PowerColor Red Devil AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT restock was just spotted online selling for twice its original SRP! Although the GPU is selling for $1,357, which is actually considered a decent deal these days with high powered GPUs demanding almost $2,000, the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT was still twice its original price.
AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT Restock
TechRadar confirms that when the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT initially launched on November 18, it was only selling for $649! Even doubling this amount would price the GPU at just $1,298! While this might sound like good news to GPU buyers still since they can buy a GPU that is below the $1,500 budget line, knowing the original SRP, there is clearly an extremely wide gap on how much the GPU costs now and how much its SRP is.
The reason for comparison is due to just recently, a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti was just spotted selling for only $200 more than its original flagship price. This, of course, is a very rare occasion as most GPUs are priced extremely high as seen with the recent PowerColor Red Devil AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT restock which sold for over twice its original launch price.
GPU Price and SRP
Of course, despite the prices, gamers will still have to move fast should they want to avail a good deal on GPUs. Following restock tracker Twitter accounts is very important since they give notifications whenever new stock is available on different online retail stores. The thing is, however, not all of these GPUs are priced fairly.
As of the moment, buying a GPU at SRP is possible but when it comes to GPUs, fans might have to wait a little while longer. A recent AMD Ryzen 9 5900X restock was spotted selling for its exact SRP which could be a good sign for CPUs as scalper prices might have meddled down at last.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti
As of the moment, it's still hard to say whether the recent NVIDIA restock at just $200 markup was a special restock or will it be the new normal for other NVIDIA GPUs. If this is the case, then this will mean that the prices of NVIDIA GPUs might have finally normalized.
However, if the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti that was spotted selling for just $200 past its SRP was an isolated case, then this means it's hard to tell whether NVIDIA really is more affordable compared to its AMD counterparts.
As of the moment, it's safe to say that both AMD and NVIDIA GPUs are still being inflated in prices and it's still hard to expect prices to normalize soon. Aside from the global chip shortage, buyers still have to compete with scalpers and crypto miners which are adding to the difficulty of buying a GPU at fair prices.
