It looks like the pricing and availability of NVIDIA GeForce & AMD Radeon graphics cards have gotten far worse as GPU shortages continue as we enter Q4 2021. The latest data comes from 3DCenter who has been doing a great job at providing a visual representation of graphics card pricing and availability within the European region.
NVIDIA GeForce & AMD Radeon Graphics Card Prices & GPU Availability Worsens As We Reach The Last Quarter of 2021
Despite things improving, it looks like as we move forward through 2021, the GPU availability & prices for NVIDIA GeForce and AMD Radeon graphics cards become worse than before. We saw some signs of improvement in Q2 but since then, the prices have continued to go up & now sit at an average of 70% markup over the MSRP.

Wrong direction on availability and prices.

The GPU market has been trying to recover ever since the recent crypto boom and the COVID-19 supply constraints which have hampered the industry but that recovery is starting to come to a halt, as reported by 3DCenter in the latest statistics. Compared to early August, NVIDIA graphics cards are now 70% expensive (vs 59%) while AMD graphics cards are 73% expensive (vs 64%). It's a small increase but it breaks the downward trend of NVIDIA and is the largest increase in price since May 2021.
What's worse is the fact that GPU supply is directly proportional to the pricing. We can see as the availability becomes worse, the prices start going up, and based on the trend, if this continues, then we can end up with 2x markup over MSRP by the beginning of Q4 2021.
Certain SKUs such as the Radeon RX 6800, Radeon RX 6800 XT, Radeon RX 6800 XT, Radeon RX 6600 XT, GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, RTX 3080 & RTX 3090 are hard to find. The AMD Radeon RX 6800 (Non-XT) and RX 6600 XT are almost like they don't exist anymore since it's the hardest card to find right now. The Big Navi RX 6800 series also have the highest markups with prices 100% over the MSRP.

Now, based on recent reports, it is likely that COVID-19 restrictions could once again result in limited production of graphics cards based on NVIDIA and AMD GPUs, hampering the recovery rate. Mainstream graphics cards such as the GeForce RTX 3060 series and Radeon RX 6600 XT could be severely affected by this. Furthermore, TSMC is expected to raise prices of 7nm chips which is what the RDNA 2 graphics cards are made on.
A 10% price increase for the 7nm node could further raise the prices of AMD's graphics cards which rely on TSMC for the production of its GPUs. NVIDIA on the other hand relies on Samsung's 8nm node & which has given the edge over AMD's Radeon RX 6000 series lineup since, unlike TSMC, Samsung doesn't have its 7nm production packed to full capacity with various orders from AMD and other chipmakers.
