So what happens to the abundance of cards? They have to sell them sometime, don't they? Will they sell those to integrators and other B2B partners as a tactic to keep the supply for gamers restricted in an effort to keep the high MSRPs? In 2017 it was practical to get an entry-mid (GTX 1060, RX 480) level GPU for <$200 USD. Now the MSRPs for similar cards are a solid 50% more and the gains from each generation haven't been that significant. I think the long term strategy is to price GPUs so ridiculously that services like GeForce Now for $200 per year start to look like a good deal. If Intel ARC wasn't around I'm convinced we'd see reductions in supply, increases in prices, and a bigger push for game streaming. It wouldn't even surprise me to see AMD and Intel get into game streaming deals and for the whole industry to trend in that direction.
