Update: Powerful Nvidia RTX 30-series graphics cards crash in price — get upgrading now. 

Now might finally be the time to begin seeking out where to buy an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080, as prices for it and the rest of the GeForce 30-series cards are taking a tumble and restocks are appearing to last longer. 

Furthermore, some research by PC Gamer found that stock levels for graphics cards at U.S., U.K. and European retailers show a lot more GPUs are actually available to buy or are listed as in stock. Though senior hardware editor Jacob Ridley did note that only some GPUs could be found at MSRP. 

If you want a new graphics card in the next month or so, or indeed one of our picks for the best gaming PCs loaded with a powerful GPU, then it's looking promising that you could get one without overpaying for it.
