Sapphire's PR guy, Edward Crisler, told gamers to chill out about panic-buying hardware because he thinks everything will calm down within six to eight months. He compared the situation to tariff freakouts from earlier this year, where uncertainty drove people into fear mode rather than actual supply problems. Crisler said the gaming community has survived worse situations like the crypto boom, when GPUs basically vanished from stores, and people should just stick with their current rigs instead of dropping cash on unnecessary upgrades.
He thinks the DRAM mess will start fixing itself pretty soon, which goes against most reports saying the shortage will drag through 2027 and 2028. Crisler basically told people to save their money, play games on what they already have, and wait for actual meaningful upgrades instead of chasing the latest hardware every year.
