Seriously? I find this hard to believe - prices of GPUs have been ridiculously high (much higher than at launch) for so long precisely because the supply was so short.
Pretty much every supplier I've seen would either sell out any high-end Nvidia GPUs almost as soon as they got them or would ramp up the price more and more.
This is either an incorrect rumour or some very weird shitty strategy by Nvidia that backfired hard (I lean towards the former).
Even now OEMs should have very little problems selling cards at (above) MSRP so there must be something more going on.
