If you have a 4k high refresh rate monitor then wait,

Or if you have other uses for such GPU speed.QuotePeople are saying there will be very few when they are released, so people could be waiting to be scalped again if they do wait.
The "normal" release situation is having to wait 1 or 2 months until everybody can buy. Nvidia has bought much TSMC capacity. A new mining boom around Lovelace launch seems unlikely. Supply of raw materials for wafer and GPU production should not be too bad. So unless China attacks Taiwan or Nvidia creates an artificial shortage for the sake of driving consumers permanently to AMD, the situation should be "normal" rather than similarly bad as for Ampere.

Quote from: RobertJasiek on August 09, 2022, 14:13:02The heading says: "Nvidia finally offers generous discounts for its RTX 3000 cards"
The reality in Germany is, e.g. for 3080 SUPRIM X:
- 10GB €1009 = 126.3% MSRP on 2022-05-07
- 10GB €1058.89 = 132.5% MSRP on 2022-08-09
- 12GB €908.90 = 113.8% MSRP of 10GB on 2022-07-19
- 12GB €1006.58 = 126% MSRP of 10GB on 2022-08-09
I know, I know, the utopian MSRPs of 3090TI etc. have got generous discounts but who cares? The only thing that matters is prices of cards one would actually want to buy, such as 3080 SUPRIM X 10GB (not the loud 12GB), whose German MSRP was €799. Today, I would pay 78% MSRP = €623 swallowing LHR but I would only consider a discount price significantly below that "generous". Tomorrow, I will pay less.
