No End in Sight for Nvidia GeForce RTX 30-Series GPU Shortages

Availability to Worsen in Q1

Oh Lord, please … save us. We mere gamers just want a decent graphics card to play games at 1080p. Oh and BTW … expect prices of graphic cards to go up too

Taken fromTomshardware… When Nvidia launched its RTX 3000 GPUs, the availability of the cards was less than great, with demand far outstripping supply, leading to a shortage. Now a new report suggests the problem is about to get worse.

European hardware retailer Alternate, which operates in Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium, hasspoken with Nvidia大约可以ility and confirmed that, throughout the first quarter, the cards will be even more difficult to come by than before. There are multiple factors at play, including the surge inEthereum mining, none of them good news.

The most obvious factor at hand is that demand is far outstripping supply, and Nvidia simply cannot make enough GPUs amidst the current pandemic. But that’s not all, and Q1 is set to be especially bad for two additional reasons: Chinese New Year, and reduced availability of raw materials for making the new cards.
