I thought that gddr6 was in short supply? If so then this itself was cause a bottle neck.
Also launched? Even though they don't know the price themselves?

How much is this bang-for-the-buck thing going to cost? An arm and a leg, or just a regular kidney?

GDDR6 is now outstripping GPU supply. IE - AdoredTV was correct when he said yields on Samsung are horrible.

Usually they would have enough large dies to disable bits on to make lower end cards but they don't due to sucky supply. Hence why there has been no 3050 or anything affordable. Usually these are made with over supply and yields.

I said it before and will say it again - don't expect this to be any cheaper than the 3060. Mostly because TSMC charge a lot more than Samsung, and Nvidia wouldn't bother doing this if there wasn't serious coin in it for them.

As for the price? even Asus don't know, and have been contacted directly. They're still waiting to hear from the master.
