The supply of 4000-series cards started to dry up when they shifted production to prepare for the 5000-series launch, then the 5000s launched with low stock anyway, and now they’re going to reduce production of those.

Majority of gamers are still playing at 1080p and have no use for more than 8GB of memory. Most played games WW are mostly esports games. We wouldn’t build it if there wasn’t a market for it. If 8GB isn’t right for you then there’s 16GB. Same GPU, no compromise, just memory options.
