We are coming out of a once in 100yr pandemic that has influenced markets including PC hardware. It is not normal and as such should not be used as a quantifier for normal conditions.
We are also midst an energy crisis from a major war, which is not normal. (increase supply costs, but decreased mining demand)
What we can use as predictors.....history...and more importantly demand that we as consumers control. If we purchase at these prices, it guarantees prices will not go down. If we do not...they will.
Its been at least 6 months that it has not gone below MSRP $999
Id say the average price has been around 1100-1200.
Its DEFINATELY coming down in price.

Your decision is buy this or wait a few months for new cards at a much higher price.
A theory that I dont think will happen is people are holding out for the next gen cards to release, thus the demand is down hints stock/pricing but when 40 series releases and AMD's equivalent, there will be a shortage all over again.. the other theory is that demand is slowing down because more people have the cards they want and things will continue to get better with some bumps possible at launch but nothing as bad as we seen it for as long term.
When you buy this card, you're taking a gamble on the future. For the same price or less by waiting a little while longer, you could get a much more powerful GPU. On the flipside if the first theory I mentioned were to happen, you'd be waiting and waiting for prices to get to this level even with these current cards.
Personally if you need a card now, get this or Nvidia. They're way better than what many people had to settle for at much worse prices. If you have a cash back card or something similar where it can cut some more money off, it gets you even closer to MSRP. MSRP is nothing to complain about right now.
If its a non-super-important upgrade.. I would wait. There's a very strong likelyhood of 40 series releasing in the near future. Just note that it wont be weeks but months away. If you are ontop of it you can use EVGA's queue system. Its how I was able to get my 3080 before most YouTubers and streamers even.. its a great system that locks you into MSRP without extreme botting like on most retail sites.
Running dual monitors at 1440p, warzone on max settings (except SSR). I was getting about 150-170 FPS in windowed full screen on RTX 3090. DLSS = ON
6900xt gets me 170-195 at a lower price tag.
Paid $1650 for 3090 FE
Paid $1000 for 6900xt.
