I have heard says a year or more. Even then, they're unlikely to return to true pre-shortage prices unless a lot of things change. In particular, the U.S. tariffs (unless they're rescinded) will add 20% to the original MSRP, if you're in the U.S.

I doubt that this year we'll see normal prices. Scalpers have found a fantastic way of making money off this, Bitcoin is now very popular once again and because of covid factories are shorthanded or must work within certain regulations that definitely slow down production. Maybe after the whole covid thing is over, but till then no luck. This is just my opinion.

My guess is as good as anyone else ... I would say Q2 or Q3 2022 for the gpu ... like until they are able to ramp up production and saturates demand ... for the ryzen 5000 cpu some can be found back in stock at close to normal price (even here) so they were able to catch up a bit there ... the things that is different with gpu is that some people always wants more and more of then ... as for the cpu usually normal people will take 1 or 2 ... maybe 3 if they build a lot of system ... gpu ... some wants as much as they can get ...
