Poor availability of RX 6800 (XT) and RTX 3060 Ti and 3070 would be due shortage of GDDR6 chips

My friends in the states just got lucky and nabbed a 3060Ti and a second or third shipment 3070 at Microcenter. The sad fact is they were going to buy 2x 3080! So they will either use these as "rentals" and get 3080Ti or 6900XT later.
Why? Given the lack of goods, they can save up the difference by the time it actually becomes available for sale!

now is gddr6 fault. Is always someone else fault.
I wonder how they plan to do a 20gb version if the problem is the ram.

All prices are going up. I got me an RX 5700XT for 380€ a year ago (24% VAT included), prices are nowhere near that at the moment.
Also, I could get a Ryzen 7 3700x for around 275€ before the Ryzen 5xxx launch. But I said "new series will push the prices of older series down". Well, the 3700x is 20% more expensive now.

Hope the power outage at Micron Fab didnt affect any of the GDDR6 or 6x production.

No doubt covid19 slowed down everything and there's no plan (and it would be really hard to implement one) to keep supply going.
That said, it would have helped if they kept sales free from online bots: sell only physically, one card per happy costumer.

Agree with you in your last paragraph: until RT is either a mind blowing visual enhancement or purely mandatory, I'll disable it to prioritize maxing out other game settings and high FPS (Even if I have the hardware for it).

Honestly in Canada nothing is available. Lot of monitors are out of stock. I've never seen so many out of stock computer products on Amazon.ca.
