That's awful news and almost leaves the biggest part of the market, the one buying between $300 and $1000 orphan of any Nvidia GPUs except for 5070s on smaller shipments. And that can also change for the worse.

Not a good time for competition.

We'll see if AMD and Intel can take advantage of this or if they stay true to themselves and take this once in a lifetime opportunity and waste is.

Going by the latest Steam survey, it seems like yes, they do already.

Time for Steam to put a bit more effort into their survey and correctly add the Radeon cards into the system, unless they want 10%+ to be seen as DX8 cards...

The doubt is if AMD will be dumb enough to copy Nvidia and cut production of the consumer 9070s, losing the option to sell loads of GPUs by being the only option available and claiming back much needed marketshare from Nvidia.

It's hard to believe AMD would do something like that, but there's been lots of examples of AMD making dumb decisions that seriously hurt them.

My daughter has a 5070ti, glad I built when I did, and the card is pretty slick. Got some power and wasn't too bad. I want to say I grabbed it for $550.

And with nvidia dropping production, can you imagine scalping when the 6000 series arrives?

A 5070Ti for $550 is one hell of a deal you got.

Regarding the 6000 series, who knows when they'll launch at the rate we're going. I don't think neither Nvidia nor AMD will launch new GPUs before the whole memory situation improves, but we'll see how it goes.
