Although it is seen that GPU prices are going down, it is still not easy to get hold of a new graph, in part because AMD web anti-bot measures not working properly. A leaked screenshot claims that a bot managed to buy most of the GPUs offered in AMD's latest European offering.
AMD uploads a batch of new graphics every week, but almost all of them are being kept by resellers, who resell them at double their price. This is why, although there are more and more units for sale, few reach users.
AMD does not control reseller bots well on its website
A Reddit user has posted a screenshot allegedly posted to a Stock Tracker Discord chat. It shows purchase stats for the Vuurvlieg AMD Companion script, one of many bots designed to grab a graphics card when it goes on sale.
The bot bought 214 of the 350 GPUs that AMD allocated to the European market in a weekly batch. She managed to buy almost all the RX 6800 XT, of which only 50 were available, and half of the RX 6700 XT.
This is the result of one bot, but it could be extrapolated to others. Given that he bought a lot of the stock that AMD put up for sale, it's not hard to assume that almost no human user got hold of any of these graphics cards. Given that the GPU shortage is not expected to end for consumers until at least next year, it is very likely that this scene will repeat itself, with GPUs intended for resale going down in price as there are no users willing to buy them cheaply. such a high premium.
